Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sweeping robot technology, specifically relating to a mop drying device for sweeping robots. Background Technology
[0002] A mop drying device for a robotic vacuum cleaner is a device that can be integrated into the robotic vacuum cleaner or used independently. It is used to automatically or manually dry the mop after the cleaning task is completed, preventing the mop from growing bacteria or producing odors due to dampness. The device uses heating, ventilation or other technical means to quickly evaporate the moisture in the mop, ensuring that the mop is dry and clean, ready for the next use.
[0003] In existing technologies, most robotic vacuum cleaners use an integrated structure for their mop drying function, where the drying module is directly built into the robot. While this design saves space, it has significant drawbacks after prolonged use. First, a damp mop is difficult to dry completely inside the robot, which can easily breed bacteria and affect hygiene and safety. Second, residual moisture and stains on the mop may accumulate inside the robot, producing odors. Furthermore, the drying efficiency of the integrated structure is relatively low, and the mop may not be completely dry, leading to secondary pollution or reduced cleaning effectiveness. Therefore, a mop drying device for robotic vacuum cleaners is proposed. Utility Model Content

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0024] Example
[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a mop drying device for a sweeping robot, comprising:
[0026] The drying oven 101, the drying trough 102 located in the center of the drying oven 101, the placement component 103 located in the center of the drying trough 102, the operation cabinet 104 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying oven 101, the fixing groove 105 located on the inner surface of the operation cabinet 104, the deodorizing component 106 snapped into the center of the fixing groove 105, the drying fan 107 adapted to be installed on the surface of the operation cabinet 104, the protective door 108 hinged to the side wall of the drying oven 101, and the handle 109 fixedly installed on the side surface of the protective door 108.
[0027] The bottom of the drying oven 101 is connected to the end of the control cabinet 104, and the drying fan 107 is connected to both the control cabinet 104 and the drying oven 101.
[0028] The placement assembly 103 includes a partition 103a fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drying oven 101, a locking rod 103b fixedly installed on the side surface of the partition 103a, a placement plate 103c snapped into the side wall of the locking rod 103b, a slot 103d opened on the side surface of the placement plate 103c, and a support rod 103e in contact with the bottom of the placement plate 103c.
[0029] Multiple sets of partitions 103a, clamps 103b, and placement plates 103c are provided and are equidistantly arranged in the inner cavity of the drying oven 101. Through holes are provided on the surface of the placement plate 103c.
[0030] Specifically, firstly, the mop that needs to be dried is removed from the robot vacuum cleaner and placed on the placement component 103 inside the drying chamber 101. The placement component 103 includes multiple sets of partitions 103a, a lever 103b, and a placement plate 103c. The through holes on the surface of the placement plate 103c ensure air circulation, allowing the mop to be heated evenly. After the drying fan 107 is started, hot air is delivered to the drying chamber 101 through the control cabinet 104. The hot air circulates in the drying trough 102, quickly evaporating the moisture in the mop. The deodorizing component 106 at the bottom of the drying chamber 101 absorbs any odors that may be generated by moisture through the deodorizing block 106a, ensuring that there are no odor residues during the drying process. The design of the protective door 108 and the handle 109 makes it easy for users to open and close the drying chamber 101, making operation convenient. The connection between the drying fan 107 and the drying chamber 101 ensures efficient hot air circulation, while the design of multiple sets of placement plates 103c and through holes allows the mop to fully contact the hot air, achieving a fast and even drying effect.
[0031] The deodorizing component 106 includes a deodorizing block 106a, a mounting groove 106b formed on the side surface of the deodorizing block 106a, a snap-fit component 106c fixedly connected to the center of the mounting groove 106b, and a disassembly component 106d used in conjunction with the snap-fit component 106c.
[0032] The snap-fit component 106c includes a connecting rod 106c-1 fixedly connected to the center of the mounting groove 106b, a push plate 106c-2 sleeved on the side surface of the connecting rod 106c-1, a spring 106c-3 fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 106c-2, a snap-fit block 106c-4 fixedly connected to the other side of the push plate 106c-2, and elastic blocks 106c-5 fixedly installed on both sides of the snap-fit block 106c-4.
[0033] The disassembly component 106d includes a fixing post 106d-1 fixedly connected to the surface of the locking block 106c-4, a rotating plate 106d-2 sleeved on the side wall of the fixing post 106d-1, a bearing seat 106d-3 fixedly connected to the end of the rotating plate 106d-2, and a pull rod 106d-4 fixedly installed on the side surface of the bearing seat 106d-3.
[0034] It should be noted that, firstly, the deodorizing block 106a is fixed inside the control cabinet 104 by the snap-fit component 106c in the mounting slot 106b. When the deodorizing block 106a needs to be installed, the push plate 106c-2, under the action of the spring 106c-3, pushes out the snap-fit block 106c-4, making it snap-fitted into the slot 103d inside the control cabinet 104. The elastic block 106c-5 ensures the stability of the snap-fit. When the deodorizing block 106a needs to be replaced or maintained, the disassembly component 106d plays a crucial role. Function: By pulling the rotating plate 106d-2 with the pull rod 106d-4, the rotating plate 106d-2 rotates around the fixed column 106d-1, driving the bearing seat 106d-3 to move, thereby disengaging the locking block 106c-4 from the locking groove 103d, realizing the quick disassembly of the deodorizing block 106a, which makes the operation simple, ensuring the stable installation of the deodorizing component 106, and making it convenient for users to replace or clean the deodorizing block 106a regularly, ensuring the long-term efficient operation of the drying device and avoiding the generation of odors.
[0035] In use, firstly, remove the mop that needs to be dried from the robot vacuum cleaner and place it on the placement component 103 inside the drying chamber 101. The placement component 103 includes multiple sets of partitions 103a, a retaining rod 103b, and a placement plate 103c. The through holes on the surface of the placement plate 103c ensure air circulation, allowing the mop to be heated evenly. After the drying fan 107 is started, hot air is delivered into the drying chamber 101 through the control cabinet 104. The hot air circulates in the drying trough 102, quickly evaporating the moisture in the mop. The deodorizing component 106 at the bottom of the drying chamber 101 absorbs any remaining moisture through the deodorizing block 106a. To prevent odors from being generated, the design of the protective door 108 and handle 109 makes it easy for users to open and close the drying chamber 101, ensuring convenient operation. The locking component 106c of the deodorizing component 106 is securely installed through the cooperation of the spring 106c-3 and the locking block 106c-4. The disassembly component 106d, through the coordinated action of the pull rod 106d-4, the rotating plate 106d-2 and the bearing seat 106d-3, allows users to quickly disassemble and replace the deodorizing block 106a, ensuring long-term efficient operation of the device. This achieves rapid and uniform drying of the mop, preventing bacterial growth and odor generation.
[0036] In summary, the combined use of the drying chamber 101 and the drying fan 107 enables rapid drying of the mop. The multi-layered partitions 103a and through-hole design of the placement component 103 ensure even heating of the mop and prevent localized dampness. The introduction of the deodorizing component 106 effectively prevents odors caused by dampness in the mop, improving hygiene and safety. The protective door 108 and handle 109 make operation more convenient. The design of the snap-fit component 106c and the disassembly component 106d makes the replacement and maintenance of the deodorizing component 106 more convenient.
