Also, it is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing the particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. All such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present application.

[0030] As described in the background, in order to enable the mop assembly to clean the edge of the ground, table top or furniture, the prior art cleaning device usually needs to drive the mop assembly to expand outwardly beyond the outer edge of the main machine to work, and such a structure needs to be equipped with a motor and other driving mechanism, which is high in energy consumption and production cost. Therefore, the present application provides a novel mop assembly and cleaning device, which is simple in structure, convenient to clean the edge of the ground, table top or furniture, and does not need to cooperate with a driving mechanism for driving the mop assembly to expand outwardly beyond the main machine of the cleaning device, thereby reducing the energy consumption and production cost of the cleaning device. The mop assembly and cleaning device of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to the embodiment of the present application, a cleaning device 100 is provided, which can be a sweeping machine, a mopping machine and a base station having the sweeping machine and the mopping machine, etc. As shown, the cleaning device 100 in the embodiment includes a main machine 20 and a mop assembly 10, wherein the mop assembly 10 is installed at the bottom of the main machine 20. In actual work, the bottom of the main machine 20 is provided with moving parts such as moving wheels, and by controlling the moving parts, the main machine 20 and the mop assembly 10 installed at the bottom of the main machine 20 can be moved in space, thereby cleaning the ground, table top, etc. Figure 1

[0032] Referring to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in the embodiment, the mop assembly 10 includes a support body 11 and a mop body 12. The support body 11 is at least used to be installed at the bottom of the main machine 20 of the cleaning device 100, and the outer edge of the support body 11 is provided with an outward protruding portion 111, which protrudes outwardly beyond the outer edge of the main machine 20 when the cleaning device 100 is in a natural state. The mop body 12 is laid on the bottom surface of the support body 11 and the bottom surface of the outward protruding portion 111.

[0033] It can be understood that the natural state of the cleaning device 100 in the embodiment means that the cleaning device 100 is placed horizontally on the ground, and only subjected to its own gravity, and each structure on the cleaning device 100 is not subjected to the force applied by other external objects.

[0034] ​In the present application, since the outer edge of the support body 11 of the mop assembly 10 is provided with a protruding portion 111, and after the mop assembly 10 is installed on the cleaning device 100, the protruding portion 111 protrudes from the outer edge of the main body 20 when the cleaning device 100 is in a natural state, that is, the protruding portion 111 normally protrudes from the outer edge of the main body 20. In this way, when the cleaning device 100 moves in a space to perform cleaning operations, the protruding portion 111 is more likely to approach the edge of the ground, table top, or furniture. At the same time, since the mop body 12 in this embodiment is laid on the bottom surface of the support body 11 and the protruding portion 111, when the protruding portion 111 moves along the edge of the ground, table top, or furniture, it can clean the edge of the ground, table top, or furniture.

[0035] Compared with the cleaning devices in the prior art, the mop assembly 10 of the present application is provided with an outward protrusion 111. After the mop assembly 10 is installed on the main unit 20, the outward protrusion 111 normally protrudes from the outer edge of the main unit 20. When the cleaning device 100 is working, the outward protrusion 111 can cooperate with the mop body 12 to clean the edges of the floor, tabletop or furniture, etc. The cleaning device does not need to be specially equipped with a dedicated driving mechanism to drive the mop assembly 10 to expand outward, which can reduce the energy consumption and production cost of the cleaning device 100.

[0036] Furthermore, along the thickness direction of the support body 11, the projection of the support body 11 includes a convex arc edge 102 and a straight edge 101. The ends of the convex arc edge 102 are respectively connected to the ends of the straight edge 101, and the convex arc edge 102 protrudes in a direction away from the straight edge 101. At least one of the end of the straight edge 101 and the convex arc edge 102 is provided with a protrusion 111. When the mop assembly 10 of this embodiment is installed on the main unit 20, the straight edge 101 of the support body 11 is located on the inner side of the main unit 20, and the convex arc edge 102 corresponds to the outer side of the main unit 20. In this embodiment, by providing the protrusion 111 at at least one of the end of the straight edge 101 and the convex arc edge 102 of the support body 11, when the mop assembly 10 is installed on the main unit 20, the protrusion 111 protrudes beyond the outer edge of the main unit 20, facilitating edge cleaning of floors, countertops, furniture, etc.

[0037] It is understood that the provision of the convex portion 111 at at least one of the end of the straight edge 101 and the convex arc edge 102 means that the convex portion 111 can be provided at both ends or one end of the straight edge 101 and any position of the convex arc edge 102, and the convex portion 111 can be one, two or more. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the drawings of the present application show that there is only one outer convex portion 111 , and it is arranged at the junction of the straight edge 101 and the convex arc edge 102 .

[0038] For example, the outer peripheral side surface of the outer protrusion 111 in the present application includes an arcuate surface 1111. With this configuration, when the outer protrusion 111 moves in space, the outer peripheral side surface of the outer protrusion 111 will not have sharp edges, and the outer protrusion 111 will not scratch or wear walls or furniture. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the outer peripheral side surface of the outer protrusion 111 can also be a plane or other regular or irregular shaped surface. As long as other deformation methods are based on the concept of the present application, they are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] To further prevent the protrusion 111 from scratching or damaging indoor walls or furniture, in this embodiment, the outer edge of the protrusion 111 is provided with an elastic portion 112. The elastic portion 112 acts to transform the contact between the protrusion 111 and the wall or furniture into an elastic contact. In this way, when the cleaning device 100 moves close to the wall or furniture, even if the protrusion 111 collides with the wall or furniture, it is unlikely to cause damage to the wall or furniture.

[0040] Optionally, the elastic portion 112 in the present application comprises a silicone strip or a rubber strip extending along the outer edge of the protruding portion 111. The silicone strip or the rubber strip has good elasticity, is low-cost, and is easy to install. While ensuring that the elastic portion 112 has good elasticity, it can further reduce the manufacturing cost of the mop assembly 10. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the elastic portion 112 can also be a columnar structure supported by other elastic composite materials, etc. As long as it is other variations based on the concept of the present application, it is within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] Recombination Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the elastic portion 112 in this embodiment is provided with a hollow portion 113. The provision of the hollow portion 113 can further improve the deformation ability of the elastic portion 112, thereby being able to effectively protect the wall surface and indoor furniture. For example, the hollow portion 113 in this embodiment can be a through hole provided in the thickness direction of the elastic portion 112 or not. The cross section of the through hole can be circular, elliptical, triangular, square or other regular or irregular shapes. The drawings of this application show the case where the cross section of the through hole is triangular. The through hole can be one or more. The drawings of this application show the case where there are multiple through holes. As long as it is other deformation methods based on the concept of this application, they are all within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] Further, the elastic part 112 in the embodiment is detachably connected to the outer convex part 111 through the locking part 114. In the embodiment, the locking part 114 can be a screw, a pin, a buckle or an adhesive layer, or other deformation modes that can lock the elastic part 112 on the outer convex part 111, which are within the protection scope of the application. In the embodiment, the elastic part 112 is detachably connected to the outer convex part 111, which facilitates replacement when the elastic part 112 is damaged or deteriorated.

[0043] Further, the support main body 11 in the embodiment includes a support bottom plate 103 and a fixing plate 104. The mop main body 12 is laid on the bottom surface of the support bottom plate 103. The fixing plate 104 is fixed to the top surface of the support bottom plate 103 and defines an installation gap 105 with the support bottom plate 103. The elastic part 112 is detachably connected to the support bottom plate 103, and at least part of the elastic part 112 is located in the installation gap 105. After the elastic part 112 is installed, the elastic part 112 is clamped in the installation gap 105 between the support bottom plate 103 and the fixing plate 104, which not only can effectively position the elastic part 112, but also can ensure the appearance integrity of the mop assembly 10.

[0044] Further, the mop main body 12 in the embodiment is detachably attached to the bottom surface of the support bottom plate 103 through a magic tape. In this way, the mop main body 12 can be easily detached from the support bottom plate 103 for cleaning or replacement. Of course, in other embodiments of the application, the mop main body 12 can also be detachably installed on the support bottom plate 103 through buckling, screwing or other modes, as long as they are other deformation modes under the concept of the application, which are within the protection scope of the application.

[0045] As shown in Figure 6 , the cleaning device 100 in the embodiment further includes a mounting bracket 21 and an elastic element 22. The mounting bracket 21 is movably arranged at the bottom of the main machine 20, that is, the mounting bracket 21 in the embodiment can move relative to the main machine 20. When the mounting bracket 21 moves relative to the main machine 20 (moves along the X direction in Figure 6 , the structures mounted on the mounting bracket 21 can be driven to move. In the application, the mop assembly 10 is connected to the mounting bracket 21, and the elastic element 22 is arranged between the mounting bracket 21 and the main machine 20. The extension direction of the elastic element 22 is consistent with the moving direction of the mounting bracket 21 (the X direction in Figure 6 ). In this way, when the mop assembly 10 (usually the outer convex part 111 of the mop assembly 10) is subjected to external impact, the mop assembly 10 can be retracted under the action of the elastic element 22, which can further prevent the mop assembly 10 from hard collision with indoor walls or furniture, and can further effectively protect the walls or furniture, so as to avoid scratching or wearing the walls or furniture by the mop assembly 10.

[0046] Furthermore, during the operation of the cleaning device 100, when the mop assembly 10 is in the extended state, if the main unit 20 encounters a low space during its movement, the protruding portion 111 can extend into the low space for cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning coverage rate; when the low space is finished and the mop assembly 10 is about to leave the low space, even if the edge of the mop assembly 10 hits the end of the low space, at this time, the elastically retractable mop assembly 10 can smoothly interfere with the end of the low space under the action of the arc-shaped protruding portion 111, and smoothly transition, thereby preventing the main unit 20 from being stuck in the low space, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the operation of the main unit 20; in addition, even if it encounters external obstacles such as the corner of a table, the elastically retractable mop assembly 10 can also achieve a more stable transition under the action of the arc-shaped protruding portion 111, thereby improving the flexibility of the operation of the main unit 20.

[0047] For example, the elastic element 22 in this embodiment includes a spring, an elastic column, an elastic pad, etc. As long as other deformation modes are based on the concept of being very light, they are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0048] According to the above embodiments, it can be known that the structural improvement of the mop assembly 10 of the present application not only facilitates cleaning of the floor, the edge of the table or the edge of furniture, but also facilitates protection of the wall and furniture, and can also reduce the production cost of the cleaning device.

[0049] 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.

[0050] 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.

[0051] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application, and for those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
