[0002] With social progress and technological development, people have higher and higher requirements for their work and living environment. Cleaning equipment such as cleaning robots for floor cleaning are being used more and more widely in people's lives. Cleaning robots can automatically clean the floor, reduce people's burden, and improve people's living environment.

[0003] As people's demands for cleaning robots increase, cleaning robots with real-time mop cleaning capabilities have emerged, collecting the wastewater generated during mop cleaning into a wastewater tank. However, when users attempt to remove the wastewater tank, they need to first open the top decorative cover of the cleaning robot and then use the handle on the wastewater tank to remove it from the bottom up. This makes the disassembly and assembly of the wastewater tank rather complicated, causing inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cleaning device to address the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of sewage tanks.

[0005] A cleaning device, comprising:

[0008] A pop-out mechanism is installed on the main body and located on one side of the water tank. The pop-out mechanism can switch between a first state and a second state under the action of external force.

[0009] When the pop-out mechanism is in the first state, the pop-out mechanism is engaged with the water tank so that the water tank is in a locked state that is fixed relative to the main body;

[0010] When the ejection mechanism is in the second state, the ejection mechanism disengages from the water tank, so that the water tank is in an unlocked state that can be detached from the main body.

[0011] In one embodiment, the water tank has a locking groove on the side facing the ejection mechanism;

[0012] When the pop-out mechanism is in the first state, the pop-out mechanism is inserted into the locking slot;

[0016] A button, mounted on the bracket, is movable under external force to move closer to or further away from the water tank; and

[0017] A pin is mounted on the bracket and driven to the button, and the pin can move under the drive of the button to insert into or disengage from the locking slot;

[0018] When the pop-up mechanism is in the first state, the button is close to the water tank and the pin is disengaged from the locking groove;

[0019] When the pop-up mechanism is in the second state, the button is away from the water tank, and the pin can be inserted into the locking slot.

[0020] In one embodiment, the pop-out mechanism further includes a transmission component rotatably mounted on the bracket, and the button and the pin are connected via the transmission component.

[0025] The rotation center of the transmission component body is located between the supporting part and the buckle part.

[0026] In one embodiment, the pop-out mechanism further includes a first reset member disposed between the bracket and the button, the first reset member being capable of generating a recoverable deformation to apply a force to the button to move it away from the water tank.

[0027] In one embodiment, the ejection mechanism further includes a second reset member disposed between the bracket and the pin, the second reset member being capable of generating a recoverable deformation to apply a force to the pin to bring it closer to the locking groove.

[0028] In one embodiment, the cleaning device further includes a pushing component located on one side of the water tank;

[0029] When the water tank is in the unlocked state, the pushing component is used to push the water tank out of the main body.

[0030] In one embodiment, the pushing component includes:

[0031] Elastic elements are installed on the main body; and

[0032] A pusher is connected to the elastic member and abuts against the main body;

[0048] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0050] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0051] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0053] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0054] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a cleaning device 100, including a main body 10, a walking mechanism (not shown), cleaning components (not shown), and a water tank 30. The following description uses a sweeper as an example to illustrate the structure of the main body 10, water tank 30, etc. This embodiment is only used as an example and does not limit the technical scope of this application. It is understood that in other embodiments, the cleaning device 100 may also be other appliances equipped with a water tank 30, such as a mop, etc., and is not limited here.

[0055] The main body 10 has a shell structure, and a walking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the main body 10 to move the main body 10 on the ground or other working surfaces. A cleaning component is installed on the main body 10 for cleaning the ground and can self-clean during operation. A water tank 30 is detachably installed on the main body 10 and located on one side of the cleaning component to collect wastewater generated by the cleaning component during self-cleaning.

[0056] Furthermore, in order to enable quick disassembly and assembly of the water tank 30, the cleaning equipment 100 also includes a pop-out mechanism 50, which the operator can press to disassemble the water tank 30.

[0057] Specifically, the pop-out mechanism 50 is installed on the main body 10 and located on one side of the water tank 30. The pop-out mechanism 50 can switch between a first state and a second state under the action of external force. When the pop-out mechanism 50 is in the first state, it engages with the water tank 30, so that the water tank 30 is in a locked state fixed relative to the main body 10, thereby preventing the water tank 30 from detaching from the main body 10 so that the cleaning equipment 100 can work normally. When the pop-out mechanism 50 is in the second state, it disengages from the water tank 30, so that the water tank 30 is in an unlocked state that allows it to be detached from the main body 10, thereby facilitating the operator to remove the water tank 30 from the main body 10.

[0058] Thus, the water tank 30 can be locked and unlocked simply by changing the state of the pop-up mechanism 50, which greatly facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the water tank 30, simplifies the operation of the cleaning equipment 100, effectively improves the user experience of the cleaning equipment 100, and further reduces people's housework burden.

[0059] Furthermore, in this application, the main body 10 provides a certain lifting space for the cleaning component, which can be raised and lowered as needed. Therefore, when the cleaning device 100 encounters items that cannot be wetted, such as carpets, during the cleaning process, the cleaning component can be raised to prevent the carpet from getting wet. Thus, to avoid occupying the lifting space of the cleaning component, in this application, the cleaning component is located in front of the water tank 30 in the forward direction of the cleaning device 100, and the pop-up mechanism 50 is located above the water tank 30 and at the top of the cleaning device 100 in the direction of gravity. Therefore, the pop-up mechanism 50 does not occupy the lifting space of the cleaning component.

[0060] In existing technologies, since water tanks are typically located inside cleaning equipment, the water tank cannot be directly viewed when the operator attempts to observe the water level due to obstruction by the top decorative cover. Therefore, the cover must be opened to remove the water tank for observation. In this application, as a preferred embodiment, the water tank 30 is located at the rear of the main body 10, thereby allowing the operator to directly observe the water level in the water tank 30 without removing it.

[0061] In the following embodiments, the direction parallel to the forward direction of the cleaning device 100 is defined as the first direction (i.e., Figure 3 The X direction in the middle), the height direction of the cleaning equipment 100 is the second direction (i.e., Figure 3 (in the Z direction), the width direction of the cleaning equipment 100 is the third direction (i.e. Figure 2 The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other in the Y direction. In a preferred embodiment, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Thus, the cleaning component is located on one side of the water tank 30 in the first direction, and the ejection mechanism 50 is located above the water tank 30 in the second direction.

[0062] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the water tank 30 has a hollow shell structure. The water tank 30 is inserted into the main body 10 along the first direction. The water tank 30 has a locking groove 32 on the side near the pop-up mechanism 50 in the second direction. The locking groove 32 is located on the side of the water tank 30 near the cleaning component in the first direction. The locking groove 32 extends longitudinally along the third direction.

[0063] Thus, the main body 10 itself can limit the movement of the water tank 30 in the second and third directions, while the ejection mechanism 50 is used to restrict the movement of the water tank 30 in the first direction. Specifically, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the ejection mechanism 50 is in the first state, the ejection mechanism 50 is inserted into the locking groove 32, thereby restricting the movement of the water tank 30 in the first direction to prevent the water tank 30 from detaching from the main body 10. Figure 5 As shown, when the pop-out mechanism 50 is in the second state, the pop-out mechanism 50 disengages from the locking groove 32, so the water tank 30 can move in the first direction away from the cleaning component to detach from the main body 10.

[0064] Please combine Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the pop-out mechanism 50 includes a bracket 51, a button 52, a pin 53, and a transmission component 54 that are connected to each other. The bracket 51 is fixedly installed on the main body 10. The button 52, pin 53, and transmission component 54 are respectively installed on the bracket 51. The button 52 and the pin 53 are connected by transmission component 54. The button 52 can move under the action of external force to move closer to or away from the water tank 30. The pin 53 can move under the drive of the button 52 through the transmission component 54 to insert into or disengage from the locking groove 32.

[0065] When the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the first state, the button 52 is close to the water tank 30, and the pin 53 is disengaged from the locking groove 32 by the transmission component 54 driven by the button 52. When the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the second state, the button 52 is away from the water tank 30, and the pin 53 can be inserted into the locking groove 32.

[0066] In some embodiments, the pop-out mechanism 50 further includes a first reset member 55 and a second reset member 56. The first reset member 55 is disposed between the bracket 51 and the button 52, and the first reset member 55 is capable of undergoing recoverable deformation to apply a force to the button 52 to move it away from the water tank 30. The second reset member 56 is disposed between the bracket 51 and the pin 53, and the second reset member 56 is capable of undergoing recoverable deformation to apply a force to the pin 53 to move it closer to the locking groove 32.

[0067] Please continue reading. Figures 3 to 6 The bracket 51 includes an integrally formed first mounting part 512, a second mounting part 514 and a third mounting part 516. The first mounting part 512, the third mounting part 516 and the second mounting part 514 are arranged at intervals in a first direction. The first mounting part 512 is located on the side of the third mounting part 516 away from the cleaning component, and the second mounting part 514 is located on the side of the third mounting part 516 close to the cleaning component.

[0068] Thus, button 52 is movably mounted on first mounting part 512 along the second direction, pin 53 is movably mounted on second mounting part 514 along the second direction, and transmission member 54 is rotatably mounted on third mounting part 516. The movement of pin 53 along the second direction can drive button 52 to move along the second direction through transmission member 54.

[0069] The first mounting portion 512 has two protrusions 5121 and a first mounting post 5123. The two protrusions 5121 are disposed on opposite end faces of the first mounting portion 512 in the third direction, and are used to limit the movement of the button 52 in the second direction. The first mounting post 5123 is located between the two protrusions 5121 in the third direction, and extends vertically along the second direction, and is used to limit the first reset member 55.

[0070] The button 52 includes a button body 521, a pressing part 523, and two button latches 525. The pressing part 523 is connected to the end of the button body 521 away from the water tank 30 in the second direction. The pressing part 523 is exposed outside the main body 10, and the operator can apply pressure to the button 52 by pressing the pressing part 523. The two button latches 525 are located at the end of the button body 521 away from the pressing part 523 in the second direction, and the two button latches 525 are spaced apart in the third direction. The button latches 525 can cooperate with the first mounting part 512 to restrict the movement of the button 52. The button body 521 also has a button limiting groove 521a on each of its opposite sides in the third direction. The button 52 is engaged with the transmission member 54 through the button limiting groove 521a.

[0071] Thus, the main body of button 52 is movably mounted on the first mounting portion 512 along the second direction, and the pressing portion 523 is supported on the first mounting portion 512 along the second direction. The operator can apply pressure to the pressing portion 523 to drive button 52 to move along the second direction. The two button latches 525 of button 52 are correspondingly provided with the two protrusions 5121 of the first mounting portion 5122. The protrusions 5121 can abut against the button latches 525 of button 52 in the second direction to prevent button 52 from disengaging from the first mounting portion 512 in a direction away from water tank 30.

[0072] The first reset member 55 is sleeved on the first mounting post 5123, and one end of the first reset member 55 in the second direction abuts against the pressing part 523 of the button 52. The first reset member 55 is used to apply a force away from the water tank 30 to the button 52, so that the button 52 tends to move away from the water tank 30. When the operator presses the pressing part 523 downward in the second direction, the first reset member 55 is compressed under the force applied by the operator, and the button 52 moves towards the water tank 30 in the second direction. When the operator releases the pressing part 523, the first reset member 55 returns to its initial state, and the button 52 moves away from the water tank 30 in the second direction until the button latch 525 of the button 52 abuts against the protrusion 5121 of the first mounting part 512, thereby preventing the button 52 from disengaging from the bracket 51.

[0073] The second mounting portion 514 has a receiving groove 514a, two guide grooves 514b, and two limiting grooves 514c. The receiving groove 514a is located at the middle position of the first mounting portion 512 in the third direction and is used to receive the pin 53. The two guide grooves 514b are respectively located on opposite sides of the receiving groove 514a in the third direction, and each guide groove 514b extends along a second direction to cooperate with the pin 53 to guide the movement of the pin 53. Each limiting groove 514c is located on the side of a guide groove 514b away from the receiving groove 514a and is used to cooperate with the pin 53 to limit the movement of the pin 53.

[0074] The pin 53 includes a pin body 531, a second mounting post 532 located on the same side of the pin body 531, a transmission part 533, a guide rod 534, and a pin latch 535. The pin body 531 is an elongated structure extending in a third direction, and can be inserted into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30 in a second direction. The second mounting post 532 is located at the middle position of the pin body 531 in the third direction, and extends in the second direction for mounting the second reset member 56. The two transmission parts 533 are located on both sides of the second mounting post 532 in the third direction, and each transmission part 533 is a hollow "inverted U" shaped structure to form a pin latch groove 533a. The transmission part 533 can extend into the receiving groove 514a of the second mounting part 514 and engage with the transmission member 54 through the pin latch groove 533a. Each guide rod 534 is located on the side of a transmission part 533 in a third-direction upward direction away from the second mounting post 532, and the guide rod 534 extends in a second direction for engaging with the guide groove 514b of the second mounting part 514. Each pin latch 535 is located on the side of a guide rod 534 in a third-direction upward direction away from the transmission part 533 for engaging with the limiting groove 514c of the second mounting part 514.

[0075] Thus, the pin 53 is installed from bottom to top in the second mounting portion 514 of the bracket 51 along the second direction, and the two transmission portions 533 extend into the receiving groove 514a of the second mounting portion 514 along the second direction. Two guide rods 534 are respectively inserted into the guide groove 514b along the second direction, and the two guide rods 534 can reciprocate within the guide groove 514b along the second direction. The guide groove 514b serves to guide and limit the movement of the pin 53 along the second direction. Two pin latches 535 pass through the limiting groove 514c along the second direction and abut against the second mounting portion 514 in the second direction to prevent the pin 53 from disengaging from the bracket 51 in the second direction.

[0076] The second reset member 56 is sleeved on the second mounting post 532, with one end of the second reset member 56 extending into the receiving groove 514a and confined to the groove wall of the receiving groove 514a. The second reset member 56 can apply a force to the pin 53, causing it to move toward the water tank 30 in a second direction, thereby inserting the pin body 531 into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30.

[0077] The third mounting section 516 includes two support arms 5161, which are spaced apart in the third direction.

[0078] The transmission component 54 includes a transmission component body 541, spring arms 543, abutment portions 545, and latching portions 547. Two spring arms 543 are connected to opposite sides of the transmission component body 541 in a third direction, and are rotatably connected to the support arm 5161 of the third mounting portion 516. Two abutment portions 545 are connected to the end of the transmission component body 541 near the first mounting portion 512 in a first direction, and are spaced apart in a third direction. Two latching portions 547 are connected to the end of the transmission component body 541 near the second mounting portion 514 in a first direction, and are spaced apart in a third direction.

[0079] Thus, the transmission body 541 is located between the two support arms 5161 of the third mounting part 516, and the two spring arms 543 are rotatably inserted into the two support arms 5161 of the third mounting part 516. The rotation center of the transmission body 541 is located between the abutting part 545 and the latching part 547. The two abutting parts 545 are respectively limited in the two button limiting grooves 521a of the button 52, and the two latching parts 547 are respectively inserted into the pin slots 533a of the pin 53 along the first direction. When the button 52 moves towards the water tank 30 along the second direction under the action of external force, the transmission part 54 rotates around the connection between the spring arm 543 and the support arm 5161 as the rotation center under the drive of the button 52, thereby driving the pin 53 to move away from the water tank 30 along the second direction.

[0080] Please combine Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a pushing component 70 located on one side of the water tank 30. The pushing component 70 is used to apply a force to the water tank 30 in a second direction away from the cleaning component. When the water tank 30 is in the unlocked state, the pushing component 70 pushes a portion of the water tank 30 to move in the second direction away from the cleaning component to extend it out of the main body 10, thereby facilitating the operator to remove the water tank 30 from the main body 10.

[0081] Specifically, in some embodiments, the pushing assembly 70 includes a pushing member 74 and an elastic member 72. The water tank 30 has a mounting groove 34 on the side facing the cleaning assembly in the second direction. One end of the pushing member 74 is movably mounted in the mounting groove 34 along the second direction, and the other end of the pushing member 74 extends out of the mounting groove 34 to abut against the main body 10. One end of the elastic member 72 is confined within the mounting groove 34, and the other end of the elastic member 72 is confined within the pushing member 74. The elastic member 72 is capable of generating recoverable deformation to apply a force to the water tank 30, causing it to partially extend out of the main body 10. Furthermore, the pushing member 74 is also provided with a latch for abutting against the groove wall of the mounting groove 34 in the first direction to prevent the pushing member 74 from detaching from the water tank 30 under the action of the elastic member 72.

[0082] In some embodiments, the end of the pin body 531 of the pin 53 that extends into the locking groove 32 is provided with a first mating surface 531a that extends obliquely relative to the first direction, and the side of the locking groove 32 facing the cleaning component is provided with a second mating surface 36 that extends obliquely relative to the first direction, and the first mating surface 531a and the second mating surface 36 are engaged with each other at an angle.

[0083] Thus, when the water tank 30 is installed, the operator can push the water tank 30 toward the direction of the cleaning component in the first direction. Since the water tank 30 and the pin body 531 are engaged by the first mating surface 531a and the inclined surface of the second mating surface 36, the movement of the water tank 30 in the first direction can be converted into the movement of the pin body 531 in the second direction, thereby pushing the pin body 531 to move upward along the second mating surface 36 until it reaches the edge of the locking groove 32. Then, the pin body 531 is inserted into the locking groove 32 under the push of the second reset member 56 to lock the water tank 30.

[0084] The disassembly principle of the aforementioned water tank 30 is as follows;

[0085] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, when the water tank 30 is normally installed on the main body 10, the pop-up mechanism 50 is in the first state. Under the support of the second reset member 56, the pin 53 of the pop-up mechanism 50 is inserted into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30. Therefore, the water tank 30 cannot detach from the main body 10 in the second direction and remains in a locked state. At this time, the button 52 of the pop-up mechanism 50 is also in a position away from the water tank 30 under the support of the first reset member 55.

[0086] like Figure 5As shown, when the water tank 30 is disassembled, the operator presses the button 52 of the pop-out mechanism 50 downward in the second direction. The pop-out mechanism 50 switches from the first state to the second state. The first reset member 55 is compressed under pressure, allowing the button 52 to move toward the water tank 30, thereby driving the bracket 51 to rotate, and then driving the pin 53 to move upward in the second direction, so that the body of the pin 53 leaves the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30. At this time, the second reset member 56 is in a compressed state.

[0087] After the pin 53 leaves the locking slot 32, the elastic element 72 of the push assembly 70 switches from the compressed state to the extended state, thereby pushing the water tank 30 to move away from the cleaning assembly in the second direction and extend out of the main body 10. At this time, the operator can remove the water tank 30 from the main body 10.

[0088] When the water tank 30 extends out of the main body 10 under the push of the push component 70, the force applied by the operator to the button 52 disappears, the first reset component 55 drives the button 52 to return to the initial position, and the pin 53 also returns to the initial position under the drive of the second reset component 56.

[0089] When installing the water tank 30, the operator inserts the water tank 30 into the main body 10 in the first direction. The second mating surface 36 of the water tank 30 abuts against the first mating surface 531a of the pin 53, and the pin 53 moves upward in the second direction under the support of the water tank 30. After the water tank 30 is completely inside the main body 10, the pin 53, no longer supported by the first mating surface 531a, is pushed into the locking groove 32 of the water tank 30 by the second reset member 56 to relock the water tank 30.

[0090] The aforementioned cleaning device 100, through the pop-out mechanism 50, enables the quick assembly and disassembly of the water tank 30, facilitating the use of the cleaning device 100. Furthermore, the pop-out mechanism 50 does not occupy the lifting space of the cleaning components, thus meeting the installation requirements of the cleaning components. In addition, since the water tank 30 is located at the rear of the main body 10 and is exposed to the external environment, the user can check the water level in the water tank 30 at any time.

[0091] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0092] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
