[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning technology, and more specifically, to an odor diffusion mechanism and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Robotic vacuum cleaners, mops, or floor scrubbers can automatically clean floors in a room using a certain level of artificial intelligence. After completing their cleaning task, the cleaning unit returns to the base station for dust collection and recycling. The base station uses a fan assembly to suck the debris from the cleaning unit into its dust collection bin.

[0003] In existing technologies, odor-diffusing components such as aromatherapy diffusers, deodorizing tablets, mosquito repellent tablets, or air purifiers are typically installed in the air outlet duct or outlet of the fan assembly. For example, the scent emitted by the aromatherapy diffuser can be discharged with the air to achieve a deodorizing function. However, if the user wants to turn off the aromatherapy function, the diffuser needs to be removed from the base station, making the operation of turning the aromatherapy function on and off rather complicated.

[0014] The second connecting part passes through the elongated hole and can move relative to the elongated hole along the first direction, and the first end of the second connecting part is detachably connected to the first connecting part;

[0015] An operating handle is disposed outside the housing and connected to the second end opposite to the first end of the second connecting part. The operating handle is driven by an external force to switch the closing member between the first position and the second position.

[0016] Further, the blocking member includes a blocking plate, the second channel is disposed through the blocking plate along its thickness direction, and the closing member includes:

[0017] The main body is attached to the surface of the baffle plate and can move relative to the surface of the baffle plate under the action of the operating member to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the first chamber or the second chamber is provided with a dovetail groove or a T-groove, the dovetail groove or the T-groove extending in a direction parallel to the surface of the baffle plate, and the main body is provided with a slider adapted to the dovetail groove or the T-groove.

[0019] Furthermore, along the first direction, the second channel has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, and a stop portion is provided on the blocking plate. The stop portion is disposed close to the first side of the second channel, and the distance between the stop portion and the second side of the second channel is D1. The minimum dimension of the blocking plate along the first direction is D2, wherein D1 and D2 satisfy the relationship: D1≤D2.

[0020] Furthermore, the closure also includes a fastening part, and the inner wall surface of the first chamber or the second chamber is provided with a fastening engagement part adapted to the fastening part. When the switch assembly is in the second position, the fastening part and the fastening engagement part are engaged.

[0021] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting posts are provided on the inner wall surface of the first chamber.

The odor emitted by the diffuser can effectively mask the odor in the second chamber, thus achieving the aromatherapy function. When the first and second chambers are isolated from each other, the odor emitted by the diffuser into the first chamber will not diffuse out of the housing, and the aromatherapy function is turned off. Users only need to move the switch assembly to turn the aromatherapy function on and off, without having to remove the diffuser from the cleaning assembly to turn it off, greatly reducing the difficulty of turning the aromatherapy function on and off and improving the user experience. Users can more quickly and conveniently turn the aromatherapy function on and off according to their actual needs, making the opening and closing of the aromatherapy function more flexible.

It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this application provides an odor diffusion mechanism. This odor diffusion mechanism is used at least in cleaning equipment. The odor diffusion mechanism includes a housing 10 and a switch assembly 20. The housing 10 has a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12. The first chamber 11 is used to install at least one odor diffuser 111. The inner wall of the second chamber 12 has a first channel 121. The first channel 121 connects the second chamber 12 to the outside of the housing 10, and the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are connected through a second channel 122. The switch assembly 20 is movably disposed on the housing 10. The switch assembly 20 has a first position where it moves to avoid the second channel 122 to allow communication between the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, and a second position where it moves to close the second channel 122 to isolate the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 from each other. The odor diffuser 111 can be one or more of the following: aromatherapy, deodorizing tablets, mosquito repellent tablets, air purifying tablets, etc. Alternatively, the odor diffuser 111 can also be a liquid that emits an odor. Alternatively, the odor diffuser 111 may also be configured as a solid-liquid mixture capable of emitting an odor. It is understood that when the odor diffuser 111 comprises a liquid or a solid-liquid mixture, the liquid or solid-liquid mixture is contained in a container, and the container may be installed within the first chamber 11. In this embodiment, the odor diffuser 111 is configured as an aromatherapy diffuser, but it is not limited to this.

[0043] In this embodiment, an odor diffuser 111 is installed in the first chamber 11, and the odor emitted by the odor diffuser 111 permeates the first chamber 11. The second chamber 12 is connected to the outside of the housing 10 through the first channel 121. By adjusting the position of the switch assembly 20 relative to the housing 10, the connection between the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 can be controlled to be made or isolated from each other to control the opening and closing of the aromatherapy function. When the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are connected, the odor emitted by the odor diffuser 111 into the first chamber 11 can diffuse into the second chamber 12 and then diffuse to the outside of the housing 10 through the first channel 121. The odor emitted by the odor diffuser 111 can effectively mask the odor in the air inside the second chamber 12 to achieve the aromatherapy function. When the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are isolated from each other, the odor emitted by the odor diffuser 111 into the first chamber 11 will not diffuse to the outside of the housing 10, and the aromatherapy function is turned off. Users can easily turn the aromatherapy function on and off by simply moving the switch assembly 20, without needing to remove the scent diffuser 111 from the cleaning assembly to turn it off. This significantly reduces the difficulty of turning the aromatherapy function on and off, improving the user experience. Users can more quickly and conveniently turn the aromatherapy function on and off according to their actual needs, making the function more flexible.

[0044] In one embodiment, a blocking member 13 is provided on the housing 10. The blocking member 13 is disposed between the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12. A second channel 122 is provided on the blocking member 13. The switching assembly 20 includes a closing member 21 and an operating member 22. The closing member 21 is disposed on the blocking member 13 and is operable relative to the blocking member 13 along a first direction (e.g., Figure 5The closing member 21 moves along the direction indicated by the arrow X in the figure. The operating member 22 is connected to the closing member 21. When the operating member 22 is subjected to external force, it moves the closing member 21 along the first direction (as indicated by the arrow X in the figure) to switch between the first and second positions. When the operating member 22 moves along the first direction to close the second channel 122, isolating the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 from each other, the aroma emitted by the odor diffuser 111 cannot diffuse outside the housing 10, and the aroma function is off. When the operating member 22 moves along the first direction to avoid the second channel 122, allowing the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 to communicate, the aroma emitted by the odor diffuser 111 can diffuse outside the housing 10, and the aroma function is on. Users can easily and quickly turn the aroma function on or off by applying force to the operating member 22 from outside the housing 10, effectively reducing the difficulty of turning the aroma function on or off. In addition, by judging the position of the operating component 22 relative to the housing 10, the user can know whether the aromatherapy function is on or off. The user can more intuitively obtain the on / off state of the aromatherapy function, and the user experience is better.

[0045] Furthermore, the closure member 21 is provided with a first connecting portion 211. A long, narrow hole 14 extending along a first direction is provided through the housing 10. The operating member 22 includes a second connecting portion 221 and an operating handle 222. The second connecting portion 221 passes through the long, narrow hole 14 and is movable relative to the long, narrow hole 14 along the first direction; the first end of the second connecting portion 221 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 211. The operating handle 222 is located outside the housing 10 and connected to the second end opposite the first end of the second connecting portion 221; the operating handle 222, when subjected to external force, drives the closure member 21 to switch between a first position and a second position.

[0046] The operating handle 222 is located on the outside of the housing 10, allowing users to operate it directly by hand, making the operation process more intuitive and clear. By moving the second connecting part 221 along the elongated hole 14 via the operating handle 222, the closing member 21 is switched between the first and second positions to adjust the opening and closing of the aromatherapy function. Users can easily turn the aromatherapy function on and off without complicated operations, improving the user experience. The elongated hole 14 provides movement space for the second connecting part 221 and also guides and limits the movement direction of the operating handle 222, effectively limiting the movement distance of the second connecting part 221. The elongated hole 14 ensures that the second connecting part 221 can accurately move the closing member 21 between the first and second positions, preventing deviations in the closing member 21 that could prevent the second channel 122 from being completely closed. The elongated hole 14 helps users achieve precise control of the aromatherapy function, ensuring that the aromatherapy function can be accurately turned on and off. The first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221 are detachably connected, which makes it more convenient to maintain or replace the closure 21 or the operating part 22 individually. When the closure 21 is damaged, such as when wear affects the normal opening and closing of the aromatherapy function, the closure 21 can be removed for inspection or replacement by disassembling the second connecting part 221 from the first connecting part 211. Damage to the operating handle 222 or the second connecting part 221 can also be easily disassembled and repaired, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty and improving the maintainability of the scent diffusion mechanism.

[0047] Specifically, there is no relative rotation between the first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221. The first connecting part 211 is a rod, and the second connecting part 221 has a connecting groove 2211, with the opening of the connecting groove 2211 facing the first connecting part 211. The connecting groove 2211 is fitted onto the outside of the first connecting part 211 and fits against the outer surface of the first connecting part 211. The closure member 21 has a mounting groove 212, with the opening of the mounting groove 212 facing the second connecting part 221. The first connecting part 211 is embedded in the mounting groove 212, and at least a portion of the first connecting part 211 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 212. The inner wall of the connecting groove 2211 has a through notch 2212, which avoids the connection between the first connecting part 211 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 212. When the user moves the operating handle 222, the operating handle 222 will not rotate relative to the first connecting part 211, and the operating handle 222 can more stably drive the closing member 21 to move. It is understood that the first connecting part 211 and the second connecting part 221 can also achieve relative rotation through other structures, and this embodiment is not limited to only one.

[0048] Furthermore, the blocking member 13 includes a blocking plate 131. The second channel 122 extends through the blocking plate 131 along its thickness direction. The closing member 21 includes a body portion 213. The body portion 213 is in contact with the surface of the blocking plate 131 and can move relative to the surface of the blocking plate 131 under the action of the operating member 22 to switch between a first position and a second position. The contact between the body portion 213 of the closing member 21 and the surface of the blocking plate 131 increases the contact area between the body portion 213 and the blocking plate 131. When the closing member 21 is in the second position and closes the second channel 122, a good sealing effect is formed between the body portion 213 and the blocking plate 131, effectively preventing the aroma diffused from the first chamber 11 into the second chamber 12, ensuring that the aromatherapy function can be accurately turned on or off according to the user's needs. The main body 213 moves relative to the surface of the baffle plate 131 to switch between the first and second positions. The main body 213 moves in contact with the surface of the baffle plate 131, resulting in relatively low and uniform friction between them. This makes the movement of the closing member 21 by the operating member 22 smoother and less prone to jamming. Simultaneously, this planar contact arrangement ensures the stability of the closing member 21 during movement, allowing it to accurately reach the first and second positions, guaranteeing reliable switching of the aromatherapy function and enhancing the user experience. The baffle plate 131 is used as the blocking member 131, with the second channel 122 extending along the thickness of the baffle plate 131. This arrangement makes the internal space layout of the odor diffusion mechanism more compact. The main body 213 of the closing member 21 is in contact with and can move relative to the surface of the baffle plate 131, effectively utilizing the space around the baffle plate 131, reducing the volume of the odor diffusion mechanism, facilitating its installation on cleaning equipment, minimizing space occupation, and improving the space utilization efficiency of the cleaning equipment. The baffle plate 131 is also easier to process and helps to reduce the production cost of the odor diffusion mechanism.

[0049] Furthermore, a dovetail groove 15 is provided on the inner wall surface of the first chamber 11 or the second chamber 12. The dovetail groove 15 extends in a direction parallel to the surface of the baffle plate 131. A slider 214 adapted to the dovetail groove 15 is provided on the main body 213.

[0050] T-slots may also be provided on the inner wall of the first chamber 11 or the second chamber 12, extending in a direction parallel to the surface of the baffle plate 131. A slider 214 adapted to the T-slot is provided on the main body 213. The slider 214 is located within the dovetail groove 15 or the T-slot and can slide relative to the length direction of the dovetail groove 15 or the T-slot, ensuring that the main body 213 can only move in a direction parallel to the surface of the baffle plate 131. This makes the switching of the closing member 21 between the first and second positions more accurate and stable, effectively preventing the closing member 21 from shifting or shaking during movement, thereby ensuring the reliability and consistency of the aromatherapy function opening and closing of the odor diffusion mechanism. The dovetail groove 15 or the T-slot also enhances the reliability of the connection between the main body 213 and the housing 10. When the odor diffusion mechanism is working, even if the odor diffusion mechanism is subjected to a certain external force or vibration, the closing member 21 is not easily dislodged or displaced, improving the stability of the odor diffusion mechanism. Among them, from the opening of the dovetail groove 15 or the T-shaped groove towards the bottom of the groove, the size of the dovetail groove 15 and the T-shaped groove near the opening becomes smaller.

[0051] Furthermore, along the first direction, the second channel 122 has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other. A stop portion 132 is provided on the baffle plate 131. The stop portion 132 is disposed near the first side of the second channel 122. The distance between the stop portion 132 and the second side of the second channel 122 is D1, and the minimum dimension of the baffle plate 131 along the first direction is D2, wherein D1 and D2 satisfy the relationship: D1≤D2.

[0052] Specifically, the stop portion 132 protrudes from the surface of the baffle plate 131. When the switch assembly 20 is in the second position, the stop portion 132 abuts against the closing member 21. The stop portion 132 can effectively limit the movement range of the closing member 21. When the operating member 22 moves the closing member 21 along the first direction, the stop portion 132 can prevent the closing member 21 from continuing to move excessively towards the first side of the second channel 122. D1≤D2, this setting ensures that when the switch assembly 20 is in the second position, the closing member 21 spans the second channel 122, ensuring that the closing member 21 can effectively close the second channel 122 and effectively prevent the air in the first chamber 11 from diffusing into the second chamber 12. If D1>D2, the closing member 21 will not be able to completely cover the second channel 122, and the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 can still communicate with each other. After the user turns off the aromatherapy function, the air with the scent of the scent diffuser 111 will diffuse outside the housing 10, causing the aromatherapy function to fail to turn off.

[0053] Furthermore, the closure 21 also includes a latching portion 215. A latching engagement portion 216, adapted to the latching portion 215, is provided on the inner wall surface of the first chamber 11 or the second chamber 12. When the switch assembly 20 is in the second position, the latching portion 215 engages with the latching engagement portion 216. The latching engagement portion 216 can be configured as a recess, and two recesses are provided. The latching portion 215 can be configured as a protrusion. When the switch assembly 20 is in the second or first position, the latching portion 215 is located within the recess. The latching portion 215 engages with the latching engagement portion 216, and the latching portion 215 and the latching engagement portion 216 vibrate. This vibration can be transmitted to the operating handle 222 and then to the user, allowing the user to clearly perceive whether the closure 21 is in the first or second position.

[0054] Furthermore, a plurality of limiting posts 112 are provided on the inner wall surface of the first chamber 11. The multiple limiting posts 112 are spaced apart and surround the outer periphery of the odor diffuser 111, with the side of each limiting post 112 closest to the odor diffuser 111 being press-fitted with the odor diffuser 111. The multiple limiting posts 112 effectively fix the odor diffuser 111 within the first chamber 11. Even if vibration occurs during the operation of the cleaning equipment, the odor diffuser 111 can maintain a stable position, without shaking, shifting, or even falling off, ensuring the normal functioning of the aromatherapy.

[0055] Furthermore, a first mesh 123 is provided through the first sidewall of the second chamber 12, forming a first channel 121. A second mesh 124 is provided through the second sidewall of the second chamber 12 opposite to the first sidewall, and the second mesh 124 is at least used to communicate with the air outlet of a predetermined fan on the cleaning equipment. The airflow generated by the predetermined fan can accelerate the flow of air in the second chamber 12. The rapidly flowing air can more effectively carry the odor emitted by the odor diffuser 111 and diffuse it quickly, enhancing the deodorizing effect of the odor diffuser 111. By setting the first mesh 123 on the first sidewall and the second mesh 124 on the opposite second sidewall, the direction of airflow can be precisely guided. The airflow blown out by the predetermined fan enters the second chamber 12 through the second mesh 124, carries the fragrance, and then exits through the first mesh 123, so that the airflow can fully mix with the fragrance and carry it out, improving the utilization rate and diffusion efficiency of the fragrance. The first mesh 123 and the second mesh 124 can prevent larger debris from entering the odor diffusion mechanism to a certain extent. Larger dust particles, hair, and other debris will be blocked by the first mesh 123 and the second mesh 124, protecting the odor diffusion mechanism from interference and damage by debris, and extending the service life of the odor diffusion mechanism.

[0056] The cleaning equipment is equipped with a dust collection box and a pre-set fan. The air inlet of the pre-set fan uses negative pressure to draw debris from the cleaning unit (such as a sweeping robot, floor scrubber, or mop) into the dust collection box. The air outlet of the pre-set fan and the second mesh 124 are connected to the second chamber 12 of the odor diffusion mechanism. Air entering the second chamber 12 flows out through the first channel 121 to the outside of the housing 10. When the switch assembly 20 is in the first position, the odor emitted by the odor diffuser 111 can diffuse into the second chamber 12 and flow out through the first channel 121 to the outside of the housing 10 with the air. The odor diffuser 111 achieves a good deodorizing effect, resulting in a better user experience.

[0057] Furthermore, the housing 10 includes a first outer shell portion 16 and a second outer shell portion 17. A groove 161 is provided on the first outer shell portion 16, and a blocking member 13 is disposed within the groove 161, dividing the groove 161 into a first groove 1611 and a second groove 1612. A second mesh 124 is provided on the bottom surface of the second groove 1612. The second outer shell portion 17 is detachably fastened to the opening of the groove 161, and the second outer shell portion 17, near the side wall of the first groove 1611 and the inner wall of the first groove 1611, forms a first chamber 11. The second outer shell portion 17, near the side wall of the second groove 1612 and the inner wall of the second groove 1612, forms a second chamber 12. The housing 10 employs a detachable fastening method between the first outer shell portion 16 and the second outer shell portion 17. During assembly, simply fastening the second outer shell portion 17 to the opening of the groove 161 completes the assembly, making the operation simple and convenient. When it is necessary to maintain, clean or replace the odor diffusion component 111 of the odor diffusion mechanism, the second outer shell 17 can be easily disassembled to facilitate the replacement of the odor diffusion component 111, which greatly improves the maintainability of the odor diffusion mechanism.

[0058] On the other hand, this application also provides a cleaning device that includes the aforementioned odor diffusion mechanism. Therefore, this cleaning device incorporates all the technical effects of the aforementioned odor diffusion mechanism. Since the technical effects of the odor diffusion mechanism have already been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here.

[0059] In another embodiment, the odor diffuser 111 may also be installed at the first channel 121.

[0060] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0061] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
