Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clean electrical equipment, and more specifically, to clean components and electrical equipment. Background Technology
[0002] During the use of wet cleaning equipment, the motor starts working, driving the drum to rotate. Simultaneously, the water supply system of the floor scrubber also starts operating, delivering cleaning water or a mixture of cleaning solution and water from the clean water tank to the drum through pipes. As the rotating drum contacts the floor, it evenly spreads the cleaning solution, wetting the surface. The bristles or cleaning pads on the drum then rub against the dirt on the floor, separating the dirt from the surface.
[0003] After use or self-cleaning, the rollers of wet scrubbing equipment are usually quite damp. If the rollers remain damp for extended periods, bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms can easily grow on the dirt. The proliferation of microorganisms produces unpleasant odors, affecting subsequent cleaning effectiveness and indoor air quality. Furthermore, damp rollers are prone to damage to the roller materials (such as bristles and rubber). Prolonged exposure to a damp environment can cause bristles to deform and fall out, and rubber components may age and crack. For example, a common nylon bristle roller will become less flexible and more prone to breakage in a damp environment. Damaged rollers will affect the cleaning efficiency of the floor scrubber and require replacement, increasing operating costs. Therefore, the rollers need to be dried after use or self-cleaning. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a cleaning assembly having a roller that can be partially removed from the receiving cavity to facilitate roller drying.
[0005] One aspect of this disclosure provides a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes: a roller; a receiving cavity for receiving the roller and including: a first opening, a portion of the roller protruding from the first opening out of the receiving cavity for cleaning; and a second opening; and a cover configured to be moved, when driven, from a closed position that closes the second opening to an open position that opens the second opening, wherein the roller is configured to extend at least partially from the second opening out of the receiving cavity when the cover is in the open position.
[0006] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the cover can be moved from a closed position of the second opening to an open position that opens the second opening. When the cover is in the open position, an airflow channel is formed between the second opening and the first opening of the receiving cavity, allowing air to flow through the roller. At this time, the roller can also be moved at least partially from the second opening out of the receiving cavity, increasing the area of the roller in contact with the airflow, thereby accelerating the drying of the roller.
[0007] In some embodiments, a roller extension mechanism is also included, wherein the roller extension mechanism is configured to drive the roller to extend outside the receiving cavity. In such embodiments, the movement of the cleaning assembly from the receiving cavity to the outside is achieved by setting the roller.
[0008] In some embodiments, the roller extension mechanism is configured to drive the roller to rotate out of the receiving cavity. In such embodiments, the roller is capable of rotating about a support point, causing a portion of it to rotate out of the receiving cavity through a second opening.
[0009] In some embodiments, the roller extension mechanism includes a hinge, through which a first end of the roller is connected to a first sidewall of the receiving cavity, allowing the roller to rotate out of the receiving cavity about the hinge. In such embodiments, a support point is located at the end of the roller, enabling a greater portion of the roller to move out of the receiving cavity.
[0010] In some embodiments, the roller extension mechanism further includes a spring, a first end of which is connected to a first sidewall and a second end of which is connected to the roller, such that the roller is pulled by the spring to rotate about the hinge in a direction toward the second opening. In such embodiments, the roller is driven by providing a pre-stretched spring.
[0011] In some embodiments, the roller extension mechanism is configured to drive the roller to translate outside the receiving cavity. In such embodiments, both ends of the roller can move simultaneously, causing a portion of it to translate outside the receiving cavity through a second opening.
[0012] In some embodiments, the roller extension mechanism includes a sliding connection, through which a first end of the roller is connected to a first sidewall of the receiving cavity, and a second end of the roller is connected to a second sidewall of the receiving cavity, thereby enabling the roller to translate along the sliding connection. In such embodiments, by providing sliding connections at both ends of the roller, translation of the roller within the receiving cavity can be achieved.
[0013] In some embodiments, the roller extension mechanism further includes a spring configured to drive the roller to translate along the sliding connection. In such embodiments, the movement of the roller can be driven by providing a pre-tensioned spring.
[0014] In some embodiments, the roller extension mechanism further includes a stop configured to move between a first stop position and a first release position, wherein the stop abuts against the roller in the first stop position to prevent roller movement, and allows roller movement in the first release position. In such embodiments, by providing a stop, roller movement can be stopped and released, thereby controlling roller movement as needed.
[0015] In some embodiments, a stop is provided on the cover. In such an embodiment, the stop is in a first stop position, and when the cover moves to the open position, the stop moves accordingly to a first release position. When the stop is in the first release position, the roller will rotate upwards around the hinge under the pull of the spring. Finally, the roller reaches the extended position through the top. In this way, manual operation is further reduced, thereby improving the user experience.
[0016] In some embodiments, a first opening is formed at the bottom of the receiving cavity, and a second opening is formed at the top of the receiving cavity. In such embodiments, the first opening and the second opening are opposite each other, which enables airflow from top to bottom.
[0017] In some embodiments, the first opening is formed at the bottom of the receiving cavity, and the second opening is formed on the side wall of the receiving cavity. In such embodiments, the side wall may be the front wall, left side wall, and right side wall of the receiving cavity between the top and bottom.
[0018] A second aspect of this disclosure provides an electrical device. This electrical device includes a cleaning component according to a first aspect of this disclosure.
[0019] In some embodiments, the electrical equipment includes any of the following: a robot vacuum cleaner, a robot mop, a floor scrubber, a robot vacuum and mop combo, or a handheld electric mop.
[0020] The foregoing description of the various aspects and advantages of the cleaning components also applies accordingly to the electrical equipment according to this disclosure, and therefore will not be repeated here. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Unless otherwise specified, corresponding numbers and symbols in the different figures generally refer to corresponding areas. The figures are drawn to clearly illustrate relevant aspects of the embodiments and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The edges of features drawn in the figures do not necessarily indicate the termination of the feature range.
[0034] In the following description, various specific details are shown to provide a thorough understanding of various examples of embodiments according to the description. Embodiments may be obtained without one or more specific details, or by utilizing other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail so as not to obscure the various aspects of the embodiments.
[0035] References to "an embodiment" or "an implementation" within the framework of this specification are intended to indicate that a particular configuration, structure, or feature described with respect to that embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Therefore, phrases such as "in an embodiment," "in one embodiment," etc., that may appear in various aspects of this specification do not necessarily refer precisely to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific configurations, structures, or features may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
[0036] Unless otherwise stated, when referring to two elements connected together, it means that there is no direct connection without any intermediate elements, and when referring to two elements coupled together, it means that the two elements can be connected or they can be coupled via one or more other elements.
[0037] The title / reference numerals used herein are for readability purposes only and do not limit the scope of protection or the scope of embodiments. Identical or similar elements are identified using the same reference numerals.
[0038] As discussed above, the rollers of wet cleaning equipment need to be dried. In related technologies, two drying methods are typically used: natural drying and assisted drying. On the one hand, in natural drying schemes, the wet cleaning equipment is usually placed in a well-ventilated area to ensure free air circulation and accelerate the evaporation of moisture from the rollers. In some related technologies, the rollers can also be disassembled. After disassembly, the rollers can be laid flat in a well-ventilated drying location. This allows all parts of the rollers to fully contact the air.
[0039] On the other hand, in assisted drying solutions, the machine's built-in drying function is utilized. This function is usually achieved through an internal heating device or air circulation device. Once activated, the floor scrubber can automatically dry the rollers, which is convenient, quick, and produces a relatively even drying effect. However, natural air drying often takes a long time or is incomplete, resulting in poor drying. Assisted drying requires additional drying components, such as heating wires, which creates additional space and cost requirements.
[0040] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a solution in which the cover can be opened during drying and the roller can be partially moved out of the receiving cavity. In this solution, the receiving cavity of the cleaning assembly for receiving the roller has a first opening and a second opening. During the cleaning operation, the roller extends from the first opening to contact the surface to be cleaned, and the second opening is covered by the cover. After the cleaning operation is completed, the cover can be moved to an open position to open the second opening, at which point the roller can also be at least partially moved out of the receiving cavity from the second opening, increasing the area of the roller in contact with the airflow, thereby accelerating the drying of the roller.
[0041] The following will combine Figures 1A to 5B The structure and operating principle of the cleaning components according to embodiments of the present disclosure are described below. Figure 1A A schematic diagram of an example electrical device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in the closed state of the cover 300 is shown. Figure 1AAs shown, the electrical device 1 includes a cleaning assembly 10 for performing cleaning operations and auxiliary components 20 providing other functions. The auxiliary components 20 may include, for example, a travel component and a handle, etc. The cleaning assembly 10 includes a roller 100 and a receiving cavity 200 for accommodating the roller 100. The cleaning assembly 10 also includes a body 400. The receiving cavity 200 is disposed inside the body 400, and the roller 100 is rotatably supported in the receiving cavity 200 and extends from a first opening for cleaning the surface to be cleaned. During the cleaning operation, the electrical device 1 travels on the surface to be cleaned, and the roller 100 brushes the surface. The cleaning assembly 10 also includes a cover 300. The cover 300 is movable, when driven, from a closed position that closes a second opening to an open position that opens a top opening. It should be understood that the first opening is formed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 200 facing the surface to be cleaned, and is also referred to as a bottom opening. The second opening may be formed at the top of the receiving cavity 200 opposite to the bottom, or at a side wall perpendicular to the bottom. Figure 1A In the illustrated embodiment, the second opening is located at the top and is also referred to as the top opening. The cover 300 is rotatably mounted on the body 400 and is in the closed position.
[0042] exist Figure 1A In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 300 covers the second opening 220 of the receiving cavity 200. At this time, the electrical device 1 can perform cleaning operations without splashing liquid from the roller. The pivot mechanism 320 of the cover 300 includes a first pivot mechanism 320-1 disposed on the side edge of the first side wall 230 of the receiving cavity 200, and a second pivot mechanism 320-2 disposed on the side edge of the second side wall 240 of the receiving cavity 200. The structure of the pivot mechanism will be referred to later. Figure 4 To describe.
[0043] Figure 1B A schematic diagram of an example electrical device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown with the cover 300 open. Figure 1B As shown, the main body 400 includes a bottom 420 opposite to the surface to be cleaned, and a top 410 opposite to the bottom 420. A second opening of the receiving cavity 200 is formed in the top 410, and a first opening 420 is formed in the bottom 420. Figure 1B In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving cavity 200 includes a first opening 210 opening toward the surface to be cleaned, and a second opening 220 disposed on the top 410 of the body 400. Furthermore, the receiving cavity 200 also includes a first sidewall 230 and a second sidewall 240 for supporting the roller 100. Figure 1BIn the illustrated embodiment, the first sidewall 230 and the second sidewall 240 each protrude from the main body 400 and include a semi-circular front end. Thus, the lower edges of each of the first sidewall 230 and the second sidewall 240 define a first opening 210, i.e., the space between the edges of the first sidewall 230 and the second sidewall 240 facing the surface to be cleaned is the first opening 210. Correspondingly, the upper edges of each of the first sidewall 230 and the second sidewall 240 define a top opening, i.e., the space between the edges of the first sidewall 230 and the second sidewall 240 at the top of the main body 400 is the second opening 220. Furthermore, the space between the arcuate side edge 231 of the first sidewall 230 and the arcuate side edge (not shown in detail) of the second sidewall 240 opens outwards toward the receiving cavity 200, thereby increasing the opening area of the receiving cavity 200 and further enhancing the drying effect.
[0044] The cover 300 is in the open position. At this time, an airflow channel is formed between the top and bottom openings of the receiving cavity 200, allowing airflow through the roller 100, thereby accelerating the airflow velocity within the receiving cavity. It should be understood that although the cover 300 is configured to open and close in a rotating manner, the cover can also have other opening and closing methods. For example, the cover can be slidably positioned on top of the main body.
[0045] like Figure 1B As shown, the cleaning assembly also includes a locking mechanism 500. The locking mechanism 500 is capable of switching between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking mechanism 500 holds the cover 300 in a closed position, and in the unlocked state, it allows the cover 300 to move to an open position. Here, the locking mechanism 500 includes a sliding stop member 510. The sliding stop member 510 is disposed in the cover body 310 of the cover 300. The locking mechanism 500 also includes a fixing stop member 520. The fixing stop member 520 is disposed in the body 400 of the cleaning assembly 10. When the cover 300 is in the closed position, the sliding stop member 510 can slide to a second stop position. When the sliding stop member 510 is in the second stop position, a portion of the sliding stop member 510 enters a groove in the fixing stop member 520, for example, abutting against the lower edge of the groove, to prevent the cover 300 from moving toward the open position. Conversely, the sliding stop member 510 can be driven to move from the second stop position to a second release position. After the sliding limit member 510 moves to the second release position, the entire sliding limit member 510 is outside the fixed limit member 520, releasing contact with the fixed limit member 520. As a result, the cover portion 300 is released and can move.
[0046] The following will combine Figures 2A to 3C To describe the roller extension mechanism. Figure 2A A schematic diagram of an example electrical device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in the extended state of the drum 100 is shown. Figure 2A As shown, the cover 300 is in the open position, and the roller 100 is driven by the roller extension mechanism 600 to extend at least partially from the second opening 220 of the receiving cavity 200 outside the receiving cavity 200.
[0047] Figure 2B A schematic cross-sectional view of an example cleaning assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in the state where the roller 100 is not extended. The roller extension mechanism 600 may be configured on either the first sidewall 230 or the second sidewall 240 adjacent to the receiving cavity 200. Figure 2B As shown, a roller extension mechanism 600 is disposed on a first sidewall 230. The roller extension mechanism 600 includes a hinge portion 610. A first end of the roller 100 is connected to the first sidewall 230 of the receiving cavity 200 via the hinge portion 610. The roller extension mechanism 600 also includes a spring 620. A first end of the spring 620 is connected to the first sidewall 230, and a second end of the spring 620 is connected to the roller 100. Furthermore, the roller extension mechanism 600 includes a stop member 630. The stop member 630 is positioned adjacent to a second sidewall 240 opposite to the first sidewall 230 and is configured to move between a first stop position and a first release position when operated.
[0048] exist Figure 2B In this embodiment, a stop 630 is disposed on the cover 300. In this embodiment, when the cover 300 is in the closed position, the stop 630 is in a first stop position, and when the cover 300 moves to the open position, the stop 630 moves accordingly to a first release position. When the stop 630 is in the first release position, the roller 100 will rotate around the hinge 610 toward the second opening 220 under the pull of the spring 620. Finally, the roller 100 reaches the extended position through the second opening 220. At the extended position, the torque formed by the gravity acting on the roller 100 is equal to the torque formed by the tension of the spring 620, so that the roller 100 is stable in the extended position.
[0049] Figure 2C A schematic cross-sectional view of an example cleaning assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in the extended state of the roller 100. Figure 2C As shown, roller 100 is stable in the extended position. According to... Figures 2A to 2C In the illustrated embodiment, after the user unlocks the locking mechanism 500, the cover 300 moves to the open position via a rotating shaft mechanism under the action of the first return spring. Simultaneously, the stop 630 moves to the first release position, so that the abutment portion 110 of the roller 100, which mates with the stop, is no longer compressed, and thus moves to the extended position under the action of the spring 620. In the extended position, the drying speed is increased because a larger area of the roller 100 contacts the airflow.
[0050] Apart from Figures 2A to 2C In addition to the rotation scheme shown, the roller 100 can also be moved outside the receiving cavity 200 by translation. Figure 3A A schematic diagram of an example electrical device 1 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure in the extended state of the drum 100 is shown. Figure 3A As shown, the cover 300 is in the open position, and the roller 100 is driven by the roller extension mechanism 700 to extend at least partially from the second opening 220 of the receiving cavity 200 outside the receiving cavity 200.
[0051] Figure 3B A schematic cross-sectional view of an example cleaning assembly 10 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure is shown with the roller 100 in an extended state. Figure 3B As shown, the roller extension mechanism 700 includes a first portion disposed on a first sidewall 230 of the receiving cavity 200 and a second portion disposed on a second sidewall 240. Figure 3B The first part of the roller extension mechanism 700 shown includes a first sliding connection portion 710-1, and the second part includes a second sliding connection portion 710-2. The first sliding connection portion 710-1 includes a slider 711-1 disposed at a first end of the roller 100 and a slide rail 712-1 disposed on the first side wall 230. The slider 711-1 at the first end can slide vertically on the slide rail 712-1. Correspondingly, the second sliding connection portion 710-2 includes a slider 711-2 disposed at a second end of the roller 100 and a slide rail 712-2 disposed on the second side wall 240. The slider 711-2 at the second end can slide vertically on the slide rail 712-2. Thus, the roller 100 can be moved from the receiving cavity 200 to outside the receiving cavity 200 via the sliding connection portion 710, or moved from outside the receiving cavity 200 back into the receiving cavity 200.
[0052] The roller extension mechanism 700 also includes springs 720-1 and 720-2 as drive units. A first end of spring 720-1 abuts against slider 711-1, and its second end abuts against slide rail 712-1. Correspondingly, a first end of spring 720-2 abuts against slider 711-2, and its second end abuts against slide rail 712-2. Furthermore, the roller extension mechanism 700 also includes a stop 730. The stop 730 is disposed on the underside of the cover portion 300 and is configured to move between a first stop position and a first release position when operated.
[0053] Figure 3C A schematic cross-sectional view of an example cleaning assembly 10 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure is shown with the roller 100 in an extended state. (See also...) Figure 3C As shown, roller 100 is stable in the extended position. According to... Figures 3A to 3CIn the illustrated embodiment, after the user unlocks the locking mechanism 500, the cover 300 moves to the open position via a rotating shaft mechanism under the action of the first return spring. Simultaneously, the stop 730 moves to the first release position, freeing the roller 100 from compression, and thus allows it to move to the extended position under the action of springs 720-1 and 720-2. In the extended position, the drying speed is increased because a larger area of the roller 100 contacts the airflow.
[0054] Figure 4 A schematic cross-sectional view of the pivot mechanism 320 of an example cover 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Since the first pivot mechanism 320-1 and the second pivot mechanism 320-2 are symmetrical, the structure of the pivot mechanism 320 will be described below using one pivot mechanism as an example. The pivot mechanism 320 includes a support frame 321. The support frame 321 extends from the cover 310 in a direction perpendicular to the cover 310 toward the receiving cavity 200 and has a through hole in its middle. Correspondingly, a protrusion 250 is provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 200. The protrusion 250 extends from the side wall of the receiving cavity 200 in a direction toward the cover 300 and also has a through hole in its middle. The support frame 321 is fitted onto the protrusion 250 such that the through hole of the support frame 321 is aligned with the through hole of the protrusion 250. The pivot mechanism 320 also includes a pivot 322. The pivot 322 passes through the through hole of the support frame 321 and the through hole of the protrusion 250, and is thus supported on the support frame 321. The cover 300 is hinged to the side wall of the receiving cavity 200 via the pivot mechanism 320.
[0055] Furthermore, the rotating shaft mechanism 320 also includes a first return spring 323. The first return spring 323 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 322 of the rotating shaft mechanism 320, and the first end of the first return spring 323 abuts against the side wall of the receiving cavity 200, which is part of the main body 400. The second end abuts against the cover 310. In this way, by providing the return spring, the cover can automatically move to the open position under the drive of the return spring when it is unlocked.
[0056] The following will combine Figure 5A and Figure 5B To describe the structure and operating principle of the locking mechanism. Figure 5A A schematic cross-sectional view of an example electrical device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in the closed state of the cover 300. (See figure) Figure 5A As shown, the locking mechanism 500 of the cleaning component 10 includes symmetrical sliding limit member 510-1 and fixed limit member 520-1, as well as sliding limit member 510-2 and fixed limit member 520-2.
[0057] A sliding limit member 510-1 is positioned adjacent to the first sidewall 230 of the receiving cavity 200, and a fixed limit member 520-1 is positioned on the first sidewall 230 of the receiving cavity 200. The sliding limit member 510-1 extends from a first end 511-1 adjacent to the first sidewall 230 of the receiving cavity 200 toward the center in a direction parallel to the axis A of the roller 100 to a second end 512-1. The second end 512-1 abuts against the second return spring 530-1.
[0058] The fixed limiting member 520-1 includes a groove for receiving the first end 511-1 of the sliding limiting member 510-1. Figure 5A In the embodiment shown, the first end 511-1 of the sliding limit member 510-1 abuts against the lower edge of the groove of the fixed limit member 520-1, so that the cover 310 cannot rotate in a direction away from the surface to be cleaned.
[0059] Correspondingly, the sliding limit member 510-2 is positioned adjacent to the second sidewall 240 of the receiving cavity 200, and the fixed limit member 520-2 is positioned on the second sidewall 240 of the receiving cavity 200. The sliding limit member 510-2 extends from a first end 511-2 to a second end 512-2 in a direction parallel to the axis A of the roller 100, from the second sidewall 240 adjacent to the receiving cavity 200. The second end 512-2 abuts against the second return spring 530-2.
[0060] The fixed limiting member 520-2 includes a groove for receiving the first end 511-2 of the sliding limiting member 510-2. Figure 5A In the embodiment shown, the first end 511-2 of the sliding limit member 510-2 abuts against the lower edge of the groove of the fixed limit member 520-1, so that the cover 310 cannot rotate in a direction away from the surface to be cleaned.
[0061] Furthermore, for ease of operation, the sliding limit member 510-1 also includes a groove 540-1, and the sliding limit member 510-2 also includes a groove 540-2. Grooves 540-1 and 540-2 are used to accommodate the user's finger, allowing the user to press the sliding limit members 510-1 and 510-2 towards the center, thereby causing the first ends 511-1 of the sliding limit member 510-1 and 511-2 of the sliding limit member 510-2 to simultaneously move out of the grooves of the fixed limit members 520-1 and 520-2. Without user operation, the sliding limit members 510-1 and 510-2 move towards the fixed limit members 520-1 and 520-2 under the action of the second return spring 530-1 and the second return spring 530-2, respectively, and eventually move into the grooves of the fixed limit members 520-1 and 520-2.
[0062] Figure 5B A schematic cross-sectional view of an example electrical device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown with the cover 300 open.
