[0044] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, and the embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary.
[0045] The following is for reference. Figures 1-9The nozzle assembly 100 of the cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention can effectively mitigate the differences in flow rate and velocity of the inlet water path 11 by utilizing the water equalization component 2, thereby ensuring the consistency of flow rate and velocity of multiple outlet water paths 13, and effectively reducing the problems of large water stain residue and uneven water stain distribution on the cleaning surface. Here, the cleaning device can be a handheld vacuum cleaner, canister vacuum cleaner, upright vacuum cleaner, canister vacuum cleaner, etc., with corresponding structures for the nozzle assembly 100, such as floor scrubbers, sweeping and mopping robots, fabric cleaning machines, carpet cleaning machines, etc., as long as it can provide wet cleaning of dust and garbage, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.
[0046] Combination Figures 1-9 As shown, the nozzle assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment according to the first aspect of this utility model includes a nozzle body 1 and a water equalization component 2. When the cleaning equipment performs cleaning work, the nozzle body 1 can wet the cleaning components with clean water (or a cleaning liquid containing detergent; this utility model uses clean water as an example) (for example, during the rotation of the roller brush of a floor scrubber, the nozzle body 1 sprays water to wet the roller brush cloth), and can also spray water onto the surface to be cleaned, thereby effectively removing dirt and dust from the cleaning surface; the water equalization component 2 can mitigate the impact of fluctuations in flow rate and velocity between the inlet water path 11 and the outlet water path 13, thereby improving the uniformity of water flow in the outlet water path 13.
[0047] Specifically, the nozzle body 1 has an inlet water passage 11, a buffer chamber 12 and multiple outlet water passages 13. The buffer chamber 12 is connected between the inlet water passage 11 and the multiple outlet water passages 13. The outlet water passages 13 are used to spray water onto the cleaning components. The water equalization component 2 is disposed in the buffer chamber 12 so that the water entering the buffer chamber 12 flows evenly to the multiple outlet water passages 13 after being buffered by the water equalization component 2.
[0048] Specifically, the nozzle body 1 has an inlet water passage 11, a buffer chamber 12, and multiple outlet water passages 13 connected sequentially along the water outlet direction. The buffer chamber 12 can provide an installation location for the water equalization component 2. After the water in the inlet water passage 11 flows into the buffer chamber 12, the water is buffered by the water equalization component 2 in the buffer chamber 12 and then flows evenly to the multiple outlet water passages 13. In this way, before the water in the inlet water passage 11 enters the outlet water passage 13, the water equalization component 2 can reduce the fluctuations in the flow rate and velocity of the water flowing out of the inlet water passage 11 in advance, so that the water after being buffered by the water equalization component 2 can flow evenly to the multiple outlet water passages 13, thereby ensuring the consistency of the flow rate and velocity of the water flowing out of the outlet water passage 13.
[0049] Moreover, compared to traditional water spray nozzles (which use a water pump to directly deliver water from the clean water tank to the roller brush through a water distribution channel, and the unstable pumping pressure can easily lead to uneven distribution of water stains on the ground and large water stain residue), the embodiment in this case sets up a water equalization component 2 between the water inlet channel 11 and the water outlet channel 13. This can effectively alleviate the impact of fluctuations in the flow rate and flow of water in the water inlet channel 11 caused by unstable pumping pressure, thereby effectively improving the uniformity of water spray in the water outlet channel 13, and thus improving the water stain cleaning effect of the cleaning component.
[0050] Therefore, by setting the nozzle assembly 100, the difference in flow rate and velocity of the inlet water path 11 can be effectively mitigated by the water equalization component 2, thereby ensuring the consistency of flow rate and velocity of multiple outlet water paths 13, thus effectively reducing the problem of large water stain residue and uneven water stain distribution on the cleaning surface, and improving the water stain cleaning effect of the roller brush.
[0051] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the water distribution element 2 is a water-absorbing element 21 with water-absorbing properties. For example, the water-absorbing element 21 can be a sponge, microfiber cloth, or water-absorbing resin, etc., and is not limited to these.
[0052] In detail, the water-absorbing component 21 can quickly absorb the water flowing out of the water inlet channel 11 and store it inside itself. Moreover, the water-absorbing component 21 can evenly distribute the water to its surface through its own capillary action, ensuring that each water outlet channel 13 opposite to the water-absorbing component 21 receives a uniform water flow, thereby improving the uniformity of the water flow in the water outlet channel 13.
[0053] In addition, during the cleaning process of the cleaning component, the water-absorbing component 21 can continuously and evenly release water to the water outlet 13, thereby maintaining the overall wet state of the cleaning component and avoiding the problem of local over-wetting while other areas are dry, thus improving the cleaning uniformity of the cleaning component.
[0054] Specifically, the absorbent component 21 includes absorbent strips, which are typically made of materials with good water absorption properties, such as microfiber cloth, cotton cloth, sponge, etc., but are not limited to these. The absorbent strips ensure the uniform distribution and continuous release of moisture, preventing localized over-wetting while other areas remain dry, thereby improving the uniformity of water flow and reducing water stains. For example, the water-equalizing strip uses a highly absorbent material. Because the absorbent strip has good water absorption and storage capacity, it works in conjunction with the buffer chamber 12 to form a buffer water-equalizing area. Water flowing in the inlet water path 11 flows into the buffer water-equalizing area, and after buffering, flows out evenly to the outlet water path 13, thereby effectively mitigating the differences in flow rate and velocity of water in the inlet water path 11.
[0055] Furthermore, combined Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, at least one side wall of the buffer chamber 12 is provided with a squeezing protrusion 121 protruding towards the water suction member 21. The squeezing protrusion 121 exerts a squeezing effect on the water suction member 21, which ensures that the water suction member 21 and the side wall of the buffer chamber 12 form a tight fit (that is, there is no gap between the water suction member 21 and the side wall of the buffer chamber 12 along the water outlet direction), thereby preventing some of the water in the inlet water channel 11 from flowing directly to the outlet water channel 13 through the gap between the water suction member 21 and the side wall of the buffer chamber 12, thus ensuring the water distribution effect of the water distribution member 2.
[0056] Optionally, the extrusion protrusions 121 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the water-absorbing component 21 and avoid the water inlet passage 11 and the water outlet passage 13. The first inclined surfaces 1211 of the extrusion protrusions 121 on opposite sides of the water-absorbing component 21 are parallel to each other. In this way, an extrusion effect can be formed on both sides of the water-equalizing component 2. Moreover, the first inclined surfaces 1211 of the extrusion protrusions 121 on opposite sides of the water-absorbing component 21 are parallel to each other, which can guide the water flow, thereby achieving the effect of regulating the water distribution in the water-absorbing component 21, avoiding local over-wetting, reducing the generation of water stains, and thus improving cleaning efficiency.
[0057] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the extrusion protrusion 121 has a first inclined surface 1211 on the side facing the water-absorbing member 21, and the water-absorbing member 21 has a second inclined surface corresponding to the first inclined surface 1211.
[0058] It is understandable that the first inclined surface 1211 on the extrusion protrusion 121 and the second inclined surface on the water-absorbing component 21 correspond to each other and cooperate. The first inclined surface 1211 and the second inclined surface extend at an incline, which can guide the water flow to a certain extent, thereby achieving the effect of regulating the water distribution in the water-absorbing component 21, avoiding excessive local wetting, reducing the generation of water stains, and thus improving cleaning efficiency.
[0059] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the buffer chamber 12 is elongated and extends along the length of the nozzle body 1. The water distribution component 2 is elongated and corresponds to the buffer chamber 12. Multiple water outlet channels 13 are spaced apart along the length of the nozzle body 1.
[0060] Specifically, both the buffer chamber 12 and the water distribution component 2 are elongated. This shortens their dimensions in the water outlet direction and allows for the arrangement of more water outlet channels 13 along their length. This achieves the effect of quickly and evenly distributing the water flow in the water outlet channels 13 and increasing the number of water outlet channels 13, thereby improving their practicality and cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the shape of the water distribution component 2 matches that of the buffer chamber 12, thus improving the rationality of their arrangement.
[0061] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of first connecting ports 14 are formed between the water inlet channel 11 and the buffer chamber 12, and the plurality of first connecting ports 14 are spaced apart along the length of the nozzle body 1; more specifically, the plurality of first connecting ports 14 may be evenly spaced or unevenly spaced along the length of the nozzle body 1; a plurality of second connecting ports 15 are formed between the buffer chamber 12 and the water outlet channel 13, and the plurality of second connecting ports 15 are spaced apart along the length of the nozzle body 1; more specifically, the plurality of second connecting ports 15 may be evenly spaced or unevenly spaced along the length of the nozzle body 1.
[0062] Water in the inlet water passage 11 can flow into the buffer chamber 12 through the first connecting port 14, and water in the buffer chamber 12 can flow into the outlet water passage 13 through the second connecting port 15. This ensures that water can flow smoothly from the inlet water passage 11 to the outlet water passage 13. There are multiple first connecting ports 14, which can evenly distribute the water flow in the inlet water passage 11 to each first connecting port 14 and can also adjust the water pressure of each first connecting port 14, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the water flow when flowing into the buffer chamber 12. There are multiple second connecting ports 15, which can evenly distribute the water flow in the buffer chamber 12 to each second connecting port 15 and can also adjust the water pressure of each second connecting port 15, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the water flow when flowing into the outlet water passage 13.
[0063] In addition, multiple first connecting ports 14 and multiple second connecting ports 15 are evenly spaced along the length of the nozzle body 1, which facilitates the formation of multiple water spray positions along the length of the nozzle body 1, thereby ensuring that the sprayed water can evenly wet the cleaning component during its rotation, avoiding local over-wetting or dryness on the cleaning component, and thus improving the uniformity of cleaning.
[0064] Specifically, in combination Figure 5As shown, the number of first connecting ports 14 is less than the number of second connecting ports 15. This arrangement allows for further subdivision of the water within the buffer chamber 12 along the water flow outlet direction, and also allows for adjustment of the water pressure at each second connecting port 15, thereby further improving the uniformity and stability of the water flow into the outlet water path 13. For example, the embodiment in this case may have 4 first connecting ports 14 and 8 second connecting ports 15, but is not limited to this.
[0065] Furthermore, combined Figure 5 As shown, the water inlet path 11 includes a first water inlet path 111 and a plurality of second water inlet paths 112. The plurality of second water inlet paths 112 are all connected to the outlet end of the first water inlet path 111, and each second water inlet path 112 is connected to at least two first connecting ports 14.
[0066] Understandably, along the water outlet direction, the water in the first inlet water passage 111 flows to multiple second inlet water passages 112. The multiple second inlet water passages 112 can distribute the flow rate and water pressure of the water from the first inlet water passage 111, thereby reducing the difference in flow rate and velocity of the water in the first inlet water passage 111 and thus improving the uniformity of the outflow. Each second inlet water passage 112 is connected to at least two first connecting ports 14, which can further subdivide the water flow and thus improve the uniformity of the water flow distribution.
[0067] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figures 1-6 , Figures 8-9 As shown, the nozzle body 1 includes a nozzle cover 16 and a nozzle cover plate 17. The nozzle cover plate 17 is connected to the nozzle cover 16. The nozzle cover plate 17 and the nozzle cover 16 together define the water inlet passage 11, the buffer chamber 12 and the water outlet passage 13.
[0068] The nozzle cover 17 is detachably connected to the nozzle cover 16, which facilitates the individual repair and replacement of any part, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly and reducing the later maintenance cost; it also facilitates the replacement of the internal water distribution component 2, preventing the problem of odor caused by prolonged immersion in water, thereby improving the user experience.
[0069] Optionally, the nozzle cover 17 is fixedly mounted on the nozzle cover 16. In some embodiments, the nozzle cover 17 and the nozzle cover 16 are ultrasonically connected, while in other embodiments, they can be glued together. In this embodiment, the former is preferred. For example, the nozzle cover 16 is provided with a ring of protruding ultrasonic ribs. After the ultrasonic ribs and the nozzle cover 17 are ultrasonically bonded together, they form a firmly connected whole. Combined with the stop design, the ultrasonic welding can achieve a better sealing effect.
[0070] Specifically, in combination Figure 5, Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, one of the nozzle cover 16 and the nozzle cover plate 17 is provided with a first groove 161, a second groove 162 and a plurality of third grooves 163 facing the other opening. The second groove 162 is connected between the first groove 161 and the plurality of third grooves 163. The other of the nozzle cover 16 and the nozzle cover plate 17 is provided with a first protrusion 171, a second protrusion 172 and a plurality of third protrusions 173. The first protrusion 171 is provided in the opening of the first groove 161 and forms a water inlet passage 11 with the first groove 161. The second protrusion 172 is provided in the opening of the second groove 162 and forms a buffer cavity 12 with the second groove 162. The plurality of third protrusions 173 are respectively provided in the openings of the plurality of third grooves 163 and form a water outlet passage 13 with the third grooves 163.
[0071] For example, the nozzle cover 16 is provided with a first groove 161, a second groove 162 and a plurality of third grooves 163 opening toward the nozzle cover plate 17. The nozzle cover plate 17 is provided with a first protrusion 171, a second protrusion 172 and a plurality of third protrusions 173 protruding toward the nozzle cover 16. The first protrusion 171 is disposed in the opening of the first groove 161, and the first protrusion 171 and the first groove 161 together define the water inlet passage 11. The second protrusion 172 is disposed in the opening of the second groove 162, and the second protrusion 172 and the second groove 162 together define the buffer chamber 12. The plurality of third protrusions 173 are respectively disposed in the openings of the plurality of third grooves 163, and the plurality of third protrusions 173 are respectively disposed in the openings of the plurality of third grooves 163 one to one. The third protrusions 173 and the third grooves 163 together define the water outlet passage 13. With the above arrangement, the water flow channel can be constructed according to the flow direction requirements of the water flow, thereby ensuring the smoothness and stability of the water flow.
[0072] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 9 As shown, the water outlet channel 13 is constructed with a tapering section 131, the width of which decreases in the water outlet direction.
[0073] Specifically, in the direction of water outflow, the width of the narrowing section 131 of the water outlet channel 13 gradually decreases, which can increase the flow velocity of the water flow and thus improve the smoothness of the water flow in the water outlet channel 13.
[0074] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the nozzle body 1 is provided with a water inlet 18, which is connected to the water inlet channel 11. The nozzle body 1 is provided with multiple water outlets 19, which are connected to multiple water outlet channels 13 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0075] The inlet 18 is suitable for connecting with an external water source. External water flows through the inlet 18 into the water inlet channel 11, and then flows through the water equalization component 2 in the buffer chamber 12 to multiple water outlet channels 13. The multiple water outlet channels 13 are connected to multiple water outlets 19 one by one. Finally, the water is sprayed from the multiple water outlets 19 onto different positions of the cleaning component, thereby achieving a uniform wetting effect on the cleaning component and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0076] Specifically, in combination Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the water outlet direction of the water outlet 13 is perpendicular to the water outlet direction of the water outlet 19. This arrangement can change the direction of water flow, so that the water sprayed from the water outlet 19 can be directly sprayed onto the cleaning part, thereby improving its wetting efficiency.
[0077] Optionally, the width of the outlet 19 is h, where h satisfies the relationship: 0.3mm ≤ h ≤ 0.8mm. The width of the outlet 19 (or its height) is relatively small, which allows for control of the cross-sectional area through which the water flows, thereby increasing the water pressure and velocity as the water passes through the outlet 19, and thus improving the smoothness of the water flow out of the outlet 19. For example, h can be 0.3mm, 0.4mm, or 0.8mm, and is not limited to these.
[0078] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the nozzle body 1 has a guide portion 191 protruding outward along the water outlet direction below the water outlet 19. The guide portion 191 is provided with a guide surface 1911 for guiding the water flow to the cleaning component. This arrangement allows the guide portion 191 to guide the water at the water outlet 19, thereby facilitating the water flow out of the water outlet 19. The guide surface 1911 can also increase the contact area between the water outlet 19 and the cleaning component (such as a roller brush), thereby improving the uniformity of water wetting of the cleaning component and effectively reducing the problem of large and uneven water stains on the cleaning surface.
[0079] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the guide surface 1911 is constructed as an arc-shaped surface or an inclined surface. The arc-shaped surface can provide a smooth fluid transition, reduce turbulence and vortices in the water flow process, thereby reducing flow resistance and improving the flow stability of the water flow; the arc-shaped surface can also promote the uniform distribution of fluid, avoid local overflow or dead zones, and improve the flow uniformity of the water flow.
[0080] Furthermore, combined Figures 1-3 and Figures 8-9As shown, the nozzle assembly 100 also includes a wringer 3, which is connected to the bottom of the nozzle body 1. The nozzle body 1 can spray clean water evenly from the outlet 19 onto the cleaning component (such as a roller brush), facilitating the roller brush to clean dirt from the cleaning surface. The wringer 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the nozzle body 1, and can scrape off solid dirt from the surface of the roller brush and squeeze out wastewater from inside the roller brush when the cleaning component rotates.
[0081] Specifically, in combination Figures 8-9 As shown, the nozzle body 1 is provided with a water outlet surface 1912 facing the cleaning component, and the wringer 3 is provided with a wringer surface 31 facing the cleaning component. Both the water outlet surface 1912 and the wringer surface 31 are arc surfaces, and the water outlet surface 1912 and the wringer surface 31 are arranged on the same circular surface.
[0082] For example, the cleaning component can be a roller brush. The nozzle body 1 is provided with an arc-shaped water outlet surface 1912 that matches the rotation path of the roller brush. The clean water flowing out of the outlet 19 can flow along the contour of the arc-shaped water outlet surface 1912 onto the roller brush, which can increase the coverage and uniformity of the clean water on the roller brush, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the roller brush. The squeegee 3 is provided with an arc-shaped squeegee surface 31 facing the cleaning component, which can match the rotation path of the roller brush and can also spread the clean water sprayed onto the surface of the roller brush evenly, thereby improving the uniformity of water distribution on the roller brush.
[0083] In addition, the water outlet surface 1912 and the water squeezing surface 31 are arranged on the same circular surface, which helps to reduce the frictional resistance between the roller brush and the water squeezing scraper 3 and the nozzle body 1 when the roller brush rotates.
