[0053] The present application provides a floor cleaning machine 100, specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 3In the embodiment, the sweeping machine 100 comprises a device body 1, a side brush structure 2 and a lateral cleaning piece 3. The side brush structure 2 is arranged at the bottom of the device body 1. The lateral cleaning piece 3 is arranged on the device body 1 and is located at the same side of the device body 1 as the side brush structure 2. The lateral cleaning piece 3 can be used to clean a vertical wall surface which is arranged opposite to the circumferential side of the device body.

[0054] In the embodiment, the side brush structure 2 is arranged at the bottom of the device body 1 and is used to clean a surface to be cleaned which is opposite to the bottom of the device body 1. For example, the side brush structure 2 can be used to clean the ground. The lateral cleaning piece 3 has a lateral cleaning function and can be used to clean a surface to be cleaned which is arranged opposite to the circumferential side of the device body 1. The lateral cleaning piece 3 can be used to clean a vertical wall surface. Moreover, the lateral cleaning piece 3 is located at the same side of the device body 1 as the side brush structure 2. When the sweeping machine 100 performs edge cleaning, the side brush structure 2 can be used to clean an edge area (for example, the ground close to a wall surface), and the lateral cleaning piece 3 can be used to clean the wall surface and the skirting line of the edge area. The sweeping machine 100 can not only clean the edge area completely, but also clean the wall surface and the skirting line at the same time. The cleaning range of the sweeping machine 100 is wider, and the cleaning effect is better. The user does not need to manually clean the wall surface and the skirting line of a low area, which effectively reduces the labor intensity of the user and improves the user experience.

[0055] It should be noted that, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 It should be noted that, in combination with

[0056] The device body 1 comprises a shell, a rolling brush arranged at the bottom of the shell, and a cloth disc arranged at the bottom of the shell. The side brush structure 2 is arranged at the bottom of the shell. The cleaning surfaces of the rolling brush, the cloth disc and the side brush structure 2 are all arranged downward to better clean the ground. The side brush structure 2 comprises a side brush piece. The side brush piece is preferably arranged at the right side of the bottom of the device body 1, so that the sweeping machine 100 can clean along the right edge. The arrangement position of the lateral cleaning piece 3 corresponds to the arrangement position of the side brush structure 2. Preferably, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the lateral cleaning member 3 is located on the right side of the device body 1 in the advancing direction of the robot cleaner 100. When the robot cleaner 100 performs the edge cleaning, the brush structure 2 can clean the ground in the edge area, and the lateral cleaning member 3 can better clean the wall or skirting line in the edge area, and the cleaning efficiency is higher. Of course, in other embodiments, the lateral cleaning member 3 can also be arranged on other sides of the device body, such as the left side, the front side, the rear side, or the oblique right front side, the oblique right rear side, and the like, which should be reasonably arranged according to the power driving mode of the robot cleaner 100 and the cleaning habits of the user.

[0057] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of lateral cleaning members 3 are arranged close to the circumferential side of the device body 1. The plurality of lateral cleaning members 3 can be arranged in a ring shape along the circumference of the device body 1, and the robot cleaner 100 can clean the vertical wall surface on any side in the advancing direction, and the cleaning mode is more flexible and diverse. Moreover, when the plurality of lateral cleaning members 3 are arranged, the edge cleaning direction of the robot cleaner 100 is not limited, whether the robot cleaner 100 performs the edge cleaning work on the right side or on the left side, the cleaning of the wall or the skirting line can be realized, and the cleaning function of the robot cleaner 100 is more powerful.

[0058] It can be understood that when the robot cleaner 100 performs the edge cleaning, in order to realize the cleaning of the vertical wall surface, at least part of the lateral cleaning member 3 should be arranged protruding from the device body 1, and specifically, at least part of the lateral cleaning member 3 can be extended outside the shell to better contact the vertical wall surface. Wherein, the shell of the robot cleaner 100 is substantially disc-shaped, the lateral cleaning member 3 has a first cleaning surface, and the first cleaning surface 321 is movably arranged and has at least a first working state protruding from the device body 1 and outward of the circumferential side of the device body 1. Specifically, here, the outside is relative to the device body 1 itself, the inside of the shell of the device body 1 is the inside, and the outside of the shell is the outside. The first cleaning surface outward of the circumferential side of the device body 1 means that the first cleaning surface is arranged perpendicular to the radial direction of the device body 1, and the first surface is arranged as an outer surface opposite to the circumferential arrangement of the device body 1, so as to better face the vertical wall surface (such as the wall surface or the skirting line) of the circumferential side of the robot cleaner 100. By extending the first cleaning surface 321 outside the shell, the first cleaning surface 321 can better contact the wall or the skirting line relative to the shell, so as to clean the wall or the skirting line through the first cleaning surface 321.

[0059] In addition, in order to ensure that the first cleaning surface 321 can better conform to the vertical wall surface, when the first cleaning surface 321 extends out of the shell to perform the cleaning work, the first cleaning surface 321 and the shell are arranged at a certain angle, so as to better conform to the vertical wall surface. Preferably, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in the first working state, the first cleaning surface 321 and the device body 1 do not at least partially overlap in the front projection of the device body 1 in the front-rear direction. Specifically, when the lateral cleaning member 3 is arranged on the right side of the device body 1, in the first working state, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be arranged to protrude from the widest position of the device body 1 in the width direction of the sweeper 100, i.e., the left-right direction of the sweeper 100, so that the lateral cleaning member 3 is the first to contact the vertical wall surface, and better contacts the vertical wall surface and protects the device body 1 from being scratched by the vertical wall surface.

[0060] When the first cleaning surface 321 does not perform the edge cleaning, i.e., the sweeper 100 is in the second working state, the first cleaning surface 321 is arranged to be as close to the housing as possible. At this time, preferably, the first cleaning surface 321 is arranged to be tangent to the housing. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the second working state, the first cleaning surface 321 and the device body 1 overlap in the front projection of the device body 1 in the front-rear direction. The overlapping area of the first cleaning surface 321 and the device body 1 is larger than that in the first working state, i.e., the lateral cleaning member 3 is not arranged to protrude from the widest position of the device body 1, so that the lateral cleaning member 3 does not block the path of the sweeper 100 and is better protected from being collided with external obstacles. Further preferably, when the housing of the device body 1 is circular, the first cleaning surface 321 can be arranged to be tangent to the circular housing, so as not to interfere with the normal cleaning of the sweeper 100 and ensure the smoothness of the sweeper 100.

[0061] The first cleaning surface 321 can be moved in various ways. Specifically, in an embodiment, the lateral cleaning member 3 is elastic. When the sweeper 100 performs lateral cleaning, the first cleaning surface 321 of the lateral cleaning member 3 can be kept in contact with the wall or skirting board due to the elastic deformation of the lateral cleaning member 3, so as to ensure better cleaning effect. Alternatively, the lateral cleaning member 3 is made of a material with memory deformation, and the first cleaning surface 321 is moved by the deformation of the material.

[0062] Preferably, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be a cleaning sponge or a cleaning brush, so that the lateral cleaning member 3 can better fit the wall or skirting board when the sweeper 100 performs edge cleaning.

[0063] In other embodiments, the movement of the first cleaning surface 321 can also be achieved by movement of the lateral cleaning member 3 itself. Specifically, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be configured to be movable, to have a first working state and a second working state, in which the first cleaning surface 321 is arranged closer to the device body 1 than in the first working state. By configuring the lateral cleaning member 3 to be movable, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be arranged in the second working state closer to or retracted into the device body 1 when the robot cleaner 100 is normally performing ground cleaning, so that the lateral cleaning member 3 is less likely to collide with or be scratched by external objects when the robot cleaner 100 is normally performing cleaning, and the cleaning is smoother. When the robot cleaner 100 needs to clean a vertical wall surface, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be extended so that the lateral cleaning member 3 is arranged protruding from the housing of the device body 1, and can better contact the wall or skirting line for cleaning.

[0064] It can be understood that there are many ways to drive the lateral cleaning member 3 to move. For example, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be configured to rotate, or to move linearly and reciprocally, or to move in a combination of multiple ways, etc.

[0065] Specifically, in an embodiment, the robot cleaner 100 further comprises a resilient member connecting the lateral cleaning member 3 and the device body 1, so that the lateral cleaning member 3 can be switched between the first working state and the second working state. The resilient member can be configured as an extension spring or a torsion spring. The extension spring can be used to achieve linear and reciprocal movement of the lateral cleaning member 3. The torsion spring can be used to achieve rotation of the lateral cleaning member 3. Specifically, the extension spring connects the device body 1 and the lateral cleaning member 3, and is arranged in the left-right direction of the device body 1. The extension spring is configured to have a certain amount of reciprocal movement space for the lateral cleaning member 3 in the left-right direction of the device body 1. Under the action of the extension spring or the torsion spring, when an external wall or obstacle blocks the lateral cleaning member 3 in the travel path of the robot cleaner 100, the extension spring or the torsion spring can be compressed or twisted under the pushing force of the external wall or obstacle, to drive the lateral cleaning member 3 to move passively to be arranged closer to the device body 1 to avoid collision. When cleaning the wall, the extension spring or the torsion spring can press the lateral cleaning member 3 against the wall, so that the cleaning friction is greater and the cleaning effect is better.

[0066] In another embodiment, the lateral cleaning member 3 can be configured to move actively. Specifically, the robot cleaner 100 further comprises a lateral driving structure 4 arranged on the device body 1, which is directly or indirectly connected to the lateral cleaning member 3, and is configured to drive the lateral cleaning member 3 to switch between the first working state and the second working state. By driving the lateral cleaning member 3 to move actively through the lateral driving structure 4, the movement mode and amount of the lateral cleaning member 3 can be more easily controlled, and the intelligent effect is better.

[0067] Further, the lateral driving structure 4 comprises a lateral driver 41 arranged on the device body 1 and a transmission structure connecting the lateral driver 41 and the lateral cleaning member 3; the lateral driver 41 drives the transmission structure to move, thereby driving the lateral cleaning member 3 to move and switch between the first working state and the second working state; the driving force of the lateral driver 41 is transmitted to the lateral cleaning member 3 through the transmission structure, so as to better convert the driving force into the movement of the lateral cleaning member 3.

[0068] In an embodiment, the lateral driver 41 is arranged in rotation. Specifically, in combination with Figures 5 to 7 As shown in the drawings, the transmission structure comprises a swing rod 42, one end of the swing rod 42 being connected with the lateral driver 41; the lateral cleaning member 3 is arranged in rotation on the device body 1 and abuts against the swing rod 42; the lateral driver 41 drives the swing rod 42 to rotate, thereby driving the lateral cleaning member 3 to rotate and switch between the first working state and the second working state under the abutting action of the swing rod 42 and the lateral cleaning member 3. The lateral driver 41 can be arranged as a driving motor, the rotation shaft of the driving motor being arranged along the up-down direction of the device body 1 and connected with one end of the swing rod 42, the other end of the swing rod 42 being in contact with the lateral cleaning member 3; the swing rod 42 swings to realize the small-amplitude rotation of the lateral cleaning member 3, and the abutting action of the swing rod 42 makes the lateral cleaning member 3 better keep in the cleaning position or the position close to the device body 1, so as to ensure that the lateral cleaning member 3 does not loosen and produce abnormal sound during working.

[0069] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figure 7As shown in the figure, the lateral cleaning member 3 comprises a mounting block 31 and a cleaning head 32 arranged on one side of the mounting block 31, the mounting block 31 is rotationally connected with the equipment main body 1, the mounting block 31 is provided with a guide groove 311, specifically, the guide groove 311 is arranged on the bottom of the mounting block 31 and the slot opening is arranged downward, the cleaning head 32 is located on the right side of the mounting block 31, and a first cleaning surface 321 is arranged on the cleaning head 32 and located on the right side of the cleaning head 32; the swing rod 42 is swingingly arranged along the horizontal direction, the other end of the swing rod 42 is provided with a protruding column 421 arranged upward, the protruding column 421 is slidingly arranged in the guide groove 311 and abuts against the slot side wall of the guide groove 311. In the direction of the lateral drive 41 towards the mounting block 31, the rod width of the swing rod 42 is gradually reduced to avoid interference between the swing rod 42 and the mounting block 31 during swinging. The swinging of the swing rod 42 causes the protruding column 421 at the end thereof to have a displacement amount in the left-right direction of the equipment main body 1, and then the protruding column 421 abuts against the guide groove 311 to drive the guide groove 311 to displace in the left-right direction of the equipment main body 1, so that the cleaning head 32 can also move in the left-right direction of the equipment main body 1, ensuring that the first cleaning surface 321 can be in the cleaning position and reliably close to the equipment main body 1. Through the rotation of the swing rod 42, the space occupied by the entire lateral driving structure 4 is smaller, and the volume of the entire sweeping machine 100 can be smaller.

[0070] In the mounting block 31, a first mounting hole can be arranged, a second mounting hole can be arranged on the equipment main body 1, and the sweeping machine 100 further comprises a rotating shaft rotationally sleeved in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole to rotationally connect the mounting block 31 and the equipment main body 1. Moreover, the lateral driving structure 4 further comprises a torsional spring 43 arranged at the rotation between the equipment main body 1 and the mounting block 31, specifically, the torsional spring 43 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft to drive the lateral cleaning member 3 to automatically switch from the first working state to the second working state. When the lateral cleaning member 3 is in the first working state under the driving of the lateral drive 41, the torsional spring 43 is in a torsional energy storage state at this time, and the lateral drive 41 needs to continuously apply a driving force to the lateral cleaning member 3 when in the first working state, so that the lateral cleaning member 3 can be kept in the first working state for cleaning; when the cleaning is completed, under the action of the torsional spring 43, the lateral cleaning member 3 is automatically reset to the second working state, and the swing rod 42 is also reset together to wait for the next lateral cleaning work, which is more convenient to reset and saves energy without the driving of the lateral drive 41.

[0071] In still another embodiment, the transmission structure can include a telescopic rod connecting the lateral driver 41 and the lateral cleaning member 3, the lateral driver 41 driving the telescopic rod to move telescopically and drive the lateral cleaning member 3 to move. In this embodiment, the lateral driver 41 can be provided as a driving cylinder, which drives one of the telescopic segments of the telescopic rod to move, so as to change the length of the telescopic rod and drive the lateral cleaning member 3 to move. The telescopic direction of the telescopic rod should be consistent with the moving direction of the lateral cleaning member 3. Preferably, the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod is provided along the left-right direction of the device body 1, so that the activity adjustment amount is larger, the lateral cleaning member 3 can better realize the cleaning work of the vertical wall surface, and the lateral cleaning member 3 can better fit the device body 1 or be provided in the device body 1.

[0072] The utility model also provides a sweeper 100, the sweeper 100 in this specific embodiment can be the sweeper 100 in the above embodiment, or can be other sweeper 100 different from the above specific embodiment. In this embodiment, the sweeper 100 includes a device body 1 and a lateral cleaning member 3, which is provided on the device body 1 and can extend from the peripheral surface of the device body 1, and the lateral cleaning member 3 has a first cleaning surface 321 provided outwardly of the peripheral surface of the device body 1. The first cleaning surface 321 of the lateral cleaning member 3 can clean the vertical wall surface such as a wall surface or a skirting line perpendicular to the ground, realizing the cleaning work of the vertical wall surface, so that the cleaning ability of the sweeper 100 is stronger and the cleaning efficiency is higher.

[0073] Since the vertical wall surface such as a wall surface or a skirting line is generally provided perpendicular to the ground, preferably, the first cleaning surface 321 is provided along the up-down direction of the device body 1, so that the first cleaning surface 321 can better fit the vertical wall surface with a larger area and has a higher cleaning efficiency.

[0074] Further preferably, in combination with Figures 3 to 6 As shown in the figure, the first cleaning surface 321 has a first working state provided along the front-rear direction of the device body 1 and a second working state close to the device body 1. In the first working state, the first cleaning surface 321 can be parallel to the vertical wall surface, so that each part of the first cleaning surface 321 is in contact with the vertical wall surface, and the cleaning is more complete.

[0075] In the second working state, the first cleaning surface 321 can be provided obliquely along the front-rear direction of the device body 1 to be closer to the device body 1, or can be retracted into the device body 1, so as to ensure that the lateral cleaning member 3 does not interfere with the movement of the sweeper 100 when the vertical wall surface does not need to be cleaned, the overall structure of the sweeper 100 is more compact, and the movement is more convenient.

[0076] Preferably, the lateral cleaning member 3 is located on the right side of the device body 1, and the first cleaning surface 321 is outwardly arranged towards the right side of the device body 1. When the robot cleaner 100 cleans along the right side, the wall along the right side can be cleaned by the first cleaning surface 321, and the robot cleaner 100 can clean more comprehensively, effectively saving the cleaning time of the user and effectively improving the use experience of the user.

[0077] In addition, the height of the first cleaning surface 321 is adapted to the height of the device body 1, and preferably, the first cleaning surface 321 is outwardly arranged towards the right side of the device body 1. Figure 2 As shown, the height of the first cleaning surface 321 is consistent with the height of the device body 1, so that the first cleaning surface 321 is not too high to limit the driving area of the robot cleaner 100, and the area of the first cleaning surface 321 is large enough to have higher cleaning efficiency.

[0078] The lateral cleaning member 3 can be a brush, a cloth or a sponge, and is detachably arranged on the device body 1, which is easy to clean and replace.
