[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 3The present invention provides a gear-type drive structure for a sweeping machine, comprising a motor 1, a housing 20, motor gears 4, a transmission module 50, and output gears 7. The housing 20 comprises a lower housing 2 and an upper housing 3. The motor 1 is fixed to the side of the lower housing 2 facing away from the upper housing 3. The motor gears 4, transmission module 50, and output gears 7 are housed within the lower housing 2. The upper housing 3 is fixedly connected to the lower housing 2 and serves to cover the motor gears 4, transmission module 50, and output gears 7, thereby protecting them and improving the service life of the drive structure. The motor gears 4 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 1, while the output gears 7 are rotatably connected to the housing 20. The output gears 7 are secured to a cleaning component, preferably a side brush in this embodiment. The transmission module 50 is connected to the housing 20 and meshes with the motor gears 4 and output gears 7, respectively. During operation, the motor 1 drives the motor gears 4 to rotate, which, through the transmission module 50, drives the output gears 7 to rotate, thereby driving the side brush to rotate and perform cleaning operations.
[0028] In this embodiment, the motor 1 specifically includes a main body 1.2 and an output shaft 1.3 extending relative to the main body 1.2. The output shaft 1.3 is provided with a knurled structure 1.1 on its radial outer wall. The motor teeth 4 are made of a relatively low-cost plastic. The motor teeth 4 are sleeved on the output shaft 1.3 with an interference fit and cover at least a portion of the knurled structure 1.1. The motor teeth 4 are provided with a stepped portion 4.1 on the side facing away from the main body 1.2. In other words, the motor teeth 4 of this solution are no longer made of copper, but are made of a lower-cost plastic material, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the sweeper. Based on the design that the motor teeth 4 are plastic parts, in order to improve the reliability of the connection between the motor teeth 4 and the output shaft 1.3 of the motor 1, this solution provides a knurled structure 1.1 on the outer wall of the output shaft 1.3 of the motor 1, and designs the motor teeth 4 to be interference fit with the output shaft 1.3 of the motor 1, thereby ensuring that the motor teeth 4 will not slide radially or rotate relative to the output shaft 1.3 of the motor 1. In addition, this solution also provides a step portion 4.1 on the motor tooth 4. On the one hand, this step portion 4.1 can increase the thickness of the motor tooth 4 to improve the structural strength of the motor tooth 4 and reduce the risk of breakage of the plastic material of the motor tooth 4. On the other hand, the step portion 4.1 can serve as a pressure-bearing part, so that when the motor tooth 4 is inserted into the output shaft 1.3 of the motor 1 using an external tooling, the external tooling will not damage the tooth-shaped portion at the outer edge of the motor tooth 4.
[0029] In this embodiment, the transmission module 50 preferably includes a transmission gear 5 and a gear shaft 6. One end of the gear shaft 6 is connected to the lower housing 2, and the other end of the gear shaft 6 is connected to the upper housing 3. The transmission gear 5 rotates about the axis of the gear shaft 6. In other embodiments, the transmission module 50 may also include multiple transmission gears 5 that mesh with each other in sequence.
[0030] In this embodiment, a spring clip 8 is fixed on the output tooth 7. The spring clip 8 is fixed to the end of the output tooth 7 by means of screws. The shape of the spring clip 8 is preferably N-shaped. The spring clip 8 is used to limit the position of the side brush. By providing the spring clip 8, it is convenient for users to assemble and disassemble the side brush, thereby improving the efficiency of maintaining or replacing the side brush.
[0031] This embodiment also provides a sweeping machine, which includes a side brush and applies the gear drive structure described above. In addition, a negative pressure device is usually provided at the bottom of the sweeping machine. By activating the negative pressure device, the garbage brushed by the side brush can be collected to achieve the purpose of sweeping the floor.
[0032] The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and only specifically describes the technical principles of the present invention. These descriptions are intended only to explain the principles of the present invention and should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the explanations herein, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention, as well as other specific embodiments of the present invention that can be imagined by those skilled in the art without inventive effort, shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
