Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of floor cleaning technology, and more particularly to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Some existing floor scrubbers have electrical components such as screens, speakers, and microprocessors on their handles. To achieve effective connection between the handle assembly and the body assembly, a plug-in connection method is typically used. This design allows users to assemble or detach the handle assembly from the body assembly through simple plugging and unplugging. However, existing designs have a relatively large number of connection terminals between the handle and the body. On the one hand, a large number of connection terminals not only requires a more precise mating structure and higher manufacturing accuracy, but also increases assembly difficulty and cost, affecting the stability and durability of the final product. Furthermore, multi-terminal connections are susceptible to wear and dust during long-term use, leading to poor connections or signal transmission problems, further impacting the user experience.

[0003] On the other hand, to reduce the weight of the controller assembly or simplify the design, functional components such as the screen or speakers are sometimes placed on the main body assembly. While this simplifies the controller's structure to some extent and reduces the number of connection terminals, it limits the controller assembly's functional expandability or independence. At the same time, this design also places higher demands on signal synchronization and transmission efficiency between the controller and the main body. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The handle assembly includes a power module, a microprocessor, an input module, and / or an output module, wherein the power module is connected to the microprocessor, the input module, and / or the output module.

[0036] The connection terminals connect between the body assembly and the handle assembly.

[0037] The cleaning device provided in this application includes a body assembly, a handle assembly, and connection terminals. The handle assembly includes a power module, a microprocessor, an input module, and / or an output module. The power module is connected to the microprocessor, input module, and / or output module. Connection terminals are located between the body assembly and the handle assembly. The connection terminals include a positive power supply terminal, a negative power supply terminal, and a communication terminal. Both the positive and negative power supply terminals are connected to the power module to supply power to the power module, which in turn supplies power to the microprocessor, input module, and / or output module. The communication terminal is connected to the microprocessor for communication with the body assembly.

[0038] By placing the input and / or output modules in the handle assembly, compared to related technologies where the input and output modules are located in the body assembly, the functional expandability and independence of the handle assembly are improved, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by including positive power supply terminals, negative power supply terminals, and communication terminals, with the positive and negative power supply terminals connected to the power module to supply power to the handle assembly, and the communication terminal connected to the microprocessor for communication with the body assembly, the handle assembly can be powered and communicated via these terminals. This reduces the number of power supply terminals, simplifies the assembly of the handle and body assemblies, improves the stability of the connection between the handle and body assemblies, and further enhances the overall stability of the cleaning equipment.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a cleaning device 1 according to one embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a cleaning device 1, including a body assembly 20, a handle assembly 30, and a connection terminal 40. The cleaning device 1 can be a floor scrubber or a vacuum cleaner, and this application does not limit it to either.

[0040] The main unit 20 typically includes a motor system, a brush disc or roller brush, a vacuuming system, and a water suction system. The motor is the core driving force of the cleaning equipment 1, responsible for driving components such as the brush disc, vacuum fan, and drive wheels, enabling the equipment to perform cleaning tasks. The main unit 20 also typically includes a battery or power system, which is generally connected to mains power. The battery or power system provides electrical energy to the main unit 20, enabling it to operate. The main unit 20 also includes a main control system, used to control the motor's speed or direction, the vacuuming system's pressure, and the operating status of other components within the cleaning equipment 1.

[0041] The handle assembly 30 includes a power module 31, a microprocessor 32, an input module 33, and an output module 34. The power module 31 is connected to the microprocessor 32, the input module 33, and the output module 34, and is used to supply power to the microprocessor 32, the input module 33, and the output module 34.

[0042] A connection terminal 40 is connected between the body assembly 20 and the handle assembly 30. The connection terminal 40 includes a positive power supply terminal 41, a negative power supply terminal 42, and a communication terminal 43. Both the positive power supply terminal 41 and the negative power supply terminal 42 are connected to the power module 31 to supply power to the microprocessor 32, the input module 33, and the output module 34. The communication terminal 43 is connected to the microprocessor 32 for communication with the body assembly 20.

[0043] The body assembly 20 and the handle assembly 30 are plugged in and connected. After the plugging is completed, the connection terminal 40 on the body assembly 20 and the connection terminal 40 on the handle assembly 30 are electrically connected. The body assembly 20 and the handle assembly 30 are electrically and signal connected through the connection terminal 40.

[0044] The cleaning device 1 provided in this embodiment includes a body assembly 20, a handle assembly 30, and a connection terminal 40. The handle assembly 30 includes a power module 31, a microprocessor 32, an input module 33, and an output module 34. The power module 31 is connected to the microprocessor 32, the input module 33, and the output module 34. The connection terminal 40 is connected between the body assembly 20 and the handle assembly 30. The connection terminal 40 includes a positive power supply terminal 41, a negative power supply terminal 42, and a communication terminal 43. The positive power supply terminal 41 and the negative power supply terminal 42 are both connected to the power module 31 to supply power to the microprocessor 32, the input module 33, and the output module 34. The communication terminal 43 is connected to the microprocessor 32 for communication with the body assembly 20.

[0045] By placing the input module 33 and output module 34 on the handle assembly 30, compared to placing them on the body assembly 20 in related technologies, the functional expandability and independence of the handle assembly 30 are improved, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by including a positive power supply terminal 41, a negative power supply terminal 42, and a communication terminal 43 on the connection terminal 40, with the positive and negative power supply terminals 41 and 42 connected to the power module 31 to supply power to the handle assembly 30, and the communication terminal 43 connected to the microprocessor 32 for communication with the body assembly 20, the handle assembly 30 can be powered and communicated via the positive, negative, and communication terminals 41 and 42. This reduces the number of power supply terminals, facilitating user assembly of the handle assembly 30 and body assembly 20, improving the stability of the connection between the handle assembly 30 and body assembly 20, and further enhancing the overall stability of the cleaning device 1.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cleaning device 1 as shown in another embodiment. Figure 2 The illustrated embodiments and Figure 1 The illustrated embodiments are essentially the same. The difference lies in that... Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, there is one communication terminal 43. The cleaning device 1 also includes a full-duplex data transmission transceiver unit 35, connected between the communication terminal 43 and the microprocessor 32. The function of the full-duplex data transmission transceiver unit 35 is to convert the data transmission between the communication terminal 43 and the microprocessor 32 into a suitable format and perform full-duplex (bidirectional) data communication. Full-duplex means that data can be sent and received simultaneously, which is more efficient and has stronger real-time performance compared to half-duplex communication.

[0047] The communication terminal 43, the full-duplex data transmission and reception conversion unit 35, and the microprocessor 32 work together to enable efficient and real-time data exchange between the handle assembly 30 and the body assembly 20. The full-duplex communication design significantly improves the efficiency of data interaction, enabling bidirectional communication, timely response to user commands, and feedback of operation results. This configuration not only facilitates communication between the body assembly 20 and the handle assembly 30 but also reduces the number of communication terminals 43, making it easier for users to assemble the handle assembly 30 and the body assembly 20, improving the stability of the connection between the handle assembly 30 and the body assembly 20, and further enhancing the overall stability of the cleaning equipment 1.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of cleaning device 1 as shown in another embodiment. Figure 3 The illustrated embodiments and Figure 2 The illustrated embodiments are essentially the same. The difference lies in that... Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the handle assembly 30 further includes an activation unit 36 ​​and a self-locking unit 361. The activation unit 36 ​​is connected to the power module 31 and is used to send a pulse enable signal to the power module 31 to start the power module 31. The duration of the pulse enable signal is less than a duration limit. The self-locking unit 361 is connected between the microprocessor 32 and the power module 31 and is used to extend the duration of the pulse enable signal so that the power module 31 can work continuously.

[0049] Upon receiving an activation signal and being connected to the positive power supply terminal 41, the activation unit 36 ​​can send a pulse enable signal to the power module 31 to start it. The pulse enable signal wakes up the power module 31, but it is insufficient to keep it running continuously. Therefore, during the initial wake-up phase, the power module 31 supplies power to the microprocessor 32, causing the microprocessor-controlled self-locking unit 361 to control the state of the power module 31, maintaining its continuous operation. Even after the activation signal or pulse enable signal has ended, the self-locking unit 361 acts as a locking mechanism, ensuring the power module 31 does not shut down due to a brief pulse enable signal, thus guaranteeing continuous operation of the device. The self-locking unit 361 may maintain the power module 31's on state by setting logical conditions in the microprocessor 32 or using hardware circuits (such as relays, electronic switches 362, or triggers). This is a standard function of the self-locking unit 361, which will not be elaborated upon further in this application.

[0050] By incorporating the activation unit 36 ​​and the self-locking unit 361, the cleaning device 1 can be easily started and continuously operated. Upon receiving an activation signal and connecting to the positive power supply terminal 41, the activation unit 36 ​​activates the power module 31 by sending a short-duration pulse enable signal. The self-locking unit 361 extends the operating time of the power module 31, ensuring that the device will not be interrupted by a brief signal interruption. The microprocessor 32 plays a coordinating and controlling role, ensuring stable system operation. This improves the ease of use and energy efficiency of the device, and enhances the user experience.

[0051] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the connection terminal 40 further includes an activation terminal 44, and the activation unit 36 ​​is connected between the activation terminal 44 and the positive power supply terminal 41. An activation signal is sent to the activation unit 36 ​​through the activation terminal 44. Thus, by setting the activation terminal 44 to activate the power module 31, the structure is simple, the performance is stable, the activation failure rate of the power module 31 is reduced, and the system stability is improved.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of cleaning device 1 as shown in yet another embodiment. Figure 4 and Figure 3 The embodiments shown are basically the same, except that, in Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the activation unit 36 ​​is connected between the communication terminal 43 and the positive power supply terminal 41. An activation signal is sent to the activation unit 36 ​​via the communication terminal 43. Thus, the power module 31 can be activated while reducing the number of connection terminals 40. In addition to improving the operational stability of the power module 31 by controlling it with the activation unit 36, it also saves one connection terminal 40, facilitating user assembly of the handle assembly 30 and the body assembly 20, improving the stability of the connection between the handle assembly 30 and the body assembly 20, and further enhancing the overall stability of the cleaning device 1.

[0053] exist Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the handle assembly 30 further includes a switch 362, which is connected between the positive power supply terminal 41 and the activation unit 36. The switch 362 is used to connect or disconnect the positive power supply terminal 41 and the activation unit 36. This facilitates the control of the activation unit 36 ​​by controlling the switch 362, avoiding the energy consumption problem caused by the power module 31 working continuously when the handle assembly 30 and the body assembly 20 are connected. This further saves energy and improves the convenience of control.

[0054] Switch 362 is connected to microprocessor 32 and is used to control the self-locking unit 361 to disconnect from power module 31 when switch 362 switches from the on state to the off state. Specifically, handle assembly 30 includes button 331, which includes a control button for switch 362. Microprocessor 32 is connected to the control button for switch 362 and is used to monitor the state changes of the control button for switch 362. When switch 362 switches from the on state to the off state, it controls the self-locking unit 361 to disconnect from power module 31, so that power module 31 stops working and saves energy.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of one embodiment of the handle assembly in the cleaning device shown. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the handle assembly 30 further includes a power supply module 37, which includes an input terminal 371 and an output terminal 372. The input terminal 371 is connected to the power module 31, and the output terminal 372 is connected to the microprocessor 32, the input module 33, and the output module 34, and is used to supply power to the microprocessor 32, the input module 33, and the output module 34.

[0056] The power module 31 is connected to the body assembly 20 via positive power supply terminal 41 and negative power supply terminal 42, transmitting electrical energy from the body assembly 20 to the controller assembly 30. The body assembly 20 typically includes components such as a motor, fan, and heater, requiring higher voltage. The controller assembly 30 typically includes components such as a screen, speaker 343, and microprocessor 32, requiring lower voltage. After receiving electrical energy from the body assembly 20, the power module 31 steps down the voltage to prevent excessive output voltage. The stepped-down energy is then transmitted to the power-consuming components in the controller assembly 30 via the power supply module 37, supplying power to these components. Figure 3 In the diagram, a solid line connects the power supply module 37 and the electrical components in the handle assembly 30, indicating that the power supply module 37 is electrically connected to the electrical components in the handle assembly 30. When the power supply module 31 is working, the power supply module 37 supplies power to the electrical components in the handle assembly 30.

[0057] In some embodiments, the power supply module 37 includes multiple output terminals 372, each with the same voltage. In other embodiments, the power supply module 37 includes multiple output terminals 372, each with a different voltage. This is because different components may require different voltages; for example, some components require 5V, while others require 3V. Therefore, output terminals 372 with different output voltages are needed to power multiple different components.

[0058] In this embodiment, the output module 34 includes a voice unit 341 and a screen unit 342, both of which are connected to the microprocessor 32. The voice unit 341 may also include a speaker 343. The voice unit 341 outputs sound feedback through the speaker 343, which can enhance the user's operating experience. The screen unit 342 outputs visual feedback information through the display screen, such as cleaning status, remaining battery power, and working mode, making it convenient for users to monitor the device's working status in real time. Both the voice unit 341 and the screen unit 342 are connected to the microprocessor 32, which controls the behavior of the output module 34 according to the device's state. When the device state changes, the microprocessor 32 decides when to play voice, display information, or update screen content.

[0059] exist Figure 3 In the diagram, a dashed line connects the microprocessor 32 and the components in the handle assembly 30, indicating that the microprocessor 32 and the components in the handle assembly 30 are connected by signals and can interact with each other.

[0060] The handle assembly 30 also includes a storage unit 38, which is connected to the microprocessor 32. When the screen unit 342 is an LCD display unit, the storage unit 38 is used to store the displayed data or images, and can output complex graphics or multi-line text displays to improve the display effect.

[0061] The input module 33 includes a button 331, which is connected to the microprocessor 32. The button 331 in the input module 33 serves as the physical interface for user interaction with the device. The user sends commands to the microprocessor 32 by pressing the button 331. The microprocessor 32 then interacts with the body assembly 20 via the communication terminal 43 to control the cleaning device 1 to perform specific operations. The handle assembly 30 also includes a wireless transmission unit 39, which is connected to the microprocessor 32. The wireless transmission unit 39 enables interconnection with a terminal device, facilitating control of the cleaning device 1 via the terminal device.
