[0029] As Figures 1-13 described, the utility model is applied to the cleaning device of the sweeping robot, and the cleaning device can improve the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot in a narrow area.

[0030] The cleaning device comprises extension supports 100 and extension bottom shells 101 which are spliced with each other, the combination of the extension supports 100 and the extension bottom shells 101 forms a cavity in which a retraction mechanism 2 and a swing positioning mechanism 3 are arranged, the bottom of the cavity is of an open structure, one end of the retraction mechanism 2 is rotationally connected to the inside of the body, the output end of the swing positioning mechanism 3 is connected to the retraction mechanism 2, the output end of the swing positioning mechanism 3 has a movement track moving outward of the body, so that the retraction mechanism 2 can be adjusted to the edge of the body or outside the edge of the body, therefore, the cloth assembly 4 can still clean in a narrow space without being affected by the shape of the sweeping robot.

[0031] The swing mode can avoid interference between the cloth assemblies 4, and the swing mode can adjust the position of the cloth assembly 4 to a farther place, further improving the effective cleaning area.

[0032] The swing positioning mechanism 3 comprises a swing lever 31, an extension tooth 32 and a first motor 33. The swing lever 31 is arranged on the surface of the retraction mechanism 2 and connected with the retraction mechanism 2. The extension tooth 32 is provided with an extension area 32a extending outward. The output end of the first motor 33 is provided with a driving gear meshing with the extension tooth 32. The extension area 32a abuts against the swing lever 31 through the rotation of the extension tooth 32. When the first motor 33 drives the extension tooth 32 to rotate, the extension area 32a pushes the swing lever 31 to rotate the whole retraction mechanism 2. This design has the advantages of using few parts to rotate the retraction mechanism 2, and occupying small space, which can be applied to small devices such as the sweeping robot.

[0033] Further, the extension area 32a extends outward from the side surface of the extension tooth 32, which aims to extend the occupied space in the horizontal direction and reduce the occupation of the longitudinal space.

[0034] Further, the swing lever 31 and the extension tooth 32 are arranged in the extension bottom shell 101. The swing lever 31 is a rotating piece 31a provided with a pair of arm portions 31b. The extension bottom shell 101 is further provided with a pair of limiting blocks 35 and a torsion spring 34 limiting the rotation amplitude of the rotating piece 31a. The limiting block 35 is located on the rotation path of the arm portion 31b, and the rotating piece 31a is connected with the torsion spring 34. The swing lever 31 comprises two driving modes of forward rotation and reverse rotation, and comprises the reset of the torsion spring 34 and the active driving of the first motor 33. One of the limiting blocks 35 ensures that the position of the arm portion 31b will not be out of the rotation range of the extension area 32a due to the reset of the torsion spring 34. The other limiting block 35 and the extension area 32a constrain the arm portion 31b to ensure that the swing lever 31 will not be loose.

[0035] Further, the limiting block 35 is provided with a shock pad capable of abutting against the swing lever 31, which is used to alleviate the force of the swing lever 31 hitting the limiting block 35 and reduce the wear between them.

[0036] Further, the inner retraction mechanism 2 comprises a telescopic part for lifting the cloth assembly 4, the telescopic part comprises an inner core 22, a connecting plate 23 and an outer shell 21 sleeved on the inner core 22, one end of the outer shell 21 is connected with the cloth assembly 4, the other end is an open structure, the inner core 22 is located in the outer shell 21, the connecting plate 23 is arranged on the open structure and connected with the outer shell 21, wherein a plurality of threaded grooves 21a are arranged in the outer shell 21, a plurality of inclined sliding blocks 22a are arranged on the outer periphery of the inner core 22, the inclined sliding blocks 22a are slidably connected with the threaded grooves 21a, and a limiting portion 23a abutting against the inclined sliding blocks 22a is arranged on the connecting plate 23; the purpose is to integrate the functions of the mechanism for driving the cloth assembly 4 to lift and the mechanism for driving the cloth assembly 4 to rotate, so that the use of the two mechanisms can be saved, and the structure of the cleaning device is simple, practical and low in cost.

[0037] The specific use process of the extension is as follows: the inner core 22 is reversely rotated to separate the outer shell 21 from the inner core 22, the outer shell 21 moves close to the ground, when the inner core 21 is reversely rotated, the inclined sliding blocks 22a on the outer periphery of the inner core 22 will touch the limiting portion 23a at the end of the threaded groove 21a and apply pressure to the limiting portion 23a, the limiting portion 23a is arranged on the connecting plate 23, and the connecting plate 23 is connected with the outer shell 21, so that the entire outer shell 21 is rotated to drive the cloth assembly 4 to rotate.

[0038] It should be noted that after the connecting plate 23 is installed on the outer shell 21, the limiting portion 23a is located at the end position of the threaded groove 21a and has a restraining effect on the inclined sliding blocks 22a, so as to ensure that the inclined sliding blocks 22a will not be separated from the threaded groove 21a.

[0039] Further, a one-way bearing is further arranged on the outer shell 21, because the outer shell 21 is located in the abutting piece (the abutting piece is one part of the outer extension support 100) in the body, the abutting piece is sleeved on the one-way bearing, so that when the outer shell 21 rotates, the abutting piece will not provide a reverse rotating force to the outer shell 21, and the outer shell 21 will not be damaged by the forces in two different rotating directions.
