The fool-proof structure has a first state and a second state, in the first state, the fool-proof structure partially extends into the mounting bin and abuts against the hinge piece, and in the second state, the fool-proof structure moves out of the mounting bin and is separated from the hinge piece. Therefore, when the cleaning basket is moved out of the mounting bin, the fool-proof structure is in the first state, and the fool-proof structure abuts against the hinge piece, so that the cover body cannot be linked with the hinge piece to rotate and cover the mounting bin, a user can be reminded to mount the cleaning basket in time, and the situation that the user starts the cleaning robot under the condition that the cleaning basket is not mounted is avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of robotics, and more particularly to a cleaning robot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pool robots are widely used as automated cleaning equipment in pool cleaning. However, in actual use, users often forget to properly place the cleaning basket back inside the pool robot. This operational error can cause debris sucked up by the pool robot during underwater cleaning to flow directly into the robot's motor housing. The motor housing typically houses precision components such as the motor output shaft and transmission gears. If debris flows near the motor housing, it can cause serious damage to these components, affecting the robot's normal operation and shortening its lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a cleaning robot that can remind users to install a cleaning basket inside the cleaning robot in a timely manner, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The cleaning robot provided in the first aspect of this application includes a body, a cover, and a hinge. The body has an installation compartment for installing a cleaning basket. The cover is rotatably connected to the opening of the installation compartment via the hinge. The cleaning robot also includes a foolproof structure, which is movably connected to the body. The foolproof structure has a first state and a second state. In the first state, part of the foolproof structure extends into the installation compartment and abuts against the hinge. In the second state, the foolproof structure moves out of the installation compartment and separates from the hinge.

[0005] Therefore, in this application, when the cleaning basket is removed from the installation compartment, the foolproof structure is in its first state, abutting against the hinge, preventing the cover from rotating and closing the installation compartment. This reminds the user to install the cleaning basket in a timely manner, preventing the user from closing the cover and starting the cleaning robot without installing the cleaning basket, thus protecting the cleaning robot and extending its service life. When the cleaning basket is placed into the installation compartment, the basket can push the foolproof structure out of the compartment, putting the foolproof structure in its second state, allowing the cover to close.

[0006] In some embodiments, the foolproof structure includes a top abutting part and a pressure-receiving part. When the foolproof structure is in a first state, the top abutting part abuts against the hinge and the pressure-receiving part extends into the mounting chamber. When the foolproof structure is in a second state, the top abutting part separates from the hinge and the pressure-receiving part moves out of the mounting chamber.

[0007] Therefore, the top abutment can abut against the hinge located above the top abutment, and the pressure-bearing part can at least partially extend into the installation chamber. During the installation of the cleaning basket into the installation chamber, the outer wall of the cleaning basket will abut against the pressure-bearing part. The pressure of pressing the cleaning basket down will be transmitted to the pressure-bearing part, forcing the pressure-bearing part to retract and gradually move out of the installation chamber. During the retraction of the pressure-bearing part, the positional relationship between the top abutment and the hinge changes, and the top abutment and the hinge will gradually separate. When the cleaning basket is installed in place in the installation chamber, the pressure-bearing part will completely move out of the installation chamber, and the top abutment will completely separate from the hinge. Therefore, the hinge can rotate relative to its rotation center, and the cover can normally close the installation chamber.

[0008] In some embodiments, the foolproof structure includes a rotating shaft located at the end where the foolproof structure is connected to the fuselage. The wall of the mounting compartment has a through-hole, and the rotating shaft is connected to the outer wall of the mounting compartment. When the foolproof structure is in the first state, it partially passes through the through-hole and extends into the mounting compartment.

[0009] Therefore, in this application, by setting a rotating shaft on the foolproof structure and placing the rotating shaft at the end where the foolproof structure is connected to the machine body, the foolproof structure can rotate relative to the rotating shaft, thereby realizing the transition between the first state and the second state of the foolproof structure. Moreover, the connection stability of the rotating shaft is better, the structure is more reliable, and the overall durability of the foolproof structure is better.

[0010] In some embodiments, the hinge passes through the through-hole, with one end of the hinge rotatably connected to the inner wall of the body and the other end connected to the cover.

[0011] Therefore, in this application, not only can part of the anti-foolproof structure pass through the through-hole, but the hinge also passes through the through-hole. Thus, when the anti-foolproof structure rotates to the first state, it can abut against the hinge, and when it rotates to the second state, it can separate from the hinge, thereby restricting the movement of the hinge through the anti-foolproof structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the through-hole extends vertically, and the hinge is located above the foolproof structure.

[0013] Therefore, in this application, the foolproof structure and the hinge are in an up-down position relationship. The hinge can move within the through opening, and the foolproof structure can also move relative to the through opening, thereby realizing the transformation and limitation of the relative positions of the hinge and the foolproof structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, a limiting member is provided at the through-hole, and a limiting part is provided in the foolproof structure. When the foolproof structure is in the first state, the limiting part abuts against the limiting member to allow the foolproof structure to extend into the preset position of the installation chamber.

[0015] Therefore, the foolproof structure can be limited by the limiting component to prevent the foolproof structure from extending too far out of the through-hole, which could cause the foolproof structure to get stuck with the cleaning basket.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the hinge is arc-shaped. When the foolproof structure is in the first state, the arc-shaped opening of the hinge faces the rear of the cleaning robot. When the foolproof structure is in the second state, the arc-shaped opening of the hinge faces the top of the cleaning robot.

[0017] Therefore, in this application, the hinge can be arranged in an arc shape, and can achieve contact with or separation from the anti-foolproof structure during rotation relative to the rotation center.

[0018] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the mounting compartment is configured with two spaced-apart mounting portions, and a foolproof structure is located between the two mounting portions and rotatably connected to them.

[0019] Therefore, the installation and connection stability of the foolproof structure can be improved in this application.

[0020] In some embodiments, the foolproof structure is provided with an elastic element, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft. One end of the elastic element abuts against the foolproof structure, and the other end of the elastic element abuts against the outer wall of the installation chamber.

[0021] Thus, the elastic element can be compressed when the anti-foolproof structure is in the second state, and during the elastic recovery process, it can force the anti-foolproof structure to switch back to the first state, thereby achieving elastic reset. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the cleaning robot 100 in the embodiment of this application with the flip-top assembly 40 in the open state. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the cleaning robot 100 from another perspective. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The image shows a partially exploded view of the cleaning robot 100 from another perspective. The cleaning robot 100 can be, but is not limited to, a pool robot, a floor cleaning robot, etc. A pool robot can be used to clean the bottom and walls of a swimming pool, while a floor cleaning robot can be used to clean the floor. In this embodiment, the cleaning robot 100 is a pool robot.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cleaning robot 100 includes a body 20, a walking assembly 30, a flip-top assembly 40, a cleaning basket 50, a water pump assembly (not shown), and a cleaning brush assembly 70. The walking assembly 30 is mounted on opposite sides of the body 20. The body 20 has recesses forming a mounting chamber 21 and a water pump chamber. The cleaning basket 50 is detachably mounted within the mounting chamber 21. The flip-top assembly 40 is rotatably connected to the opening of the mounting chamber 21 of the body 20; the flip-top assembly 40 can close onto the mounting chamber 21, or it can be opened relative to the mounting chamber 21. The water pump assembly is mounted within the water pump chamber. The cleaning brush assembly 70 is mounted on the front and / or rear sides of the body 20. The cleaning brush assembly 70 is used to brush away dust, leaves, and other debris adhering to the bottom or walls of the pool, causing this debris to mix into the pool water. The water pump assembly then uses negative pressure to draw the pool water mixed with debris into the cleaning basket 50 through the suction port at the bottom of the cleaning basket 50. The water pump assembly continues to use negative pressure to draw the pool water in the cleaning basket 50 out through the side wall of the cleaning basket 50 and discharge it through the outlet 60. The debris in the pool water remains in the cleaning basket 50, thus cleaning the debris in the pool.

[0042] Please refer to this as well. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the assembly of the flip-top assembly 40 and the foolproof structure 10 of the cleaning robot 100 in this embodiment. The flip-top assembly 40 includes a cover 41 and a hinge 42. The cover 41 is rotatably connected to the opening of the mounting compartment 21 via the hinge 42. The cleaning robot 100 also includes the foolproof structure 10, which is movably connected to the body 20. The foolproof structure 10 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the foolproof structure 10 extends relative to the body 20 and at least partially extends into the mounting compartment 21, abutting against the hinge 42. In the second state, the foolproof structure 10 retracts relative to the body 20, moves out of the mounting compartment 21, and separates from the hinge 42. The foolproof structure 10 is in the second state when the cleaning basket 50 is installed in the mounting compartment 21, and in the first state when the cleaning basket 50 is removed from the mounting compartment 21. Figure 4 In the middle, the foolproof structure 10 is in the first state.

[0043] Therefore, in this application, when the cleaning basket 50 is removed from the installation chamber 21, the foolproof structure 10 is in its first state, abutting against the hinge 42, preventing the hinge 42 from rotating. Consequently, the cover 41 cannot close the installation chamber 21, reminding the user to install the cleaning basket 50 in a timely manner. This prevents the user from closing the cover 41 and starting the cleaning robot 100 without installing the cleaning basket 50, thus protecting the cleaning robot 100 and extending its service life. When the cleaning basket 50 is placed into the installation chamber 21, the cleaning basket 50 can push the foolproof structure 10 out of the installation chamber 21, placing the foolproof structure 10 in its second state, thereby enabling the cover 41 to close.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the fuselage 20 includes a lower shell assembly 201 and an upper shell assembly 202. The traveling assembly 30 is mounted on opposite sides of the lower shell assembly 201. The upper shell assembly 202 is mounted on the lower shell assembly 201. The upper shell assembly 202 is recessed to form a mounting compartment 21.

[0045] For ease of description, define Figure 4 The cleaning robot 100 shown is oriented along the Y-axis (front-back), the X-axis (left-right), and the Z-axis (height). The directional terms such as "top," "bottom," "left," and "right" used in the description of the cleaning robot 100 in this application are based on the accompanying drawings. Figure 4 The directions shown are described with "top" towards the positive Z-axis, "bottom" towards the negative Z-axis, "left" towards the negative X-axis, "right" towards the positive X-axis, "back" towards the negative Y-axis, and "front" towards the positive Y-axis. This does not constitute a limitation on the actual application scenario of the cleaning robot 100.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the foolproof structure 10 includes a top abutment 101 and a pressure-receiving portion 102. When the foolproof structure 10 is in a first state, the top abutment 101 abuts against the hinge 42, and the pressure-receiving portion 102 extends at least partially into the mounting chamber 21. When the foolproof structure 10 is in a second state, the top abutment 101 separates from the hinge 42, and the pressure-receiving portion 102 moves out of the mounting chamber 21.

[0047] from Figure 4 As can be seen, the abutment 101 is located above the pressure-bearing part 102 and below the hinge 42. The hinge 42 is a generally arc-shaped curved hinge. When the abutment 101 abuts against the lower part of the hinge 42, it restricts the rotational movement of the hinge 42 relative to its rotation center, thus preventing it from moving the cover 41 together with the cover relative to the rotation center to close the mounting chamber 21. When the abutment 101 is offset from the hinge 42, the abutment 101 can no longer restrict the rotational movement of the hinge 42 relative to its rotation center, and the hinge 42 can move the cover 41 together with the cover relative to the rotation center to close the mounting chamber 21.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the foolproof structure 10 in the embodiments of this application from a first-view perspective. Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the foolproof structure 10 in the embodiments of this application from a second perspective. Figure 7This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the foolproof structure 10 in the embodiment of this application from a third-person perspective. The foolproof structure 10 also includes a main body 104, which is generally rectangular in shape, and a top surface 101 that is an upwardly convex surface relative to the main body 104. The pressure-bearing part 102 is a contact surface that protrudes forward relative to the main body 104.

[0049] Thus, the abutting plane of the top 101 can abut against the hinge 42 located above the top 101, and the pressure-bearing part 102 can at least partially extend into the installation chamber 21. During the installation of the cleaning basket 50 into the installation chamber 21, the outer wall of the cleaning basket 50 will abut against the pressure-bearing part 102. The pressure of pressing down on the cleaning basket 50 will be transmitted to the pressure-bearing part 102, forcing the pressure-bearing part 102 to retract and gradually move out of the installation chamber 21. During the retraction of the pressure-bearing part 102, the positional relationship between the top 101 and the hinge 42 changes, and the top 101 and the hinge 42 will gradually separate. When the cleaning basket 50 is installed in place in the installation chamber 21, the pressure-bearing part 102 will completely move out of the installation chamber 21, and the top 101 will completely separate from the hinge 42. Therefore, the hinge 42 can rotate relative to its rotation center, and the cover 41 can normally cover the installation chamber 21.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first state in which at least a portion of the pressure-bearing portion 102 of the foolproof structure 10 extends into the mounting chamber 21 and the second state in which the pressure-bearing portion 102 of the foolproof structure 10 retracts and moves out of the mounting chamber 21 can both be achieved with the assistance of an elastic element. That is, when the elastic element is elastically reset, the foolproof structure 10 is in the first state in which at least a portion of the pressure-bearing portion 102 extends into the mounting chamber 21, and when the elastic element is elastically compressed, the foolproof structure 10 is in the second state in which the pressure-bearing portion 102 retracts and moves out of the mounting chamber 21. For example, the foolproof structure 10 and the upper shell assembly 202 are elastically connected by an elastic element. After the elastic element is elastically reset, at least a portion of the pressure-bearing portion 102 of the foolproof structure 10 extends relative to the fuselage 20 and extends into the mounting chamber 21 and abuts against the hinge 42. After the elastic element is elastically compressed, the pressure-bearing portion 102 of the foolproof structure 10 retracts relative to the fuselage 20 and moves out of the mounting chamber 21 and separates from the hinge 42.

[0051] In other embodiments, the first state in which at least a portion of the pressure-bearing portion 102 of the foolproof structure 10 extends into the mounting chamber 21 and the second state in which the pressure-bearing portion 102 of the foolproof structure 10 retracts and moves out of the mounting chamber 21 can be achieved by a rotating shaft. Specifically, please refer to... Figures 4 to 7The foolproof structure 10 includes a rotating shaft 103, which is located at the end where it connects to the fuselage 20. Specifically, the rotating shaft 103 of the foolproof structure 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mounting compartment 21. The foolproof structure 10 swings back and forth around the rotating shaft 103. The pressure-bearing part 102 rotates forward relative to the rotating shaft 103 and at least partially extends out relative to the fuselage 20, entering the mounting compartment 21 and abutting the hinge 42. At this time, the foolproof structure 10 is in the first state. When the pressure-bearing part 102 swings backward relative to the rotating shaft 103, retracts relative to the fuselage 20, moves out of the mounting compartment 21, and separates from the hinge 42, the foolproof structure 10 is in the second state. The back and forth direction is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the forward and backward directions can be the Y-axis direction, with the positive Y-axis direction being forward and the negative Y-axis direction being backward.

[0052] Therefore, in this application, by setting a rotating shaft 103 on the foolproof structure 10 and placing the rotating shaft 103 at the end where the foolproof structure 10 is connected to the body 20, the foolproof structure 10 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 103, thus realizing the transition between the first state and the second state of the foolproof structure 10. Moreover, the connection stability of the rotating shaft 103 is better, the structure is more reliable, and the overall durability of the foolproof structure 10 is better.

[0053] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the main body 104 includes a top and a bottom disposed opposite each other, and a front portion facing the side of the storage wall 2022. The top abutment 101, the pressure-bearing portion 102, and the rotation shaft 103 are respectively connected to the top, front, and bottom of the main body 104. That is, the rotation shaft 103 and the top abutment 101 are located at opposite ends of the foolproof structure 10, and the pressure-bearing portion 102 is located between the top abutment 101 and the rotation shaft 103.

[0054] Therefore, in this application, the top 101, the pressure-bearing part 102 and the rotating shaft 103 are respectively connected to the top, front and bottom of the main body 104, which simplifies the structural design of the foolproof structure 10.

[0055] In some embodiments, the abutment 101 protrudes from the top of the main body 104. An L-shaped step structure is formed between the abutment 101 and the top of the main body 104.

[0056] Therefore, in this application, while ensuring that the top 101 can abut against the hinge 42, the material used in the top 101 structure is reduced, and the space occupied by the top 101 is reduced, which can provide more space for the installation of other structures.

[0057] In some embodiments, the pressure-bearing portion 102 is located at the front of the main body portion 104 facing the bin wall 2022 and is triangular in shape, and the pressure-bearing portion 102 includes a wedge-shaped upper surface 1021.

[0058] Therefore, in this application, the pressure-receiving part 102 includes a wedge-shaped upper surface 1021. When the outer wall of the cleaning basket 50 contacts the upper surface 1021 of the pressure-receiving part 102, the cleaning basket 50 can more easily push the pressure-receiving part 102 to retract, avoiding jamming.

[0059] In some embodiments, the upper surface 1021 of the wedge is spaced apart from the abutment 101, and a limiting portion 105 is formed between the upper surface 1021 of the wedge and the abutment 101. The structure of the limiting portion 105 will be described in detail later.

[0060] In some embodiments, the pressure-receiving portion 102 further includes a wedge-shaped lower surface 1022. The wedge-shaped upper surface 1021 and the wedge-shaped lower surface 1022 form a triangular protrusion. The first surface 1042 of the main body portion 104, which is opposite to the pressure-receiving portion 102, intersects with the wedge-shaped lower surface 1022. The rotation shaft 103 is located at the bottom end of the main body portion 104, and the rotation shaft 103 is located inside the intersection of the first surface 1042 and the lower surface 1022.

[0061] Therefore, the external structure of the foolproof structure 10 can be simplified in this application.

[0062] In some embodiments, from Figure 6 It can be seen that the right side of the anti-foolproof structure 10 has a cutout, the pressure-bearing part 102 has a cutout with a first cutout area 1023 inside, and the main body part 104 also has a cutout with a second cutout area 1041 inside. The first cutout area 1023 and the second cutout area 1041 are connected, and from... Figure 6 It can be seen that the depth of the first hollowed-out area 1023 of the pressure-bearing part 102 is greater than the depth of the second hollowed-out area 1041 of the main body part 104. Therefore, the first hollowed-out area 1023 of the pressure-bearing part 102 and the second hollowed-out area 1041 of the main body part 104 form a stepped structure.

[0063] Therefore, the interior of the pressure-bearing part 102 is hollowed out and has a first hollowed-out area 1023, and the interior of the main body part 104 is also hollowed out and has a second hollowed-out area 1041, so that the overall wall thickness of the anti-foolproof structure 10 is uniform, thus making it less prone to shrinkage and deformation during injection molding.

[0064] In some embodiments, from Figure 5 and Figure 7 As can be seen, a third hollow area 1043 is also provided on the other side of the main body 104, and the third hollow area 1043 is arranged opposite to the second hollow area 1041. This other side of the main body 104 forms an L-shaped structure 1044, and avoids the structure of the rotation axis 103. The function of the third hollow area 1043 will be described in detail later.

[0065] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 103 protrudes from the main body 104 and the pressure-bearing part 102 on both the left and right sides, so that the rotating shaft 103 can be rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mounting chamber 21 without interference.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of the cleaning robot 100 in this embodiment. A through-hole 2021 is provided on the wall 2022 of the mounting chamber 21. A pressure-bearing part 102 is used to extend into the mounting chamber 21 through the through-hole 2021 when the anti-foolproof structure 10 is in a first state, and to retract into the through-hole 2021 when the anti-foolproof structure 10 is in a second state. A hinge 42 passes through the through-hole 2021. One end of the hinge 42 is rotatably connected to the inner sidewall of the body 20, and the other end is connected to the cover 41.

[0067] Therefore, in this application, not only can the pressure-bearing part 102 of the foolproof structure 10 pass through the through-hole 2021, but the hinge 42 also passes through the through-hole 2021. Thus, when the foolproof structure 10 rotates to the first state, it can abut against the hinge 42, and when it rotates to the second state, it can separate from the hinge 42, thereby restricting the movement of the hinge 42 through the foolproof structure 10.

[0068] In some embodiments, the through-hole 2021 extends in a vertical direction, and the hinge 42 is located above the foolproof structure 10, wherein the vertical direction refers to a direction that is approximately parallel to the Z-axis.

[0069] Therefore, in this application, the foolproof structure 10 and the hinge 42 are in an up-down position relationship. The hinge 42 can move within the through opening 2021, and the foolproof structure 10 can also move relative to the through opening 2021, thereby realizing the change and limitation of the relative position of the hinge 42 and the foolproof structure 10.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cross-section of the hinge 42 is arc-shaped. When the anti-foolproof structure 10 is in the first state, the cover 41 is opposite to the opening of the mounting chamber 21, and the arc-shaped opening of the hinge 42 faces the rear of the cleaning robot 100. When the anti-foolproof structure 10 is in the second state, the cover 41 is closed to the opening of the mounting chamber 21, and the arc-shaped opening of the hinge 42 faces the top of the cleaning robot 100.

[0071] Therefore, in this application, the hinge 42 can be arranged in an arc shape, which can abut against or separate from the anti-foolproof structure 10 during the rotation of the relative rotation center.

[0072] The following will refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The following describes the elastic reset structure of the foolproof structure 10. The foolproof structure 10 uses an elastic element 106 to achieve elastic reset. Specifically, in some embodiments, the foolproof structure 10 further includes an elastic element 106, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 103. One end of the elastic element 106 abuts against the foolproof structure 10, and the other end of the elastic element 106 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting chamber 21.

[0073] Thus, the elastic element 106 can be compressed when the foolproof structure 10 is in the second state, and force the foolproof structure 10 to switch to the first state during the elastic recovery process, thereby achieving elastic reset.

[0074] In some embodiments, the elastic element 106 is a torsion spring, sleeved on the rotating shaft 103. One arm of the torsion spring is fixed within the third hollow area 1043, and the other arm can be fixed to the upper shell assembly 202. During the installation of the cleaning basket 50 into the mounting chamber 21, the cleaning basket 50 presses down on the wedge-shaped upper surface 1021 of the pressure-bearing part 102, causing the entire anti-foolproof structure 10 to rotate counterclockwise around the rotating shaft 103, and the pressure-bearing part 102 retracts into the through-hole 2021. Here, counterclockwise refers to... Figure 9 The direction indicated by arrow D. Conversely, when the cleaning basket 50 is removed from the mounting chamber 21, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring causes the entire anti-foolproof structure 10 to rotate clockwise around the rotation axis 103 and reset. The pressure-bearing part 102 passes through the through-hole 2021 and partially extends into the mounting chamber 21, abutting against the top 101 and the hinge 42. Here, clockwise direction refers to the direction relative to... Figure 10 The direction indicated by the middle arrow D is opposite to the direction indicated by the middle arrow D.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the outer wall of the mounting compartment 21 has two spaced-apart mounting portions 2023, and the foolproof structure 10 is located between the two mounting portions 2023 and rotatably connected to them. A pressure-bearing portion 102 is provided on the side of the main body 104 facing the compartment wall 2022 and corresponds to the through opening 2021. Specifically, the rotation shaft 103 of the foolproof structure 10 is rotatably connected to the two mounting portions 2023.

[0076] Therefore, the installation and connection stability of the foolproof structure 10 can be improved in this application.

[0077] Please refer to this again. Figure 6 and Figure 8 A limiting member 2024 is provided at the through-hole 2021, and a limiting part 105 is provided at the foolproof structure 10. When the foolproof structure 10 is in the first state, the limiting part 105 abuts against the limiting member 2024 so that the foolproof structure 10 extends into the preset position of the installation chamber 21.

[0078] Therefore, the foolproof structure 10 can be limited by the limiting member 2024 to prevent the foolproof structure 10 from extending too far out of the through opening 2021, which would cause the foolproof structure 10 to get stuck with the cleaning basket 50.

[0079] The following describes the operation of the foolproof structure 10.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 ,in, Figure 12 and Figure 13 This diagram illustrates the state in which the foolproof structure 10 is retracted relative to the fuselage 20, removed from the mounting compartment 21, and separated from the hinge 42 when the foolproof structure 10 is in its second state. Figure 14 and Figure 15 A schematic diagram showing the state in which the foolproof structure 10 extends relative to the fuselage 20 and partially extends into the mounting compartment 21, abutting against the hinge 42. From Figure 12 and Figure 13 It can be seen that the foolproof structure 10 rotates rearward relative to the rotation axis 103, that is, it rotates counterclockwise in the direction D, and moves out of the mounting chamber 21 and separates from the hinge 42. The cover 41 can be linked with the hinge 42 to close onto the mounting chamber 21. Figure 14 and Figure 15 It can be seen that the anti-foolproof structure 10 rotates forward relative to the rotation axis 103 and resets, that is, it rotates and resets in the clockwise direction E, and is limited by the limiting member 2024 and abuts against the hinge member 42, so the cover 41 cannot be closed on the mounting chamber 21.
