Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular relates to the drying structure of a mopping robot. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, floors are cleaned with a mop, which takes up a lot of the user's time and energy. Therefore, to solve these problems, automated robots have emerged to perform cleaning and mopping tasks in place of users.

[0003] Existing mopping robots leave water stains on the floor after cleaning. To remove these water stains, the usual method is to let them air dry naturally. Some mopping robots also have a built-in drying function, which dries the floor while cleaning. However, the drying effect of existing mopping robots with this function is poor, and the drying process takes a long time. Combined with the mopping time, it takes a long time to completely clean the floor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is: based on the inventor's own practice and combined with actual usage, and in response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the inventor designed a drying structure for a mopping robot to solve the technical problems of poor drying effect and long drying time of the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A mopping robot drying structure includes a robot body, with rollers arranged in a rectangular pattern on the bottom of the robot body for movement. A mopping component is located at the front end of the bottom of the robot body, and a drying component is also included. The drying component includes an air blower and an air suction port, which are arranged opposite to each other. The drying component is located at the bottom of the robot body and behind the mopping component.

[0007] Furthermore, the air outlet and the air intake are inclined at the bottom of the robot body.

[0008] Furthermore, the air outlet and the air intake are flattened flared mouths.

[0009] Furthermore, the width and height of the air outlet are smaller than the width and height of the air intake.

[0010] Furthermore, the drying assembly includes a first circulation channel and a second circulation channel, the first circulation channel and the second circulation channel are connected, and the other ends of the first circulation channel and the second circulation channel are respectively connected to the air outlet and the air intake.

[0011] Furthermore, the drying assembly also includes a drying chamber located between the first circulation channel and the second circulation channel, with one end of both the first circulation channel and the second circulation channel connected to the drying chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, a fan is provided inside the drying chamber. The fan has a blowing section and an air inlet section. The blowing section is positioned towards the air outlet, and the air inlet section is positioned towards the air suction section.

[0013] Furthermore, a heating wire is also provided inside the drying chamber, and the heating wire is disposed between the fan and the first circulation channel.

[0014] Furthermore, a filter screen is provided at the connection between the drying chamber and the second circulation channel.

[0015] Furthermore, a water collection box is also provided at the bottom of the drying chamber, and the water collection box is detachably installed in the drying chamber at the bottom of the robot body. The beneficial effect of this utility model is that the mopping robot drying structure provided by this utility model includes a robot body, with rollers arranged in a rectangular pattern at the bottom of the robot body for movement. A mopping component is provided at the front end of the bottom of the robot body, and a drying component is also included. The drying component includes an air blower and an air suction port, which are arranged opposite to each other. The drying component is located at the bottom of the robot body and behind the mopping component. In this application, the rollers under the robot body can drive the robot body to move on the ground and clean different locations, enabling the robot body to complete the cleaning of the entire house autonomously. The mopping component is used to clean the floor and is fixed. The cleaning unit is located behind the robot body and cleans different areas as the robot moves. Since water stains remain after the mopping component cleans the floor, the drying component dries the areas cleaned by the mopping component. The drying component is located behind the mopping component, so the floor is cleaned and water stains are left in the areas the robot body passes through, following the order of cleaning first and then drying. If the drying component is placed before the mopping component, the floor will still be dried before cleaning, and water stains will remain after cleaning, making the drying component ineffective. The air blower is used to blow air onto the floor to dry the water stains, and then the suction port collects the air blown out of the air blower, so that the air is circulated to dry the floor quickly.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] This embodiment discloses a drying structure for a mopping robot, including a robot body 1. The bottom of the robot body 1 is provided with rollers 11 for the robot body 1 to move. The rollers 11 are arranged in a rectangular shape. A mopping component 12 is provided at the front end of the bottom of the robot body 1. The robot body 1 also includes a drying component 13. The drying component 13 includes an air blower 131 and an air suction 132. The air blower 131 and the air suction 132 are arranged opposite to each other. The drying component 13 is located at the bottom of the robot body 1 and is located behind the mopping component 12.

[0030] Specifically, in this application, the rollers 11 under the robot body 1 can drive the robot body 1 to move on the ground and clean different locations, enabling the robot body 1 to complete the cleaning of the entire house autonomously. The mopping assembly 12 is used to clean the floor. The mopping assembly 12 is fixedly installed on the robot body 1 and cleans different locations as the robot body 1 moves. Since water stains remain after the mopping assembly 12 cleans the floor, the drying assembly 13 then dries the areas cleaned by the mopping assembly 12. The drying assembly 13 is designed to... Placed behind the mopping component 12, the floor is cleaned and left without water stains in the area traversed by the robot body 1, following the order of cleaning first and then drying. If the drying component 13 is placed before the mopping component 12, the floor will be dried first and then cleaned, but water stains will still remain after cleaning, rendering the drying component 13 ineffective. The air blower 131 is used to blow air onto the floor to dry the water stains. Then, the suction port 132 collects the air blown out of the air blower 131, circulating the air to dry the floor quickly.

[0031] In this embodiment, the air outlet 131 and the air inlet 132 are inclined at the bottom of the robot body 1.

[0032] Specifically, the air outlet 131 and the air inlet 132 are inclined at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the robot body 1. The air outlet 131, at a 45-degree angle, blows air directly onto the ground, and then the blown air moves along the ground towards the air inlet 132, thereby removing water stains from the ground and improving the drying effect and drying range. The 45-degree angle of the air inlet 132 makes it easier to draw the air blown out of the air outlet 131 into the air inlet 132, thus forming a circulation. If the air outlet 131 and the air inlet 132 are set perpendicular to the bottom of the robot body 1, The air blown out of the air outlet 131 is perpendicular to the ground. After contacting the ground, the air spreads outwards. The dispersed air is not concentrated enough, so the drying effect is not good. Moreover, this is not conducive to the air intake 132 at the rear to recycle the air. If the air outlet 131 and the air intake 132 are set parallel to the robot body 1, although the air blown out of the air outlet 131 can be directly absorbed by the air intake 132, the drying effect is not good because the air does not come into contact with the ground. Therefore, setting the air outlet 131 and the air intake 132 at a 45-degree angle is the best choice.

[0033] In this embodiment, the air outlet 131 and the air inlet 132 are flat flared mouths.

[0034] Specifically, the air blown out by the flat horn-shaped air outlet 131 can spread evenly on the ground, maximizing the drying range. Compared with the columnar air duct, although the columnar air duct has a stronger drying effect, its drying range is smaller. If the same area is to be dried, the drying time of the ground by the columnar air duct is longer than that of the flat air duct in this application.

[0035] In this embodiment, the width and height of the air outlet 131 are smaller than the width and height of the air inlet 132.

[0036] Specifically, the size of the air intake 132 is larger than the size of the air outlet, so the air blown out from the air outlet 131 can be completely absorbed by the air intake 132 without any waste.

[0037] In this embodiment, the robot body 1 is also provided with a first circulation channel 133 and a second circulation channel 134, which are connected to each other. The other ends of the first circulation channel 133 and the second circulation channel 134 are respectively connected to the air blowing port 131 and the air suction port 132.

[0038] Specifically, both the first circulation channel 133 and the second circulation channel 134 have sealed internal structures, so the air blown out of the air outlet 131 is drawn in through the air inlet 132 and is not lost in the first circulation channel 133 and the second circulation channel 134. Moreover, the air is recirculated through the first circulation channel 133 and the second circulation channel 134. At the same time, the air speed increases as it flows through the first circulation channel 133 and the second circulation channel 134, which also improves the drying efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, a drying chamber 135 is provided in the circulation channel, and one end of the first circulation channel 133 and the second circulation channel 134 are both connected to the drying chamber 135.

[0040] Specifically, the drying chamber 135 can store a portion of the air, which is then heated into dry air by the heating wire 137 inside the drying chamber 135. The dry air dries the water stains on the ground, resulting in a better drying effect. Moreover, when the robot body 1 is drying the ground, it recovers the dry air blown out of the air outlet 131 through the air intake 132, and then circulates the air through the first circulation channel 133 and the second circulation channel 134, so that the dry air loss is less and the amount of air that needs to be heated by the heating wire 137 is less. The heating wire 137 only needs to maintain the temperature of the dry air, which reduces the power consumption of the heating wire 137 and improves the drying efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment, a fan 136 is provided in the drying chamber 135. The fan 136 has a blowing part and an air inlet part. The blowing part is arranged facing the air outlet 131, and the air inlet part is arranged facing the air suction part.

[0042] Specifically, the fan 136 is used to blow dry air. The fan 136 draws in dry air through the air inlet, blows dry air out through the air outlet, and finally blows dry air to the ground through the first circulation channel 133 and the air outlet 131. In this way, the dry air dries the ground. The flowing air has a better drying effect, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, a heating wire 137 is also provided in the drying chamber 135, and the heating wire 137 is disposed between the fan 136 and the first circulation channel 133.

[0044] Specifically, the heating wire 137 is used to heat the air, which dries the ground, thereby improving the drying efficiency. In this embodiment, when the fan 136 drives the drying air, the drying air located on the air inlet side is drawn in by the fan 136 and compressed. The temperature of the compressed drying air will drop. Blowing the compressed drying air to the ground will not have a good drying effect. Therefore, the heating wire 137 is placed on the air blowing side of the fan 136, that is, the heating wire 137 is located between the fan 136 and the first circulation channel 133. Even if the temperature of the compressed drying air drawn in by the fan 136 drops, the temperature of the drying air rises when passing through the heating wire 137, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0045] In this embodiment, a filter screen 138 is provided at the connection between the drying chamber 135 and the second circulation channel 134.

[0046] Specifically, after the air blower 131 blows out the drying air, some dust or hair on the ground is drawn into the second circulation channel 134 by the air intake 132 and finally placed in the drying chamber. Dust or hair may clog the first circulation channel 133, the second circulation channel 134, or the fan 136, resulting in poor drying effect of the robot body 1. Therefore, a filter screen 138 is set at the connection between the second circulation channel 134 and the drying chamber 135 to filter dust or hair and other impurities. The filter screen 138 can be detachably set in the drying chamber. After the robot body 1 has been working for a period of time, the filter screen 138 can be disassembled for cleaning or replaced with a new filter screen 138.

[0047] In this embodiment, a water collection box 139 is also provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 135. The water collection box 139 is detachably disposed in the drying chamber 135 at the bottom of the robot body 1.

[0048] Specifically, when the drying air dries water stains on the ground, the drying method is to heat the water stains to turn them into water vapor. The flowing drying air draws the water vapor into the drying chamber 135 through the air intake 132. The water vapor accumulates in the drying chamber and eventually turns into liquid water. The liquid water falls into the water collection box 139. After the robot body 1 has been working for a period of time, the water collection box 139 can be removed from the bottom of the robot body 1, and the liquid water in the water collection box 139 can be poured out. The water collection box 139 is designed to prevent the liquid water in the drying chamber 135 from flowing out of the robot body 1 and onto the ground through the first circulation channel 133 or the second circulation channel 134, thus preventing secondary pollution of the ground.
