DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] The directional nouns involved in the embodiments of this application, such as "upper", "lower", "side", etc., are generally expressed in the form of Figure 1 The relative relationships shown in the figure are used as a reference, and these directional terms are used only to more clearly describe the relationship between structures, not to describe absolute directions. When the product is placed in different postures, the direction may change, for example, "up" and "down" may be interchangeable.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the examples of this application have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Some technical terms that appear in the examples of this application are explained below.

[0035] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Sweeping and mopping robots (or sweepers) are the most important products in the field of cleaning equipment. They can automatically clean the floors of homes, including sweeping, dust removal and mopping, greatly freeing up users' hands and time.

[0037] Some traditional sweepers have built-in small water tanks that continuously pump water to rehydrate the mop during mopping. Others simply retain water in the mop itself. After cleaning a predetermined area, the robot returns to the base station, rewets the mop, and continues mopping. The former approach is costly and technically complex, while the latter requires the mop to frequently return to the base station for cleaning and refilling, impacting the robot's efficiency and user experience.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a rag tray, which includes a shell 1, a water absorbent member 2 and a rag 3.

[0039] The housing 1 has an inner cavity 13 , and a through hole 121 communicating with the inner cavity 13 is formed on a lower surface 14 of the housing 1 , wherein the lower surface 14 is the surface of the housing 1 facing the ground when the rag tray is working.

[0040] The water absorbing member 2 is disposed in the inner cavity 13 .

[0041] The rag 3 is mounted on the lower surface 14 , and the orthographic projection of the rag 3 on the lower surface 14 covers the through hole 121 .

[0042] For example, the rag disc is used in cleaning equipment such as a sweeper, which includes a body that is connected to the rag disc by a driving device in the body. The rag disc can rotate around its own central axis under the drive of a driving device in the body to improve the wiping and cleaning effect of the surface to be cleaned. Figure 1 As shown, the rag tray further includes a connecting shaft 5 , which is connected to the housing 1 and is coaxial with the housing 1 , and the rag tray is drivingly connected to the machine body via the connecting shaft 5 .

[0043] The shape of the housing 1 may be circular, diamond-shaped, or other polygonal shapes. The embodiment of the present application is described by taking the circular shape of the housing 1 as an example.

[0044] Specifically, the lower surface 14 is provided with one or more through holes 121 , and the shape of the through hole 121 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the through hole 121 can be circular, elliptical, polygonal, arc-shaped or other irregular shapes, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0045] For example, the through hole 121 passes through the lower surface 14 to allow the water absorbent member 2 to contact the rag 3. The water absorbent member 2 is made of a material that can absorb, store and drain water. After the rag 3 is wetted, the water absorbent member 2 can absorb water through the rag 3 and store water.

[0046] Exemplarily, the cleaning equipment also includes a base station, in which water storage components such as a water tray, a water pool, and a water tank are provided. The rag tray can clean the rag 3 in the base station. During the self-cleaning process of the rag 3, the rag 3 is immersed in water, and the water-absorbing component 2 stores water until it is saturated.

[0047] During the mopping process, the water absorbing member 2 continuously replenishes water to the rag 3 under the action of gravity and / or centrifugal force, so that the rag 3 remains moist, thereby increasing the cleaning area per time and reducing the frequency of the rag returning to the base station for cleaning and replenishing water.

[0048] It is understandable that, driven by the driving device in the body, the rag plate rotates around its own central axis, so that the water absorbing member 2 generates centrifugal force, which facilitates the water to be thrown onto the rag 3 during the rotation process to wet the rag 3.

[0049] The rag tray provided in the embodiment of the present application arranges the water-absorbing member 2 in the inner cavity 13 and opens a through hole 121 on the lower surface 14. When the rag 3 is washed with water, the rag 3 is immersed in water, and the water-absorbing member 2 can absorb water through the rag 3 or the through hole 121 and store it, thereby increasing the water storage capacity of the rag tray; during the mopping process of the cleaning device, as the moisture on the rag 3 disappears, the water in the water-absorbing member 2 continues to moisten the rag 3 under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, replenishing the rag 3 with water, thereby increasing the mopping time, increasing the single cleaning area of ​​the cleaning device, helping to improve the working efficiency of the cleaning device, and improving the user experience.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, a protrusion 21 is provided on one side of the water absorbing member 2 close to the lower surface 14 , and the protrusion 21 is inserted into the through hole 121 .

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the shape and number of the protrusions 21 are respectively adapted to the shape and number of the through holes 121 , and the protrusions 21 can be in contact with the rag 3 .

[0052] By providing the protrusions 21 , the contact area between the water absorbing member 2 and the rag 3 is increased, which is beneficial for the water absorbing member 2 to quickly absorb and drain water, thereby improving the water replenishment efficiency of the rag 3 .

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the rag 3 is detachably connected to the lower surface 14. For example, the rag 3 is connected to the lower surface 14 by threaded fasteners, adhesive tape, buckles, etc.

[0054] In this embodiment, by arranging the rag 3 to be detachably connected to the lower surface 14, it is convenient to remove the rag 3 from the lower surface 14 after mopping the floor, so that the rag 3 can be cleaned or replaced, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the rag tray.

[0055] In a further embodiment, the rag 3 is attached to the lower surface 14 .

[0056] Exemplarily, the rag 3 and the lower surface 14 are bonded together by self-adhesive tape, traceless tape, or the like.

[0057] In this embodiment, by arranging the rag 3 to be connected to the lower surface 14 in an adhesive manner, the rag 3 can be quickly connected to or separated from the lower surface 14, thereby improving the efficiency of assembling and disassembling the rag 3.

[0058] Furthermore, the rag tray further comprises a Velcro 4 , and the rag 3 and the lower surface 14 are connected via the Velcro 4 .

[0059] Exemplarily, the Velcro 4 includes a fleece side and a hook side. One of the rag 3 and the lower surface 14 is provided with the fleece side, and the other is provided with the hook side. By cooperating with the fleece side and the hook side, the rag 3 can be attached to the lower surface 14. When the rag 3 needs to be removed, the fleece side and the hook side can be separated.

[0060] In this embodiment, the rag 3 and the lower surface 14 are connected by Velcro 4, which is not only convenient to use, highly firm, durable, and low-cost, but also reusable without causing damage to the lower surface 14 and the rag 3.

[0061] Optionally, there are multiple Velcro strips 4, and at least some of the Velcro strips 4 are circumferentially spaced around the central axis of the lower surface 14.

[0062] Exemplarily, at least a portion of the hook and loop fasteners 4 are arranged on the lower surface 14 to form a plurality of concentrically arranged ring-like shapes.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, there are eight Velcro strips 4, four of which are spaced apart from each other to form a smaller quasi-circular ring, and the other four Velcro strips 4 are spaced apart from each other to form a larger quasi-circular ring, and each Velcro strip 4 is arc-shaped.

[0064] Furthermore, the Velcro strips 4 in two adjacent ring-like shapes are staggered, for example Figure 2 As shown, each Velcro 4 of the inner circle is located between two Velcros 4 of the outer circle.

[0065] This arrangement improves the connection stability and uniformity between the rag 3 and the lower surface 14 .

[0066] In another embodiment, one of the rag 3 and the second shell 12 is provided with a fastener (not shown in the figure), and the other is provided with a slot (not shown in the figure), and the fastener is detachably inserted into the slot.

[0067] Specifically, the slot member is provided with a groove, and the fastener is connected to the slot member by being inserted into the groove. When the rag 3 and the lower surface 14 need to be separated, the fastener is simply pulled out of the groove.

[0068] In this embodiment, the rag 3 and the lower surface 14 are detachably connected by means of snap fasteners and slots, without the need for other components such as bolts, nuts and self-tapping bolts, which is beneficial to reducing component costs and simplifies operation.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, the water-absorbing member 2 includes one or more of sponge, kapok, felt, and cotton products.

[0070] In this embodiment, the water-absorbing member 2 is configured to include one or more of sponge, kapok, felt, and cotton products, so that the water-absorbing member 2 can easily absorb, store, and drain water, thereby conveniently replenishing moisture for the rag 3.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, there are a plurality of through holes 121 , and at least some of the through holes 121 are spaced apart and distributed around the central axis of the housing 1 .

[0072] Please refer to Figure 2 The plurality of through holes 121 are roughly arranged in three concentric rings on the housing 1 , and each through hole 121 is arc-shaped.

[0073] In this embodiment, by arranging at least some of the through holes 121 to be spaced apart around the central axis of the housing 1, the water absorbent member 2 can fully and evenly absorb and drain water, thereby improving the water storage speed of the water absorbent member 2 and the water replenishment speed of the water absorbent member 2 to the rag 3.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, the housing 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 that are coupled together. The space enclosed by the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 constitutes an inner cavity 13 , and the second shell 12 is provided with a through hole 121 .

[0075] Exemplarily, the first shell 11 is covered on the second shell 12 , and the connecting shaft 5 is connected to the first shell 11 .

[0076] In a specific embodiment, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are detachably connected.

[0077] Exemplarily, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are detachably connected by means of threaded connection, snap connection, mortise and tenon connection, adhesive bonding, etc. For example, one of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 is provided with an internal thread, and the other is provided with an external thread, and the detachable connection between the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 is achieved by the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread.

[0078] In this embodiment, by arranging the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 to be detachably connected, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the water absorbing member 2 in the installation space, and it is helpful to remove the water absorbing member 2 so as to clean or replace the water absorbing member 2.

[0079] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a protrusion 111 is convexly provided on one side of the first shell 11 close to the second shell 12 , and a limiting groove 22 is concavely provided on one side of the water absorbing member 2 , and the protrusion 111 is inserted into the limiting groove 22 .

[0080] Figure 4 The structure of the first housing 11 near the second housing 12 is shown. Figure 4 The protrusion 111 protrudes outward relative to the top wall of the first shell 11.

[0081] Figure 5 The structure of the water absorbing member 2 near the first shell 11 is shown. Figure 5 The shape of the limiting groove 22 is the same as that of the protrusion 111. By inserting the protrusion 111 into the limiting groove 22, the water absorbing member 2 is connected to the first shell 11, thereby improving the limiting effect of the water absorbing member 2.

[0082] An embodiment of the present application also provides a cleaning device, which includes the rag tray provided by any of the above embodiments.

[0083] Exemplarily, the cleaning equipment includes a sweeping robot, an automatic floor scrubber, a window cleaning robot, and the like.

[0084] Furthermore, the cleaning device also includes a body, which is drive-connected to the rag disk, and the rag disk is configured to be able to rotate around its own central axis.

[0085] Specifically, driven by the driving device in the body, the rag disc can rotate around its own central axis to improve the wiping and cleaning effect of the surface to be cleaned. Figure 1 As shown, the rag tray further includes a connecting shaft 5, which is connected to and coaxial with the housing 1. The rag tray is drivably connected to the housing via the connecting shaft 5. Driven by a drive device within the housing, the rag tray rotates around its central axis, thereby generating centrifugal force in the water absorbent element 2, which facilitates the removal of water from the rag 3 during rotation, thereby wetting the rag 3.
