[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 A floating mop bracket 100 of this embodiment includes: a fixed bracket module 1, and a mop 2 installed on one end of the fixed bracket module 1 by a Velcro 3.

[0033] In the preferred embodiment, the fixing support module 1 comprises: a support upper cover 11 with a plurality of installation grooves a1 formed in the inward direction, a support lower cover 12 with a limiting post b1 protruding at the position corresponding to each installation groove a1 and being clamped to the lower end of the support upper cover 11, and an elastic component 13 limited by the limiting post b1, penetrating through the support upper cover 11 and partially protruding on the support upper cover 11, being elastically compressed according to the pressure applied on the upper end and applying downward pressure on the support lower cover 12; and the mop 2 is installed on the lower end surface of the support lower cover 12. In the preferred embodiment, a left-right control module 14 is further installed in each installation groove a1. Each left-right control module 14 comprises: a torsion spring c1 sleeved on a limiting post b2 protruding on the support lower cover 12, and a left-right button c2 with a limiting plate c21 and a buckle plate c22 protruding on both sides and penetrating through a limiting groove formed in the installation groove a1. Specifically, the left-right button c2 comprises: a fixed post c20 sleeved on the limiting post b2 and provided on the support lower cover 12, the limiting plate c21 and the buckle plate c22 are W-shapedly protruding on the upper end of the fixed post c20, a protruding stop portion c201 is protruding on the side surface of the fixed post c20, one end of the torsion spring c1 abuts against the protruding stop portion c201 and the other end abuts against the limiting plate c21 to elastically position the left-right button c2. More specifically, the protruding stop portion c201 and the limiting plate c21 apply left-right force on the torsion spring c1, through the relationship of reaction force, the left-right button c2 is limited in the limiting groove corresponding to the installation groove a1, and by applying left-right force on the buckle plate c22, the support lower cover 12 is driven to rotate, and then the product is driven to rotate. It should be noted that the support lower cover 12 is provided with a roller.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment, the two ends of the support upper cover 11 are formed with irregular clamping channels d1, the two ends of the support lower cover 12 are correspondingly matched with clamping fixing posts b3, and at least one clamping channel d1 and the clamping fixing post b3 are matched with a magnetic member e1. Specifically, a first buckle position is protruding on the upper end of each clamping channel d1, the clamping fixing post b3 is clamped into the first buckle position so that the support upper cover 11 and the support lower cover 12 are clamped and fixed, and the magnetic member e1 is installed on at least one clamping channel d1, so that the connection between the support upper cover 11 and the support lower cover 12 of the product is simultaneously matched with clamping and magnetic connection, and the connection between the support lower cover 12 and the support upper cover 11 has movable connection.

[0035] The elastic assembly 13 includes an elastic member 131 with one end engaging with the retaining groove of the retaining column b1, and a spring latch 132 covering the other end of the elastic member 131, partially extending through the retaining column b1, and movably protruding from the upper end surface of the bracket cover 11. The spring latch 132 has a through-hole formed inwardly on the side facing the retaining column b1 for engaging the elastic member 131, and extends outwardly from the side facing the retaining column b1 to form a retaining portion d1 that abuts the bracket cover 11. The elastic member 131 is a spring. After assembly, the spring latch 132 abuts the water tank of the robot vacuum. The spring latch 132 exerts varying gravity on the spring latch 132 depending on the gravity of the water in the tank. The spring latch 132 compresses the elastic member 131. Once compressed to a certain force, the elastic member 131 exerts downward pressure on the bracket cover 12, thereby exerting force on the mop 2. This adapts the robot vacuum to varying floor surface roughness and improves its cleaning performance. It should be further explained that the vertical floating range of the spring buckle 132 of this product is about 3 mm.

[0036] From the above description, it can be seen that the floating mop bracket 100 of the present invention, when in use, presses the spring buckle 132 against the water tank of the sweeping robot, and the weight of the changing water volume in the water tank applies corresponding pressure to the spring buckle 132 to press down the mop 2, so that the mop 2 of this product has a floating effect, and the reasonable structural setting improves the cleaning ability of the product.

[0037] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 4 The present invention also provides a sweeping robot, comprising: a sweeping robot body 01, a water tank 02 installed in the sweeping robot body 01, and also comprising a floating mop bracket 100 as described in the above embodiment; the elastic component 13 protruding from the bracket cover 11 abuts against the water tank 02.

[0038] In the sweeping robot of the present invention, the spring buckle 132 of the elastic component 13 abuts against the water tank 02, and the water tank 02 applies gravity to press the mop 2 downward for cleaning. By using the floating mop bracket 100, the product has the characteristics of uniform force during the mopping operation and good decontamination ability.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
