Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a garbage box installation structure and cleaning equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Cleaning equipment is widely used in home, commercial, and industrial environments, and one of its core functions is to collect and store waste. Most cleaning equipment is equipped with a trash can to store waste collected during the cleaning process. However, traditional cleaning equipment trash cans still suffer from inconvenience in disassembly and assembly. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a garbage box installation structure and cleaning equipment to address the above problems.
[0004] A trash can mounting structure, comprising:
[0005] The mounting component is for connection to a cleaning device and has a mounting port.
[0006] A trash can, the trash can being configured to move relative to the mounting member to enter and exit the mounting port;
[0007] A mating component, wherein the mating component is disposed in either the mounting component or the waste container; and
[0008] A resilient snap-fit assembly, wherein the resilient snap-fit assembly is disposed in the other of the mounting member and the trash can;
[0009] When the trash can is located in the mounting opening, the elastic snap-fit component corresponds to the mating part. The elastic snap-fit component is configured to move along the direction close to the mating part under its own elastic force and snap into the mating part, so as to achieve relative fixation between the mounting part and the trash can. The elastic snap-fit component is also configured to overcome its own elastic force under the action of external force and move along the direction away from the mating part and separate from the mating part, so as to achieve relative movement between the mounting part and the trash can.
[0010] The aforementioned garbage bin installation structure of this utility model can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: During installation, after the garbage bin enters the installation port, the elastic locking component can automatically engage with the mating part under its own elastic force, making the operation simpler. Furthermore, the elastic locking component can maintain its engagement with the mating part in its natural state, ensuring that the garbage bin will not accidentally loosen due to vibration or movement during the operation of the cleaning equipment. When it is necessary to remove the garbage bin from the installation port, only a simple operation is required to disengage the elastic locking component from the mating part; no complicated operation is needed.
[0011] In some embodiments, the elastic locking assembly includes a limiting member disposed on the mounting member and an elastic member connected to the limiting member, the limiting member having a limiting end; when the trash can is located within the mounting opening, the limiting member is configured to move towards the mating member under the elastic force of the elastic member and lock with the mating member, and the limiting member is also configured to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member under external force and move away from the mating member and separate from the mating member. When the trash can is pushed into the mounting opening, the limiting member automatically locks with the mating member under the elastic force of the elastic member, ensuring that the trash can is firmly fixed after installation. The elastic member continuously applies elastic force to keep the limiting end tightly locked with the mating member, preventing the trash can from loosening due to vibration or movement. The user can apply external force to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member, causing the limiting member to disengage from the mating member, enabling quick removal of the trash can.
[0012] In some embodiments, the elastic snap-fit assembly further includes a limiting sleeve disposed on the mounting member. The limiting member at least partially passes through the limiting sleeve. One end of the elastic member is connected to the limiting sleeve, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the limiting member. The limiting member partially passing through the limiting sleeve ensures that the limiting member moves smoothly in a preset direction under elastic force or external force, avoiding skewing or jamming, and improving the reliability of snap-fit and disassembly. The limiting sleeve provides sliding support for the limiting member, making the lifting or releasing action smoother, allowing users to easily install and remove the trash can.
[0013] In some embodiments, the elastic element is a tension spring. When the trash can is located within the mounting opening, the limiting element is configured to move towards the mating part under the tension of the elastic element and engage with the mating part. The limiting element is also configured to overcome the tension of the elastic element under external force and move away from the mating part, separating from it. The tension of the tension spring ensures that the limiting element always tends to move towards the mating part, guaranteeing automatic locking after the trash can is installed and preventing loosening due to vibration or external force. Users only need to apply a small external force to overcome the tension of the tension spring, allowing the limiting element to slide away from the mating part, enabling easy removal of the trash can with convenient and effortless operation. The limiting element can quickly return to the engaging position under the tension of the tension spring, ensuring accurate locking during each installation and improving assembly consistency.
[0014] In some embodiments, the elastic element is a compression spring. When the trash can is located within the mounting opening, the limiting element is configured to move towards the mating part under the pressure of the elastic element and engage with the mating part. The limiting element is also configured to overcome the pressure of the elastic element under external force and move away from the mating part, separating from the mating part. The pressure of the tension spring ensures that the limiting element always tends to move towards the mating part, guaranteeing automatic locking after the trash can is installed and preventing loosening due to vibration or external force. Users only need to apply a small external force to overcome the pressure of the tension spring, allowing the limiting element to slide away from the mating part, enabling easy removal of the trash can with convenient and effortless operation. The limiting element can quickly return to the engaging position under the pressure of the tension spring, ensuring accurate locking during each installation and improving assembly consistency.
[0015] In some embodiments, the two ends of the limiting member are respectively configured as an operating end and a limiting end. When the trash can is located within the mounting opening, the limiting member is configured to move towards the mating member under the elastic force of the elastic member, causing the limiting end to engage with the mating member. The limiting member is also configured to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member under external force, moving away from the mating member and causing the limiting end to separate from the mating member. The operating end is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member and is used for operation to drive the limiting member to move in a direction that overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member. The operating end being exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member allows the user to directly pull or move the operating end to drive the limiting member to move without tools, making disassembly more convenient. The structure of the limiting member passing through the limiting sleeve forms a natural guide channel, ensuring its linear movement and preventing engagement failure due to skewness.
[0016] In some embodiments, when the trash can is not located in the mounting opening, the limiting member can automatically reset under the elastic force of the elastic member, allowing the limiting end to extend into the mounting opening. During the process of the trash can entering the mounting opening, the limiting end can be pushed back by the trash can's contact, overcoming the elastic force of the elastic member, until the limiting end engages with the mating part. When the trash can is not installed, the elastic force of the elastic member pushes the limiting member to reset, allowing the limiting end to naturally extend into the mounting opening, providing a guiding reference for subsequent trash can insertion. When the trash can enters the mounting opening, its outer wall abuts against the limiting end, pushing the limiting member back against the elastic force of the elastic member, forming a temporary clearance channel to ensure smooth insertion. When the trash can is fully in place, the limiting end aligns with the mating part (such as a groove or claw), the elastic member immediately releases its elastic force, driving the limiting end to pop out and engage, completing automatic locking. Users simply push the trash can into the mounting opening; no manual adjustment of the limiting components is required. The insertion force and the elastic rebound force work together naturally to achieve a "zero-operation" locking mechanism. Unlocking is achieved by lifting the operating end during disassembly. Combined with the automatic reset function, this forms a closed-loop interactive logic of "insert-lock-lift-disassemble".
[0017] In some embodiments, the limiting end has a guide ramp on the side near the mounting opening. During the process of the trash can entering the mounting opening, the guide ramp, under the contact of the trash can, drives the limiting member to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member and retract until the limiting end engages with the mating part. When the trash can contacts the guide ramp, a portion of its insertion force (horizontal direction) is decomposed into a vertical component to push the limiting member back. The guide ramp reduces the hard collision between the trash can and the limiting end, reducing friction noise and wear. The trash can slides naturally along the guide ramp, and the limiting member automatically retracts under the guidance of the ramp, requiring no additional operation or precise alignment. When the trash can is fully inserted, the elastic member instantly releases its elastic force, causing the limiting end to engage with the mating part.
[0018] In some embodiments, the operating end is provided with a hand-holding groove for inserting a hand to operate the operating end. The hand-holding groove provides a natural placement position for fingers (such as the thumb or index finger), preventing slippage or accidental contact with other components during operation. Understandably, the shape of the hand-holding groove can match the curvature of the fingertip, and the surface can be enhanced with anti-slip textures or soft rubber material to improve tactile comfort. The hand-holding groove can serve as a tactile marker, allowing users to locate the operating end without visual inspection, making it suitable for low-light environments or embedded installation structures.
[0019] In some embodiments, the mating component has a limiting groove. When the trash can is located in the mounting opening, the limiting component is configured to move towards the limiting groove under the elastic force of the elastic element until it extends into and engages with the limiting groove. The limiting component is also configured to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element under external force and move away from the limiting groove until it exits the limiting groove. When the trash can is inserted into place, the limiting component automatically engages with the limiting groove under the elastic force of the elastic element, forming a mechanical hard limit, ensuring that the trash can will not loosen during vibration, tilting, or movement. The tight engagement between the groove sidewall and the limiting component can withstand a certain degree of impact force (such as a robot vacuum colliding with an obstacle), preventing the trash can from shifting due to external force. The user can pull or flick the operating end to make the limiting component overcome the elastic force and exit the groove.
[0020] In some embodiments, the trash can mounting structure further includes a bracket disposed on the mounting member. Either the bracket or the trash can is provided with a first guide, and the other is provided with a second guide. The first guide cooperates with the second guide to guide the trash can into and out of the mounting opening. The cooperation between the first and second guides ensures that the trash can enters and exits the mounting opening along a predetermined path, reducing frictional resistance, making it easier to push and pull the trash can in and out, improving operational convenience, and preventing misalignment or jamming during installation. The specific shape or layout of the guides can prevent the trash can from being inserted backwards or incorrectly, reducing the risk of misoperation.
[0021] In some embodiments, two supports are provided, one on each side of the mounting opening. The two symmetrically distributed supports provide balanced support, preventing the trash can from tilting or wobbling during installation or use. The two supports share the weight of the trash can and external impact forces, reducing unilateral wear and extending its service life.
[0022] In some embodiments, the first guide includes a first guide wheel and a second guide wheel that are spaced apart in sequence in a direction away from the mounting opening. The first guide wheel and the second guide wheel are arranged in parallel, and at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the first guide wheel is higher than that of the second guide wheel. The second guide is provided with a guide ramp, which abuts against the top of the first guide wheel and the second guide wheel when the trash box enters or exits the mounting opening.
[0023] The first and second guide wheels are spaced apart and arranged sequentially, working in conjunction with the guide ramp to form a progressive guide, ensuring smooth movement of the trash can when entering and exiting the installation opening and reducing jamming or deviation. The guide wheels roll in contact with the guide ramp, reducing resistance compared to sliding friction and extending the service life of the guide components. When the limiting component and the mating component separate, because part of the circumference of the first guide wheel is higher than the second guide wheel, the trash can slide naturally out along the inclined guide wheel under gravity or a slight external force, without needing to be fully manually pulled out, improving operational convenience.
[0024] This application also provides a cleaning device, which includes a device body and a garbage box mounting structure as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the device body and the mounting structure are detachably connected.
[0025] Since the above-mentioned cleaning equipment includes the garbage box installation structure described in any of the above embodiments, the cleaning equipment also has at least the following beneficial effects: the equipment body and the installation component are detachably connected, allowing the garbage box installation structure to be replaced or cleaned independently, reducing maintenance costs. The installation component and garbage box of the garbage box installation structure can also be disassembled and installed separately. After the garbage box enters the installation port of the installation component, the elastic locking component can automatically engage with the mating component under its own elastic force, making operation simpler. Furthermore, the elastic locking component can maintain the engagement with the mating component in its natural state, ensuring that the garbage box will not accidentally loosen due to vibration or movement during the operation of the cleaning equipment. When it is necessary to remove the garbage box from the installation port, only a simple operation is required to disengage the elastic locking component from the mating component; no complicated operation is needed.

Detailed Implementation
[0036] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, this utility model provides a trash can mounting structure 10, which is applied to cleaning equipment. The trash can mounting structure 10 includes a mounting component 100, a trash can 200, a mating component 300, and a flexible snap-fit assembly 400.
[0038] The mounting member 100 is used to connect to a cleaning device, and the mounting member 100 is provided with a mounting port 110. The trash can 200 is configured to move relative to the mounting member 100 to enter and exit the mounting port 110. The mating member 300 is provided on either the mounting member 100 or the trash can 200. The resilient snap-fit assembly 400 is provided on the other of the mounting member 100 and the trash can 200.
[0039] When the trash can 200 is located within the mounting opening 110, the elastic snap-fit component 400 corresponds to the mating component 300. The elastic snap-fit component 400 is configured to move along the direction close to the mating component 300 under its own elastic force and snap into the mating component 300, thereby achieving relative fixation between the mounting component 100 and the trash can 200. The elastic snap-fit component 400 is also configured to overcome its own elastic force under the action of external force and move along the direction away from the mating component 300, thereby achieving relative movement between the mounting component 100 and the trash can 200.
[0040] The aforementioned garbage box installation structure 10 of this utility model can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: During installation, when the garbage box 200 enters the installation port 110, the elastic locking component 400 can automatically lock with the mating part 300 under its own elastic force, making the operation simpler. Furthermore, the elastic locking component 400 can maintain the locking state with the mating part 300 in its natural state, ensuring that the garbage box 200 will not accidentally loosen due to vibration or movement during the operation of the cleaning equipment. When it is necessary to remove the garbage box 200 from the installation port 110, only a simple operation is required to disengage the elastic locking component 400 from the mating part 300, without any complicated operations.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic snap-fit assembly 400 includes a limiting member 410 disposed on the mounting member 100 and an elastic member 420 connected to the limiting member 410, the limiting member 410 having a limiting end 412. When the trash can 200 is located within the mounting opening 110, the limiting member 410 is configured to move in a direction close to the mating member 300 under the elastic force of the elastic member 420 and snap into the mating member 300; the limiting member 410 is also configured to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 420 under external force and move in a direction away from the mating member 300 and separate from the mating member 300. When the trash can 200 is pushed into the mounting opening 110, the limiting member 410 automatically snaps into the mating member 300 under the elastic force of the elastic member 420, ensuring that the trash can 200 is firmly fixed after installation. The elastic element 420 continuously applies elastic force to keep the limiting end 412 tightly engaged with the mating part 300, preventing the trash box 200 from loosening due to vibration or movement. The user can apply external force to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 420, causing the limiting part 410 to disengage from the mating part 300, thus enabling the trash box 200 to be quickly removed.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic snap-fit assembly 400 further includes a limiting sleeve 430 disposed on the mounting member 100. The limiting member 410 at least partially passes through the fixing base 430, one end of the elastic member 420 is connected to the limiting sleeve 430, and the other end of the elastic member 420 is connected to the limiting member 410. The limiting member 410 at least partially passes through the limiting sleeve 430, and the structure of the limiting sleeve 430 ensures that the limiting member 410 moves smoothly in a preset direction under elastic force or external force, avoiding skewing or jamming, and improving the reliability of snap-fit and disassembly. The limiting sleeve 430 also provides sliding support for the limiting member 410, making the lifting or releasing action smoother, allowing the user to easily install and remove the trash can 200.
[0043] In some embodiments, the elastic element 420 is a tension spring. When the trash can 200 is located within the mounting opening 110, the limiting element 410 is configured to move towards the mating part 300 under the tension of the elastic element 420 and engage with the mating part 300. The limiting element 410 is also configured to overcome the tension of the elastic element 420 under external force and move away from the mating part 300, separating from it. The tension of the tension spring ensures that the limiting element 410 always tends to move towards the mating part 300, ensuring automatic locking after the trash can 200 is installed, preventing loosening due to vibration or external force. Users only need to apply a small external force to overcome the tension of the tension spring, allowing the limiting element 410 to slide away from the mating part 300, enabling easy removal of the trash can 200, making operation convenient and effortless. The limiting element 410 can quickly return to the engaging position under the tension of the tension spring, ensuring accurate locking during each installation and improving assembly consistency.
[0044] In some embodiments, the elastic element 420 is a compression spring. When the trash can 200 is located within the mounting opening 110, the limiting element 410 is configured to move towards the mating part 300 under the pressure of the elastic element 420 and engage with the mating part 300. The limiting element 410 is also configured to overcome the pressure of the elastic element 420 under external force and move away from the mating part 300, separating from it. The pressure of the tension spring ensures that the limiting element 410 always tends to move towards the mating part 300, ensuring automatic locking after the trash can 200 is installed, preventing loosening due to vibration or external force. The user only needs to apply a small external force to overcome the tension spring's pressure, allowing the limiting element 410 to slide away from the mating part 300, enabling easy removal of the trash can 200, making operation convenient and effortless. The limiting element 410 can quickly return to the engaging position under the pressure of the tension spring, ensuring accurate locking during each installation and improving assembly consistency.
[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the two ends of the limiting member 410 are respectively configured as an operating end 411 and a limiting end 412. When the trash can 200 is located within the mounting opening 110, the limiting member 410 is configured to move in a direction close to the mating member 300 under the elastic force of the elastic member 420, causing the limiting end 412 to engage with the mating member 300. The limiting member 410 is also configured to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 420 under external force, moving in a direction away from the mating member 300, causing the limiting end 412 to separate from the mating member 300. The operating end 411 is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member 100 and is used for operation to drive the limiting member 410 to move in a direction that overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 420. Since the operating end 411 is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member 100, the user can directly pull or move the operating end 411 to drive the limiting member 410 to move without the need for tools, making disassembly more convenient. The limiting member 410, which passes through the limiting sleeve 430, forms a natural guide channel to ensure that it moves in a straight line and prevents jamming failure caused by skewness.
[0046] In some embodiments, when the trash can 200 is not located within the mounting opening 110, the limiting member 410 can automatically reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 420, allowing the limiting end 412 to extend into the mounting opening 110. During the process of the trash can 200 entering the mounting opening 110, the limiting end 412 can be driven by the contact of the trash can 200 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 420 and retract until the limiting end 412 engages with the mating member 300. When the trash can 200 is not installed, the elastic force of the elastic member 420 pushes the limiting member 410 to reset, allowing the limiting end 412 to naturally extend into the mounting opening 110, providing a guiding reference for subsequent insertion of the trash can 200. When the trash can 200 enters the mounting opening 110, its outer wall abuts against the limiting end 412, pushing the limiting member 410 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 420 and retract, forming a temporary clearance channel to ensure smooth insertion. When the trash can 200 is fully in place, the limiting end 412 aligns with the mating part 300 (such as a groove or claw), and the elastic element 420 immediately releases its elastic force, driving the limiting end 412 to pop out and engage, completing the automatic locking. The user only needs to push the trash can 200 into the installation port 110; there is no need to manually adjust the limiting part 410. The insertion force and the rebound force of the elastic element 420 work together naturally to achieve "zero-operation" locking. For disassembly, simply lift the operating end 411 to unlock. Combined with the automatic reset function, this forms a closed-loop interactive logic of "insert-lock / lift-disassemble".
[0047] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting end 412 has a guide slope 4121 on the side near the mounting port 110. During the process of the trash can 200 entering the mounting port 110, the guide slope 4121 can, under the contact of the trash can 200, drive the limiting member 410 to retract against the elastic force of the elastic member 420 until the limiting end 412 engages with the mating member 300. When the trash can 200 contacts the guide slope 4121, a portion of its insertion force (horizontal direction) is decomposed into a vertical component to push the limiting member 410 back. The guide slope 4121 reduces the hard collision between the trash can 200 and the limiting end 412, reducing friction noise and wear. The trash can 200 slides naturally along the guide slope 4121, and the limiting member 410 automatically retracts under the guidance of the slope, requiring no additional operation or precise alignment. When the trash can 200 is fully inserted, the elastic element 420 releases its elastic force instantly, causing the limiting end 412 to engage with the mating element 300.
[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the operating end 411 is provided with a handle groove 4111 for inserting fingers to operate the operating end 411. The handle groove 4111 provides a natural placement position for fingers (such as the thumb or index finger), preventing slippage or accidental contact with other components during operation. Understandably, the shape of the handle groove 4111 can match the curvature of the fingertip, and the surface can be provided with anti-slip textures or soft rubber material to enhance tactile comfort. The handle groove 4111 can serve as a tactile marker, allowing users to locate the operating end 411 without visual inspection, making it suitable for low-light environments or embedded installation structures.
[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the mating member 300 has a limiting groove 310. When the trash can 200 is located within the mounting opening 110, the limiting member 410 is configured to move towards the limiting groove 310 under the elastic force of the elastic member 420 until the limiting member 410 extends into the limiting groove 310 and engages with it. The limiting member 410 is also configured to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 420 under external force and move away from the limiting groove 310 until it exits the limiting groove 310. When the trash can 200 is inserted into place, the limiting member 410 automatically engages with the limiting groove 310 under the elastic force of the elastic member 420, forming a mechanical hard limit, ensuring that the trash can 200 will not loosen during vibration, tilting, or movement. The tight engagement between the side wall of the limiting groove 310 and the limiting member 410 can withstand a certain degree of impact force, preventing the trash box 200 from shifting due to external force. The user can pull or flick the operating end 411 to make the limiting member 410 overcome the elastic force and exit the limiting groove 310.
[0050] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the trash can mounting structure 10 further includes a bracket 500 disposed on the mounting member 100. Either the bracket 500 or the trash can 200 is provided with a first guide 610, and the other with a second guide 620. The first guide 610 cooperates with the second guide 620 to guide the trash can 200 into and out of the mounting opening 110. The cooperation between the first guide 610 and the second guide 620 ensures that the trash can 200 enters and exits the mounting opening 110 along a predetermined path, reducing frictional resistance and making it easier to push and pull the trash can 200 in and out, improving operational convenience and preventing misalignment or jamming during installation. The specific shape or layout of the guides can prevent the trash can 200 from being inserted in reverse or incorrectly, reducing the risk of misoperation.
[0051] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first guide member 610 includes a first guide wheel 611 and a second guide wheel 612 arranged sequentially at intervals in a direction away from the mounting opening 110. The first guide wheel 611 and the second guide wheel 612 are arranged in parallel, and at least a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the first guide wheel 611 is higher than that of the second guide wheel 612. The second guide member 620 is provided with a guide ramp 621, which abuts against the top of the first guide wheel 611 and the second guide wheel 612 when the trash box 200 enters or exits the mounting opening 110. The first guide wheel 611 and the second guide wheel 612 are arranged sequentially at intervals, forming a progressive guide with the guide ramp 621, ensuring smooth movement of the trash box 200 when entering or exiting the mounting opening 110 and reducing jamming or deviation. The circumferential surfaces of the first guide wheel 611 and the second guide wheel 612 roll in contact with the guide ramp 621, which reduces resistance and extends the service life of the guide member compared to sliding friction. When the limiting member 410 and the mating member 300 are separated, since part of the circumference of the first guide wheel 611 is higher than the second guide wheel 612, the trash box 200 can slide out naturally along the inclined guide wheel under the action of gravity or slight external force, without having to be pulled out completely manually, thus improving the convenience of operation.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of brackets 500 is set to two, with the two brackets 500 located on both sides of the mounting opening 110. The two symmetrically distributed brackets 500 provide balanced support, preventing the trash can 200 from tilting or shaking during installation or use. The two brackets 500 on both sides share the weight of the trash can 200 and external impact forces, reducing unilateral wear and extending service life.
[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the trash can 200 is provided with handle positions 210 on both sides. Specifically, the handle positions 210 are formed by concave grooves. The handle positions 210 make it easier for the user to pull the trash can 200 out of the mounting port 110 after the limiting member 410 and the mating member 300 are separated.
[0054] Furthermore. For example... Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the mating part 300 further includes a grip portion 320, one end of which is connected to the rear side of the trash can 200, and the other end is connected to the outer wall of the limiting groove 310. The grip portion 320 facilitates the user's gripping and emptying of the trash can 200 after removing it from the mounting part 100. Furthermore, the grip portion 320 also has a grip hole 321. The grip hole 321 allows the user's fingers to be inserted to grip the trash can 200. The grip hole 321 provides a suitable depth for fingers (such as the index, middle, and ring fingers) to prevent slippage when the user directly grips the grip portion 320. Understandably, the size of the grip hole 321 can match the width of the user's fingers, and the surface can be provided with anti-slip textures or soft rubber material to increase user grip comfort.
[0055] In addition, such as Figure 7 As shown, this application also provides a cleaning device 1, which includes a device body 20 and a garbage box mounting structure 10 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the device body 20 and the mounting component 100 are detachably connected.
[0056] Since the cleaning equipment 1 includes the garbage box mounting structure 10 described in any of the above embodiments, the cleaning equipment 1 also has at least the following beneficial effects: the equipment body 20 and the mounting component 100 are detachably connected, allowing the garbage box mounting structure 10 to be replaced or cleaned independently, reducing maintenance costs. The mounting component 100 and the garbage box 200 of the garbage box mounting structure 10 can also be disassembled and installed separately. After the garbage box 200 enters the mounting port 110 of the mounting component 100, the elastic snap-fit component 400 can automatically snap into the mating component 300 under its own elastic force, making the operation simpler. Moreover, the elastic snap-fit component 400 can maintain the snap-fit state with the mating component 300 in its natural state, ensuring that the garbage box 200 will not be accidentally loosened due to vibration or movement during the operation of the cleaning equipment. When it is necessary to remove the garbage box 200 from the mounting port 110, it is only necessary to simply operate the elastic snap-fit component 400 to disengage from the mating component 300, without complicated operations.
[0057] It is understood that the aforementioned cleaning device 1 is configured as an autonomously moving robot, which typically includes a control system, sensor system, drive system, and power and charging system (not shown in the accompanying drawings). The control system processes and controls the device to perform specific tasks or actions based on a predetermined program or signals returned by the sensor system. The sensor system senses the working status information of each component of the device, the status information of the external environment in which the device is located, and the device's position information in the environment, and sends this information to the control system. The drive system drives the moving mechanism, causing the device to move autonomously on the working surface. The power and charging system provides energy to the various systems of the device. Since these system components are not the focus of this invention, they are not described in detail in the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this application.
[0058] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0062] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0063] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact, or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0064] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this invention are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
