Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a base station and a cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] A floor scrubber is a cleaning machine suitable for cleaning hard floors while sucking out wastewater and taking it away from the site. It has the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, and high efficiency.

[0003] A floor scrubber consists of a main unit and a base unit. The base unit is equipped with a cleaning tank for cleaning the main unit's roller brush. However, in existing base units, the cleaning tank is relatively large when cleaning the main unit's roller brush. This results in a larger overall base unit size and requires a large amount of water for self-cleaning, increasing the production cost of the floor scrubber and providing a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the present utility model is to provide a base station and a cleaning device, which at least solve the problem of the large size of the base station of the floor scrubber in the prior art.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a base station is provided, which is used for a cleaning device, wherein the cleaning device includes a floor brush body and a cleaning member provided at the end of the floor brush body, and the base station includes:

[0006] The main body is provided with a bearing inclined surface and a cleaning groove, the cleaning groove is located on the side of the bearing inclined surface, the bearing inclined surface is used to support the floor brush main body, and the cleaning groove is used to accommodate and clean the cleaning member located at the end of the floor brush main body.

[0007] Furthermore, an included angle α between the supporting inclined surface and the bottom of the base station satisfies the relationship: 45°≤α≤55°.

[0008] Furthermore, when the floor brush body is placed on the supporting inclined surface, along the first direction, a maximum distance L1 between the cleaning member and a side wall surface of the cleaning tank facing away from the supporting inclined surface satisfies the relationship: 24 mm ≤ L1 ≤ 28 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the side wall surface includes an inclined surface or a curved surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the width W of the cleaning tank gradually decreases from the top to the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0011] Furthermore, when the cleaning member is placed in the cleaning tank, there is a gap between the cleaning member and the floor brush body and the inner wall surface of the cleaning tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the cleaning member includes a roller, and the diameter D of the roller and the depth H of the cleaning tank satisfy the relationship: (D / 3+1) mm≤H≤(D / 3+3.5) mm.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of water spraying ports are provided on a side of the cleaning tank close to the supporting inclined surface, and the water spraying ports are sequentially spaced apart along the first direction of the base station.

[0014] Furthermore, along the first direction, air outlets are provided at both opposite ends of the cleaning tank.

[0015] On the other hand, the present invention further provides a cleaning device, which includes the above-mentioned base station.

[0016] In the present invention, during actual use, since a supporting slope and a cleaning trough are provided on the main body of the base station, the cleaning trough is provided on the side of the supporting slope. After the floor brush main body on the cleaning device and the cleaning member provided at the end of the floor brush main body have completed the cleaning function, the floor brush main body is placed on the supporting slope. At this time, the cleaning member located at the end of the floor brush main body is just accommodated in the cleaning trough. With such a configuration, the supporting slope can support the floor brush main body and make the floor brush main body in an inclined state. Compared with a structure in which the entire floor brush main body is directly placed in the cleaning trough to clean the cleaning member without providing a supporting slope, the structure of the base station of the present application can reduce the overall volume of the base station to a certain extent, and only a relatively small cleaning trough is required to clean the cleaning member. During cleaning, only a small amount of water needs to be injected into the cleaning trough to immerse the cleaning member, and less water is used to clean the cleaning member, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0026] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, the numerical expressions and the numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The techniques, methods and equipment known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0027] As mentioned in the background technology, when a base station in the prior art cleans the roller brush on the main unit, the cleaning tank on the base station is relatively large, resulting in a larger overall base station volume and a larger amount of water required for self-cleaning. This increases the production cost of the floor scrubber and provides a poor user experience. To this end, the present application proposes a base station that is provided with a load-bearing inclined surface and a cleaning tank, which reduces the overall volume of the base station. The cleaning tank provided on the base station can soak the cleaning parts on the cleaning equipment, reducing the water consumption of the cleaning parts during self-cleaning. The base of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a base station is provided. Specifically, the base station 10 is used for a cleaning device 20, which includes a floor brush body 21 and a cleaning member 22 provided at the end of the floor brush body 21, wherein the base station 10 includes a body 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, a supporting slope 111 and a cleaning groove 112 are provided on the main body 11. The cleaning groove 112 is located on the side of the supporting slope 111. The supporting slope 111 is used to support the floor brush main body 21, and the cleaning groove 112 is used to accommodate and clean the cleaning member 22 located at the end of the floor brush main body 21.

[0030] In actual use, the main body 11 of the base station 10 is provided with a supporting inclined surface 111 and a cleaning groove 112, and the cleaning groove 112 is provided on the side of the supporting inclined surface 111. After the floor brush main body 21 of the cleaning device 20 and the cleaning member 22 provided at the end of the floor brush main body 21 have completed their cleaning function, the floor brush main body 21 is placed on the supporting inclined surface 111. At this time, the cleaning member 22 located at the end of the floor brush main body 21 is just accommodated in the cleaning groove 112. In this configuration, the supporting slope 111 can support the floor brush body 21 and make the floor brush body 21 in an inclined state. Compared with the structure without providing the supporting slope 111 and directly placing the entire floor brush body 21 in the cleaning groove 112 to clean the cleaning member 22, the structure of the base station 10 of the present application can reduce the overall volume of the base station 10 to a certain extent, and only a relatively small cleaning groove 112 is needed to clean the cleaning member 22. During cleaning, only a small amount of water needs to be injected into the cleaning groove 112 to immerse the cleaning member 22, and less water is used to clean the cleaning member 22.

[0031] In addition, the support slope 111 allows the floor brush body 21 to be easily placed on the base station 10, especially for heavier or large floor scrubbers. The support slope 111 can reduce the user's physical exertion when moving the equipment; the support slope 111 can also stably support the host structure with the floor brush body 21.

[0032] In general, this embodiment provides the supporting slope 111 and the cleaning groove 112 on the base station 10, which not only reduces the overall volume of the base station 10, but also reduces the amount of water used by the cleaning member 22 during the cleaning process, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the angle α between the supporting slope 111 and the bottom of the base station 10 satisfies the relationship: 45°≤α≤55°. Exemplarily, the degree of the angle α can be 45°, 46°, 50°, 52°, 54°, 55°, etc. When designing the supporting slope 111, it is necessary to consider the inclination angle of the design. The inclination angle should not be too large, otherwise it may cause the floor scrubber to slip or be difficult to maintain balance when moving up and down the supporting slope 111. In the present application, the preferred inclination angle of the supporting slope 111 is about 50°. When the inclination angle is about 50°, it can facilitate the up and down movement of the floor scrubber and maintain the placement stability of the floor brush body 21.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the floor brush body 21 is placed on the supporting inclined surface 111, it moves along the first direction (i.e. Figure 1 ), the maximum distance L1 between the cleaning member 22 and the side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 away from the supporting slope 111 satisfies the relationship: 24mm≤L1≤28mm. When the floor scrubber finishes working, it needs to be placed on the base station 10 for charging or self-cleaning. At this time, the floor brush body 21 is perpendicular to the handheld part. When the floor brush body 21 is placed on the supporting slope 111, the floor brush body 21 can be swung to fit the supporting slope 111 through a mechanical linkage structure or electric adjustment. At this time, when the maximum distance L1 between the cleaning member 22 and the side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 away from the supporting slope 111 satisfies the relationship: 24mm≤L1≤28mm. Exemplarily, the value of the maximum spacing L1 can be 24mm, 25mm, 26mm, 27mm, 28mm, etc. In this embodiment, the preferred maximum spacing L1 is 26mm. At this time, it is convenient to place the floor scrubber on the supporting slope 111 of the base station 10 without making the base station 10 too large.

[0035] Furthermore, the side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 that is away from the supporting inclined surface 111 can be a slope or a curved surface. Regardless of whether it is designed as a slope or a curved surface, it is beneficial for the cleaning member 22 to be placed in the cleaning tank 112. When the cleaning member 22 is self-cleaning in the cleaning tank 112, when the cleaning member 22 rotates during the soaking process, some washing water may be brought out. The side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 that is away from the supporting inclined surface 111 can be designed as a slope or a curved surface, which can reduce the phenomenon of liquid splashing during the cleaning process to a certain extent and keep the surrounding environment dry and tidy; it can also promote water to slide quickly into the cleaning tank 112, reduce dirt accumulation, and be easier to clean. This embodiment is also beneficial to increase the structural strength of the side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 by setting the side wall surface 1121 as a slope or a curved surface, reduce deformation or damage caused by long-term use, and extend the service life of the cleaning tank 112 and the floor scrubber. From a visual perspective, the design of a bevel or curved surface is also conducive to enhancing the aesthetics of the floor scrubber, giving people a more modern and beautiful feeling, and improving the overall appearance of the product. Figures 1 to 3 FIG. 3 shows a case where the side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 is set as an inclined surface. Setting it as an inclined surface can reduce the difficulty of production and processing and improve production efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, the width W of the cleaning tank 112 gradually decreases from the top to the bottom. This reduces the chance of hard contact between the cleaning member 22 and the sidewalls 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 when the cleaning member 22 is placed in or removed from the cleaning tank 112, thus reducing resistance. This arrangement also improves the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning member 22 and, to a certain extent, reduces air resistance. When the cleaning member 22 enters or leaves the cleaning tank 112, the width W gradually decreases from the top to the bottom, making the entire process smoother.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, when the cleaning member 22 is placed in the cleaning tank 112, there is a gap between the cleaning member 22 and the floor brush body 21 and the inner wall surface 1124 of the cleaning tank 112. When the floor brush body 21 is placed on the supporting inclined surface 111, the cleaning member 22 is placed in the cleaning tank 112, maintaining a certain gap between the inner wall surface 1124 on both sides. This arrangement reduces friction with the inner wall surface 1124 when the floor scrubber needs to be placed or removed, extending the service life of the floor scrubber.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the cleaning member 22 comprises a roller 221. The diameter D of the roller 221 and the depth H of the cleaning tank 112 satisfy the relationship: (D / 3+1) mm ≤ H ≤ (D / 3+3.5) mm. Specifically, the depth H is the distance from the top to the bottom of the cleaning tank 112. In this embodiment, the cleaning member 22 comprises the roller 221 and a mop (not shown). In this application, the depth H of the cleaning tank 112 is calculated based on the diameter of the roller 221. In this embodiment, one-third of the cleaning member 22 is immersed in the cleaning tank 112. When the cleaning member 22 is driven by an internal motor, the entire cleaning member 22 is immersed, providing a deep clean. When the cleaning member 22 is cleaning, the bristles on the mop will align with the roller 221. After cleaning, the bristles on the mop will stand upright. Therefore, a certain distance is reserved for the depth H of the cleaning tank 112 during the design to ensure that the cleaning member 22 can rotate smoothly during the cleaning process for a thorough cleaning. In this embodiment, the reserved distance is 1 mm to 3.5 mm. For example, if the diameter of the roller 221 is 45 mm, the depth H of the cleaning tank 112 is 16 mm to 18.5 mm. Therefore, the depth H of the cleaning tank 112 can be 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 18.5 mm, etc. In actual design, the appropriate tank depth can be selected based on the optimal cleaning state of the cleaning member 22 in the cleaning tank 112 during cleaning.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of water spraying ports 1122 are provided on one side of the cleaning tank 112 close to the supporting inclined surface 111, and the water spraying ports 1122 are arranged along the first direction (ie, Figure 3 ) are arranged in sequence at intervals. For example, the number of water nozzles 1122 can be 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, etc. The specific number of water nozzles 1122 can be reasonably arranged according to the length of the base station 10, and is not specifically limited in this application. The water nozzles 1122 are arranged in the cleaning tank 112. After the cleaning device 20 finishes working, when the cleaning member 22 on the cleaning device 20 needs to be self-cleaned, when the floor brush body 21 is tilted and placed on the supporting inclined surface 111, the cleaning member 22 is just placed in the cleaning tank 112; when water is added to the cleaning tank 112, the cleaning member 22 can be soaked. The motor (not shown) inside the drum 221 of the cleaning element 22 drives the cleaning element 22 to rotate or reverse, thereby performing a self-cleaning process for 2 to 3 minutes. When the cleaning step is completed, the water suction device on the cleaning element 22 sucks the washing water to the sewage inlet on the base station 10 through suction, thereby discharging the sewage. The immersion method can achieve a deep clean of the cleaning element 22. The immersion water contains cleaning fluid, which can further remove garbage and other items attached to the cleaning element 22, reducing the problem of bacterial growth and improving the user experience.

[0040] See again Figure 3 As shown, along the first direction (i.e. the length direction of the base station 10, also Figure 3 Air outlets 1123 are provided at opposite ends of the cleaning tank 112 (in the x-direction shown in the figure). After the cleaning member 22 completes self-cleaning, a drying assembly (not shown) on the base station 10 provides drying airflow to the air outlets 1123 on opposite sides of the cleaning tank 112, simultaneously blowing air onto the opposite sides of the cleaning member 22 along the first direction. This drying efficiency is increased, allowing the cleaning member 22 to be fully dried in a short period of time, resulting in a better drying effect.

[0041] It can be seen from the above embodiments that the base station of the present utility model can at least achieve the following technical effects:

[0042] (1) The utility model provides a supporting slope on the base station and a cleaning groove on the side of the supporting slope. When the brush body is placed on the supporting slope and fits in place, the cleaning element is placed in the cleaning groove. The provision of the supporting slope can reduce the overall volume of the base station, and the volume of the cleaning groove is also reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the amount of water required for the cleaning element to clean itself.

[0043] (2) The present invention reduces the splashing of liquid during the self-cleaning process, reduces the friction between the cleaning element and the cleaning tank, and increases the service life of the cleaning equipment by setting the side wall of the cleaning tank away from the supporting inclined surface to an inclined surface or an arc surface;

[0044] (3) The utility model provides a plurality of water spray ports on one side of the cleaning tank close to the load-bearing slope, and provides air outlets on both opposite sides of the cleaning tank, so that the cleaning parts are thoroughly cleaned and blown dry, thereby reducing the problem of bacterial growth.

[0045] On the other hand, combined Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention further provides a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes the above-mentioned base station 10. For example, the cleaning device can be a sweeper, a floor scrubber, a vacuum cleaner, etc. The cleaning device includes the base station 10 and the cleaning device 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, a floor scrubber is taken as an example for introduction. Floor scrubbers can be applied in many scenarios and can be used for household, commercial and industrial use. Among them, household floor scrubbers are small in size, light and easy to operate. Its functions may include wet mopping, dry suction, steam cleaning, etc. Taking a household floor scrubber as an example, a bearing slope 111 is provided on the base station 10 of the household floor scrubber, so that the cleaning tank 112 is only used to clean the cleaning parts 22, reducing the volume of the cleaning tank 112, and thus the volume of the base station 10 is also reduced. When the cleaning parts 22 are self-cleaned, the water consumption is reduced, which improves the user experience. In addition, by providing a bearing slope 111 on the main body 11 of the base station 10, the floor scrubber can be placed more stably on the bearing slope 111, and the physical exertion of the user when moving the floor scrubber is reduced. In addition, setting the side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 away from the supporting inclined surface 111 into an inclined surface can prevent liquid splashing during the self-cleaning process of the cleaning member 22 and keep the surrounding environment dry and tidy; it can also improve the structural strength of the side wall surface 1121 of the cleaning tank 112 and improve its aesthetics.

[0047] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0048] In addition, it should be noted that the use of words such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0049] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
