Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of window cleaning machine technology, and specifically relates to a sealing ring. Background Technology
[0002] Window cleaning machines need to be in close contact with the glass surface to perform cleaning operations. Therefore, window cleaning machines must have good sealing performance. As one of the key components of window cleaning machines, the sealing strip mainly fills the gap between the floating plate and the bottom shell of the window cleaning machine, preventing external dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the machine. At the same time, it also helps to maintain the negative pressure environment inside the window cleaning machine, ensuring that the floating plate can be stably adsorbed on the glass and achieve effective cleaning function.
[0003] Currently, most window cleaning machines in the industry use sealing cotton as the sealing strip. While sealing cotton can provide a certain degree of sealing, its sealing performance is limited and it is difficult to achieve the airtightness required for high negative pressure. In actual use, the wiping cloth shrinks due to changes in its wetness, and there are unavoidable errors during production and installation, making it difficult for the sealing cotton to maintain a good seal. This affects the overall performance and cleaning effect of the window cleaning machine, and may even cause problems such as unstable adsorption and low cleaning efficiency during operation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an adaptive sealing strip that can effectively solve the above problems in order to improve the performance and reliability of window cleaning machines. Utility Model Content

[0027] A window cleaning plate 7 is slidably installed on the lower surface of the base 3, a through hole 71 with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the air outlet channel 32 is formed in the middle of the window cleaning plate 7, an annular clamping rail 72 matched with the annular groove 33 is formed on the upper surface of the window cleaning plate 7, the annular groove 33 and the annular clamping rail 72 form a cavity 73 for mounting a sealing ring, and a detachable cleaning cloth is arranged on the side of the window cleaning plate 7 facing the working surface, and the shape of the cleaning cloth is consistent with that of the window cleaning plate 7.
[0028] A sealing ring is arranged in the annular groove 33 on the base 3, and the opening of the annular groove 33 faces the working surface; the sealing ring is compressed and deformed to adapt to the height change of the negative pressure cavity 73 between the base 3 and the working surface, and comprises an elastic sealing ring 1 with a wavy cross-section structure and a rigid supporting ring 2 with a T-shaped cross-section structure; the elastic sealing ring 1 is embedded in the annular groove 33, the elastic sealing ring 1 exceeds the edge of the annular groove 33 and contacts the working surface to form a dynamic negative pressure sealing interface; the rigid supporting ring 2 comprises a horizontal supporting base plate 21 and a lateral limiting boss 22, the horizontal supporting base plate 21 and the lateral limiting boss 22 are integrally formed and perpendicular to each other, the horizontal supporting base plate 21 is fixedly installed on the side wall in the annular groove 33, and the lateral limiting boss 22 is embedded in the wave trough of the elastic sealing ring 1 to provide lateral support for the elastic sealing ring 1.
[0029] In the embodiment, the rigid supporting ring 2 is embedded in the annular groove 33 as an independent component, the limiting boss supports the wave trough area of the inner circumferential edge of the elastic sealing ring 1, the radial displacement of the elastic sealing ring 1 is constrained through rigid contact, local stress is dispersed, the elastic sealing ring 1 is prevented from being cracked due to excessive deformation, the elastic sealing ring 1 is prevented from being excessively sucked into the window cleaning machine under the action of negative pressure, lateral stable support is achieved, the composite design of the rigid supporting ring 2 and the elastic sealing ring 1 ensures that the sealing interface maintains uniform compression deformation under dynamic working pressure, and the elastic sealing ring 1 maintains a good sealing form during working.
[0030] In an optional mode in the embodiment, the rigid supporting ring 2 is fixedly installed on the inner circumferential edge in the annular groove 33, the elastic sealing ring 1 is arranged on the outer circumferential edge of the rigid supporting ring 2, and the lateral limiting boss 22 is embedded in the middle wave trough of the elastic sealing ring 1.
[0031] In an optional mode of the embodiment of the application, the rigid support ring 2 is made of hard plastic or metal, and the elastic sealing ring 1 is made of silica gel or flexible rubber.

[0033] Working principle: when the fan assembly is started, the airflow formed by the fan assembly flows out through the first cavity, the air outlet channel 32 and the second cavity, so that negative pressure is formed in the first cavity and the second cavity. When the negative pressure acts on the window cleaning plate 7, the window cleaning plate 7 approaches the base 3 and compresses the elastic sealing ring 1. At this time, the wave-shaped cross section of the elastic sealing ring 1 deforms, and the limiting boss effectively blocks the excessive inward shrinkage of the elastic sealing ring 1 through mechanical interference, so as to avoid the elastic sealing ring 1 being sucked into the inside of the window cleaning machine. The elastic sealing ring 1 can automatically adjust the compression degree according to the size of the negative pressure, so that even in the case of dry and wet shrinkage of the cleaning cloth or installation error, good sealing effect can be maintained.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the application, and not for limiting the application, although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features.
