Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of sweeping and mopping cleaning devices, specifically involving cleaning devices and sweeping and mopping integrated machines. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most robot vacuums and mops consist of a suction motor and a mop. The suction motor uses air to suck up debris from the floor for sweeping, while the mop wipes the floor for mopping. This combination results in noticeable noise, a risk of secondary contamination of the mop, and relatively poor cleaning performance. Furthermore, the sweeping and mopping components are usually separate, leading to a complex structure and inconvenient maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the first aspect of this application provides a cleaning device, the cleaning device comprising:

[0004] The extrusion assembly includes a first sealing protrusion, an extrusion protrusion, and a second sealing protrusion;

[0005] The bracket has a water flow channel, and the first sealing protrusion, the compression protrusion, and the second sealing protrusion are sequentially spaced apart on the bracket, with the first sealing protrusion and the second sealing protrusion located on opposite sides of the water flow channel;

[0006] A flexible cleaning roller is disposed on the side of the support where the squeezing assembly is located. The flexible cleaning roller is capable of absorbing liquid and is used to hold the surface to be cleaned. The first sealing protrusion and the second sealing protrusion are used to seal and connect the flexible cleaning roller. A sealing channel is formed between the first sealing protrusion, the second sealing protrusion, and the flexible cleaning roller. The sealing channel is connected to the water flow channel. The squeezing protrusion is used to squeeze the flexible cleaning roller to obtain wastewater from the flexible cleaning roller. The wastewater flows from the sealing channel to the water flow channel.

[0007] The flexible cleaning roller is capable of rotating along a first direction and a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0008] The extrusion protrusion is located on the cavity wall of the water flow channel facing the flexible cleaning roller. The extrusion protrusion divides the water flow channel into two spaced sub-channels, which are arranged along the rotation direction of the flexible cleaning roller.

[0009] The cleaning device further includes a filter element disposed on the support. The filter element is used to filter impurities in the wastewater and is disposed between the sealing channel and the water flow channel. The extrusion protrusion is disposed on the side of the filter element facing the flexible cleaning roller.

[0010] The bracket is further provided with a separator, which is located on the cavity wall of the water flow channel and abuts against the filter element. The separator is provided corresponding to the extrusion protrusion and divides the water flow channel into two spaced sub-channels. The two sub-channels are arranged along the rotation direction of the flexible cleaning roller.

[0011] The filter element has a fixing groove on its surface facing the separator, and the fixing groove is used to accommodate the end of the separator.

[0012] The bracket is provided with an assembly groove for accommodating one end of the filter element, which is detachably connected to the bracket.

[0013] The bracket also has a stepped surface, which is spaced apart from and opposite to the assembly groove. The stepped surface is closer to the surface to be cleaned than the assembly groove, and the stepped surface is used to abut against the other end of the filter element.

[0014] The bracket has a front facing the flexible cleaning roller and a side that is bent and connected to the front. The mounting groove extends through the side, and the stepped surface is bent and connected to the side.

[0015] The cleaning device further includes a housing, and the bracket and the flexible cleaning roller are disposed inside the housing. The housing has a clean water pipe and a sewage pipe. The clean water pipe is connected to one end of the water flow channel, and the sewage pipe is connected to the other end of the water flow channel. The clean water pipe is used to input clean water, and the sewage pipe is used to discharge sewage.

[0016] The second aspect of this application provides a sweeping and mopping machine, which includes a control component and a cleaning device as provided in the first aspect of this application. The control component is disposed on the cleaning device and is used to control the operation of the cleaning device.

[0017] The cleaning device and sweeping and mopping machine provided in this application form a sealed channel between the first sealing protrusion and the second sealing protrusion and the flexible cleaning roller by setting a first sealing protrusion and a second sealing protrusion on the bracket. In addition, the squeezing protrusion located in the middle squeezes water out of the flexible cleaning roller, so that the flexible cleaning roller can perform cleaning work when rotating in the first direction and the second direction. Specifically, when the flexible cleaning roller rotates in the first direction, it can sweep away garbage and perform sweeping cleaning work. When the flexible cleaning roller rotates in the second direction, it can remove dirt and perform mopping cleaning work.

[0018] Therefore, this application, by setting up a bracket with a first sealing protrusion, a compression protrusion, and a second sealing protrusion in conjunction with a flexible cleaning roller, can first control the flexible cleaning roller to rotate in a first direction for heavy sweeping and light mopping, and then control the flexible cleaning roller to rotate in a second direction for heavy mopping and light sweeping, thereby improving the cleaning effect and reducing working noise; moreover, by integrating sweeping and mopping cleaning functions into the flexible cleaning roller, the structure is simplified, maintenance is convenient, and the user experience is improved.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The following are preferred embodiments of this application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, please refer to the following: Figures 1-12 This embodiment provides a cleaning device 1, which includes a support 11, a flexible cleaning roller 12, and a squeezing assembly. The squeezing assembly includes a first sealing protrusion 131, a squeezing protrusion 132, and a second sealing protrusion 133. The support 11 has a water flow channel 111, and the support 11 is provided with the first sealing protrusion 131, the squeezing protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133 arranged sequentially at intervals, with the first sealing protrusion 131 and the second sealing protrusion 133 located on opposite sides of the water flow channel 111. The flexible cleaning roller 12 is located on the side of the support 11 where the squeezing assembly is located, and the flexible cleaning roller 12 is capable of absorbing liquid. 12 is used to hold the surface to be cleaned. The first sealing protrusion 131 and the second sealing protrusion 133 are used to seal and connect the flexible cleaning roller 12. A sealing channel 134 is formed between the first sealing protrusion 131, the second sealing protrusion 133 and the flexible cleaning roller 12. The sealing channel 134 is connected to the water flow channel 111. The squeezing protrusion 132 is used to squeeze the flexible cleaning roller 12 to obtain wastewater from the flexible cleaning roller 12. The wastewater flows from the sealing channel 134 to the water flow channel 111.

[0035] The flexible cleaning roller 12 is capable of rotating along a first direction and a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0036] The cleaning device 1 provided in this embodiment mainly includes a flexible cleaning roller 12, a support 11, and a squeezing assembly. However, this does not mean that the cleaning device 1 can only include these three structures. The cleaning device 1 may include a filter element 14, a housing, a brush roller, a cleaning shovel 16, a garbage box, a motor, a clean water tank, a wastewater tank, a water pump, an air pump, etc.

[0037] The flexible cleaning roller 12, support frame 11, extrusion assembly, filter element 14, brush roller, cleaning shovel 16, garbage bin, motor, clean water tank, wastewater tank, water pump, and air pump are all housed within the casing. The extrusion assembly is located between the support frame 11 and the flexible cleaning roller 12, the cleaning shovel 16 is located between the flexible cleaning roller 12 and the garbage bin, and the brush roller is located further away from the surface to be cleaned than the cleaning shovel 16. The cleaning shovel 16 and the brush roller are located on the side of the flexible cleaning roller 12 opposite to the support frame 11.

[0038] The flexible cleaning roller 12 is capable of absorbing liquid and is elastic. The flexible cleaning roller 12 is used to sweep away debris and remove dirt from the surface to be cleaned. The support 11 is used to cooperate with the flexible cleaning roller 12 to achieve a seal and to squeeze out wastewater from the flexible cleaning roller 12. The filter element 14 is used to filter impurities from the wastewater.

[0039] The outer periphery of the brush roller is provided with bristles, and the brush roller is used to sweep away the debris from the self-cleaning roller 12. The cleaning shovel 16 is used to collect and guide the movement of debris, and the debris box is used to store debris. The debris removed by the self-cleaning shovel 16 can be stored in the debris box. The motor is used to drive the rotation of the flexible cleaning roller 12 and also to drive the rotation of the brush roller.

[0040] The clean water tank stores clean water, and the wastewater tank stores wastewater. A water pump draws clean water from the clean water tank and outputs it to the flexible cleaning roller 12. An air pump evacuates the wastewater tank, creating a negative pressure environment that draws wastewater into it.

[0041] The support 11 has a water flow channel 111 for storing and guiding wastewater from the flexible cleaning roller 12. The housing has a clean water pipe and a wastewater pipe. The clean water pipe connects the clean water tank to one end of the water flow channel 111, and the wastewater pipe connects the wastewater tank to the other end of the water flow channel 111. The clean water pipe is used to input clean water, and the wastewater pipe is used to discharge wastewater. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates, the clean water in the clean water tank flows to the flexible cleaning roller 12 through the clean water pipe and the water flow channel 111. Meanwhile, the wastewater in the flexible cleaning roller 12 is squeezed out by the compression protrusion 132 and flows to the wastewater tank through the water flow channel 111 and the wastewater pipe, thereby cleaning the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0042] Optionally, the cleaning device 1 further includes two sealing elements respectively disposed at opposite ends of the bracket 11, the two sealing elements being used to seal the water flow channel 111. A clean water pipe passes through one sealing element and is connected to the water flow channel 111, and a sewage pipe passes through the other sealing element and is connected to the water flow channel 111.

[0043] This application also provides a sweeping and mopping robot 2, which includes a control component and a cleaning device 1. The control component is disposed on the cleaning device 1. The control component includes a controller and a sensor electrically connected to each other. The sensor is used to acquire sensing information and send the sensing information to the controller. The controller is used to receive the sensing information and control the cleaning device 1 to operate according to the sensing information.

[0044] The sweeper-mop combo 2 also includes a moving component, which is located on the cleaning device 1 and is used to move the sweeper-mop combo 2 and the control component. Optionally, the moving component includes multiple wheels that can rotate relative to the surface to be cleaned, thereby moving the sweeper-mop combo 2 and the control component.

[0045] When the cleaning device 1 performs sweeping operations, the motor drives the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the first direction, which in turn drives the brush roller to rotate in the first direction. The rotation direction of the moving component is the same as the first direction. As the flexible cleaning roller 12 sweeps away the garbage placed on the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning blades 16 collect and guide the garbage to move, and the brush roller sweeps the garbage on the flexible cleaning roller 12 into the garbage box. Here, garbage refers to unwanted or useless solid or liquid substances, which are waste generated by users in production, consumption, daily life, and other activities. Examples include used toilet paper, scattered vegetable roots, and fruit peels.

[0046] When the cleaning device 1 performs mopping operations, the motor drives the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the second direction. The rotating component rotates in the opposite direction to the second direction to remove dirt from the surface to be cleaned. Dirt refers to mud, oil stains, or other impurities that have soiled the surface to be cleaned; dirt can adhere to the surface of an object. Examples include dust and oil stains.

[0047] This embodiment limits the first direction to be the same as the rotation direction of the moving component, so that the flexible cleaning roller 12 cooperates with the cleaning blade 16 of the sweeping and mopping machine to sweep away garbage; this embodiment limits the second direction to be opposite to the rotation direction of the moving component, so as to increase the friction between the flexible cleaning roller 12 and the surface to be cleaned, which is beneficial to removing dirt and improving the cleaning effect of the sweeping and mopping machine 2.

[0048] It should be noted that the working order of the various structural components of the cleaning device 1 is not sequential and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0049] The bracket 11 provided in this embodiment is mounted on the housing and is further provided with a first sealing protrusion 131, a compression protrusion 132, and a second sealing protrusion 133. The bracket 11 and the compression assembly are located on the same side of the flexible cleaning roller 12. The compression assembly includes the first sealing protrusion 131, the compression protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133. The compression protrusion 132 is located between the first sealing protrusion 131 and the second sealing protrusion 133. The first sealing protrusion 131 and the flexible cleaning roller 12 are press-fitted together, and the second sealing protrusion 133 is also press-fitted together. The first sealing protrusion 131, the compression protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the rotation direction of the flexible cleaning roller 12. The first sealing protrusion 131, the compression protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133 all extend axially along the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0050] Optionally, the first sealing protrusion 131, the extrusion protrusion 132, the second sealing protrusion 133, and the bracket 11 are integral structural components. Optionally, the first sealing protrusion 131, the extrusion protrusion 132, the second sealing protrusion 133, and the bracket 11 are separate structural components. Optionally, some components of the first sealing protrusion 131, the extrusion protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133 are integral structural components with the bracket 11, while the remaining components of the first sealing protrusion 131, the extrusion protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133 are separate structural components with the bracket 11.

[0051] Optionally, the first sealing protrusion 131, the compression protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133 are directly disposed on the bracket 11; or, the first sealing protrusion 131, the compression protrusion 132, and the second sealing protrusion 133 are indirectly disposed on the bracket 11 through other components.

[0052] Optionally, the distance between the extrusion protrusion 132 and the first sealing protrusion 131 is equal to the distance between the extrusion protrusion 132 and the second sealing protrusion 133. In other words, the extrusion protrusion 132 is located in the middle between the first sealing protrusion 131 and the second sealing protrusion 133.

[0053] Optionally, the width of the compression protrusion 132 is greater than the width of the first sealing protrusion 131, and the width of the compression protrusion 132 is greater than the width of the second sealing protrusion 133. Optionally, along the arrangement direction from the water flow channel 111 to the flexible cleaning roller 12, the width of the first sealing protrusion 131 gradually decreases, the width of the second sealing protrusion 133 gradually decreases, and the width of the compression protrusion 132 gradually decreases.

[0054] Optionally, the protrusion height of the first seal relative to the bracket 11 is equal to the protrusion height of the second seal relative to the bracket 11. Optionally, the protrusion height of the compression protrusion 132 relative to the bracket 11 is less than or equal to the protrusion height of the first seal relative to the bracket 11.

[0055] The flexible cleaning roller 12 provided in this embodiment is used to sweep away debris and remove dirt from a surface to be cleaned. The flexible cleaning roller 12 can rotate along its own axis, and its outer periphery is made of a flexible material capable of adsorbing fine dust, impurities, and other substances. The flexible cleaning roller 12 rubs against the surface to be cleaned to adsorb dirt, debris, and other substances onto the roller, thereby achieving cleaning of the surface.

[0056] The flexible cleaning roller 12 can move along a first direction (such as...) Figure 6 (as shown in D1) and the second direction ... Figure 6 As shown in D2, the flexible cleaning roller 12 can rotate in various directions, for example, clockwise in the first direction and counterclockwise in the second direction. Alternatively, the first direction can be counterclockwise and the second direction clockwise. Rotation of the flexible cleaning roller 12 in the first direction can be understood as forward rotation, and rotation of the flexible cleaning roller 12 in the second direction can be understood as reverse rotation. Optionally, the flexible cleaning roller 12 can rotate in the first direction to sweep away debris placed on the surface to be cleaned, and the flexible cleaning roller 12 can also rotate in the second direction to remove dirt placed on the surface to be cleaned.

[0057] In summary, the cleaning device 1 provided in this embodiment forms a sealed channel 134 between the first sealing protrusion 131, the second sealing protrusion 133, and the flexible cleaning roller 12 by setting a first sealing protrusion 131 and a second sealing protrusion 133 on the bracket 11. In addition, the squeezing protrusion 132 located in the middle squeezes water out of the flexible cleaning roller 12, so that the flexible cleaning roller 12 can perform cleaning work when rotating in the first direction and the second direction. Specifically, when the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the first direction, it can sweep away garbage and perform sweeping cleaning work. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the second direction, it can remove dirt and perform mopping cleaning work.

[0058] Therefore, this embodiment, by setting up a bracket 11 with a first sealing protrusion 131, a pressing protrusion 132, and a second sealing protrusion 133 in conjunction with a flexible cleaning roller 12, can first control the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in a first direction for heavy sweeping and light mopping, and then control the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in a second direction for heavy mopping and light sweeping, thereby improving the cleaning effect and reducing working noise; moreover, by integrating sweeping and mopping cleaning functions into the flexible cleaning roller 12, the structure is simplified, maintenance is convenient, and the user experience is improved.

[0059] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-4In one embodiment, the cleaning device 1 further includes a filter element 14 disposed on the support 11. The filter element 14 is used to filter impurities in the wastewater. The filter element 14 is disposed between the sealing channel 134 and the water flow channel 111. The extrusion protrusion 132 is disposed on the side of the filter element 14 facing the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0060] The filter element 14 provided in this embodiment is used to filter impurities. The filter element 14 has multiple through holes 142 connecting the sealing channel 134 and the water flow channel 111, through which wastewater and clean water can pass. The filter element 14 is further away from the flexible cleaning roller 12 than the first sealing protrusion 131, and further away from the flexible cleaning roller 12 than the second sealing protrusion 133. Optionally, the filter element 14 is fixedly connected to the bracket 11, or the filter element 14 is detachably connected to the bracket 11. For example, the connection method between the filter element 14 and the bracket 11 can be a threaded connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0061] The wastewater from the self-cleaning roller 12 is filtered by the filter element 14 before entering the water flow channel 111. The filter element 14 intercepts large particles, fibers and other impurities in the wastewater, preventing them from entering the water flow channel 111. This ensures that the water flow channel 111 is unobstructed, avoids blockage, helps maintain the cleanliness of the water flow channel 111, and reduces the cleaning work required by the user.

[0062] A compression protrusion 132 is provided on the filter element 14, and the compression protrusion 132 protrudes toward the flexible cleaning roller 12. Optionally, the compression protrusion 132 and the filter element 14 are integral structural components; or, the compression protrusion 132 is detachably connected to the filter element 14.

[0063] In summary, this embodiment, by setting up a filter element 14 and placing the extrusion protrusion 132 on the filter element 14, not only can it cooperate with the first sealing protrusion 131 and the second sealing protrusion 133 to allow the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the first and second directions to achieve sweeping and mopping cleaning, but it also intercepts impurities on the filter element 14, preventing the water flow channel 111 from becoming blocked, reducing the cleaning work of the water flow channel 111, and improving the user experience.

[0064] Please refer to this as well. Figures 5-7 In one embodiment, the extrusion protrusion 132 is disposed on the cavity wall of the water flow channel 111 facing the flexible cleaning roller 12, and the extrusion protrusion 132 divides the water flow channel 111 into two spaced sub-channels 1111, the two sub-channels 1111 being arranged along the rotation direction of the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0065] The extrusion protrusion 132 is fixed to the cavity wall of the water flow channel 111. The extrusion protrusion 132 protrudes towards the flexible cleaning roller 12. Optionally, the extrusion protrusion 132 and the bracket 11 are integral structural components; or, the extrusion protrusion 132 is detachably connected to the bracket 11.

[0066] The extrusion protrusion 132 divides the water flow channel 111 into two sub-channels 1111, for example, one sub-channel 1111 is located below the other sub-channel 1111. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates, the extrusion protrusion 132 in the middle squeezes water out of the flexible cleaning roller 12, and the sewage flows from the two sub-channels 1111 through the sewage pipe to the sewage tank; and the clean water flows through the clean water pipe, then through the two sub-channels 1111 to the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0067] In summary, this embodiment, by providing extrusion protrusions 132 on the cavity wall of the water flow channel 111, not only can it cooperate with the first sealing protrusion 131 and the second sealing protrusion 133 to enable the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the first and second directions to achieve sweeping and mopping cleaning, but it can also divide the water flow channel 111 into two sub-channels 1111, which is beneficial to separate the clean water and sewage in the water flow channel 111, reduce the probability of channel blockage caused by impurities in the sewage, and also allow the clean water to better contact the flexible cleaning roller 12, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0068] Please refer to this as well. Figures 8-11 In one embodiment, the support 11 is further provided with a separator 15, which is disposed on the cavity wall of the water flow channel 111 and abuts against the filter element 14. The separator 15 is disposed corresponding to the extrusion protrusion 132. The separator 15 divides the water flow channel 111 into two sub-channels 1111 spaced apart. The two sub-channels 1111 are arranged along the rotation direction of the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0069] The separator 15 is fixed to the cavity wall of the water flow channel 111. The separator 15 protrudes towards the flexible cleaning roller 12 and extends axially along the flexible cleaning roller 12. Optionally, the separator 15 and the bracket 11 are integral structural components; or, the separator 15 is detachably connected to the bracket 11. The separator 15 is provided corresponding to the extrusion protrusion 132, which can also be understood as at least a portion of the orthographic projection of the separator 15 on the filter element 14 coinciding with the orthographic projection of the extrusion protrusion 132 on the filter element 14.

[0070] The separator 15 divides the water flow channel 111 into two sub-channels 1111, for example, one sub-channel 1111 is located below the other sub-channel 1111. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates, the squeezing protrusion 132 in the middle squeezes water out of the flexible cleaning roller 12, and the sewage flows from the two sub-channels 1111 through the sewage pipe to the sewage tank; and the clean water flows through the clean water pipe, then through the two sub-channels 1111 to the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0071] One end of the separator 15 is connected to the cavity wall of the water flow channel 111, and the other end abuts against the side of the filter element 14 away from the flexible cleaning roller 12. Optionally, the separator 15 and the filter element 14 are fixedly connected, or the separator 15 and the filter element 14 are detachably connected. For example, the connection method between the separator 15 and the filter element 14 can be a snap-fit, a threaded connection, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0072] In summary, this embodiment, by providing a separator 15 on the cavity wall of the water flow channel 111, not only divides the water flow channel 111 into two sub-channels 1111, which facilitates the separation of clean water and sewage within the water flow channel 111 and reduces the probability of channel blockage caused by impurities in the sewage, but also allows the clean water to better contact the flexible cleaning roller 12, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Moreover, the separator 15 is provided corresponding to the extrusion protrusion 132, and the separator 15 can support the filter element 14, which helps to improve the extrusion effect of the extrusion protrusion 132 on the flexible cleaning roller 12, avoids the extrusion protrusion 132 from shifting and causing a decrease in the extrusion effect, and improves the reliability of the cleaning device 1.

[0073] Please refer to this as well. Figures 8-11 In one embodiment, the filter element 14 has a fixing groove 141 on the surface facing the separator 15, the fixing groove 141 being used to accommodate the end of the separator 15.

[0074] The end of the separator 15 is disposed within the fixing groove 141, abutting against the groove wall of the fixing groove 141, and is snapped into the fixing groove 141. The fixing groove 141 is provided corresponding to the pressing protrusion 132. Optionally, the width of the fixing groove 141 gradually decreases along the arrangement direction from the water flow channel 111 to the flexible cleaning roller 12. Optionally, the width of the end of the separator 15 gradually decreases along the arrangement direction from the water flow channel 111 to the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0075] In summary, this embodiment improves the connection performance between the separator 15 and the filter element 14 by setting a fixing groove 141 in the filter element 14 and placing the end of the separator 15 in the fixing groove 141. This makes it easier for the separator 15 to support the filter element 14, further improves the squeezing effect of the extrusion protrusion 132 on the flexible cleaning roller 12, further avoids the displacement of the extrusion protrusion 132 that would lead to a decrease in the squeezing effect, and further improves the reliability of the cleaning device 1.

[0076] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-11 In one embodiment, the bracket 11 is provided with an assembly groove 112 for accommodating one end of the filter element 14, and the filter element 14 is detachably connected to the bracket 11.

[0077] The assembly groove 112 extends along the axis of the flexible cleaning roller 12. The assembly groove 112 is located between the water flow channel 111 and the sealing channel 134. The assembly groove 112 is located on the inner wall of the support 11. A portion of the filter element 14 is disposed within the assembly groove 112, abutting against the groove wall of the assembly groove 112, and is snapped into place within the assembly groove 112. Optionally, the assembly groove 112 is U-shaped or a U-shaped groove.

[0078] In summary, this embodiment improves the connection performance between the filter element 14 and the support 11 by providing the assembly groove 112 on the support 11, reduces the risk of the filter element 14 falling off, and improves the reliability of the cleaning device 1.

[0079] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-11 In one embodiment, the bracket 11 is further provided with a stepped surface 113, which is spaced apart from and opposite to the assembly groove 112. The stepped surface 113 is closer to the surface to be cleaned than the assembly groove 112, and the stepped surface 113 is used to abut against the other end of the filter element 14.

[0080] A stepped surface 113 extends along the axis of the flexible cleaning roller 12. The stepped surface 113 is located between the water flow channel 111 and the sealing channel 134. The stepped surface 113 is located on the inner wall of the support 11. For example, the stepped surface 113 is located below the assembly. A portion of the filter element 14 abuts against the surface of the stepped surface 113 facing the flexible cleaning roller 12. The stepped surface 113 can support the filter element 14.

[0081] In summary, this embodiment provides a stepped surface 113 on the bracket 11. The stepped surface 113 not only supports the filter element 14 and prevents the filter element 14 from shifting, but also cooperates with the assembly to further improve the connection performance between the filter element 14 and the bracket 11, further reduce the risk of the filter element 14 falling off, and further improve the reliability of the cleaning device 1.

[0082] In addition, by providing a stepped surface 113 below the assembly groove 112 instead of a groove, it is possible to prevent impurities from sewage from accumulating in the groove gaps, thereby reducing the chance of blockage of the sealing channel 134, reducing the cleaning work of the sealing channel 134, and improving the user experience.

[0083] In one embodiment, the bracket 11 has a front facing the flexible cleaning roller 12 and a side bent to connect the front, the mounting groove 112 extending through the side and the stepped surface 113 bent to connect the side.

[0084] The mounting groove 112 extends through the side, and the stepped surface 113 bends to connect the front and the side. For example, the filter element 14 can be inserted into the mounting groove 112 and the stepped surface 113 from the side, thereby installing the filter element 14 onto the bracket 11. Alternatively, when impurities accumulate on the filter element 14, the user can pull out the filter element 14 from the side, detaching it from the mounting groove 112 and the stepped surface 113 for cleaning.

[0085] In summary, this embodiment allows the assembly groove 112 and the stepped surface 113 to pass through the side, enabling the user to insert and remove the filter element 14 from the side, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing and removing the filter element 14 and improving the user experience.

[0086] In one embodiment, the cleaning device 1 further includes a housing, the bracket 11 and the flexible cleaning roller 12 are disposed inside the housing, the housing has a clean water pipe and a sewage pipe, the clean water pipe is connected to one end of the water flow channel 111, and the sewage pipe is connected to the other end of the water flow channel 111, the clean water pipe is used to input clean water, and the sewage pipe is used to discharge sewage.

[0087] Specifically, when the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates, the clean water in the clean water tank flows through the clean water pipe to the water flow channel 111 and then to the flexible cleaning roller 12 to replenish the clean water in the flexible cleaning roller 12; and the sewage on the flexible cleaning roller 12 is squeezed out by the squeezing protrusion 132, and the sewage flows through the water flow channel 111 to the sewage pipe and then to the sewage tank to discharge the sewage on the flexible cleaning roller 12.

[0088] In summary, this embodiment, by setting up clean water pipes and sewage pipes to cooperate with the flexible cleaning roller 12 for cleaning work, realizes the self-cleaning of the flexible cleaning roller 12 by the living water channel during operation, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device 1.

[0089] Please refer to this as well. Figures 5-12This application also provides a sweeping and mopping machine 2, which includes a control component and a cleaning device 1 as described above. The control component is disposed on the cleaning device 1 and is used to control the operation of the cleaning device 1.

[0090] The sweeping and mopping machine 2 provided in this embodiment adopts the cleaning device 1 provided in this application. A first sealing protrusion 131 and a second sealing protrusion 133 are provided on the bracket 11 of the cleaning device 1, so that a sealed channel 134 is formed between the first sealing protrusion 131, the second sealing protrusion 133 and the flexible cleaning roller 12. In addition, the squeezing protrusion 132 located in the middle squeezes water out of the flexible cleaning roller 12, so that the flexible cleaning roller 12 can perform cleaning work when rotating in the first direction and the second direction. Specifically, when the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the first direction, it can sweep away garbage and perform sweeping cleaning work. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the second direction, it can remove dirt and perform mopping cleaning work.

[0091] Therefore, this embodiment, by setting up a bracket 11 with a first sealing protrusion 131, a pressing protrusion 132, and a second sealing protrusion 133 in conjunction with a flexible cleaning roller 12, can first control the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in a first direction for heavy sweeping and light mopping, and then control the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in a second direction for heavy mopping and light sweeping, thereby improving the cleaning effect and reducing working noise; moreover, by integrating sweeping and mopping cleaning functions into the flexible cleaning roller 12, the structure is simplified, maintenance is convenient, and the user experience is improved.

[0092] Please refer to this as well. Figures 5-12 The cleaning method of the cleaning device 1 provided in this application is described below, and the cleaning method includes:

[0093] Provide the cleaning device 1 as described above in this application.

[0094] The flexible cleaning roller 12 is controlled to rotate in a first direction to remove debris placed on the surface to be cleaned.

[0095] The flexible cleaning roller 12 is controlled to rotate in the second direction to clean the dirt placed on the surface to be cleaned.

[0096] Specifically, first, the flexible cleaning roller 12 is controlled to rotate in the first direction, with heavy sweeping and light mopping, focusing on sweeping and cleaning, and emphasizing sweeping the garbage on the surface to be cleaned into the garbage box. Then, the flexible cleaning roller 12 is controlled to rotate in the second direction, with heavy mopping and light sweeping, focusing on mopping and cleaning, and emphasizing cleaning the dirt on the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving the overall cleaning effect of the cleaning device 1.

[0097] The sweeping and mopping machine 2 includes a moving component, which is located on the cleaning device 1. The moving component is used to drive the sweeping and mopping machine 2 and the control component to move. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates along the first direction, the rotation direction of the moving component is the same as the first direction. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates along the second direction, the rotation direction of the moving component is opposite to the second direction.

[0098] Optionally, the power of the motor controlling the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the first direction is the first power, and the power of the motor controlling the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the second direction is the second power, and the first power is equal to the second power.

[0099] Optionally, the rotational speed of the flexible cleaning roller 12 controlled by the motor in the first direction is designated as the first rotational speed, and the rotational speed of the flexible cleaning roller 12 controlled by the motor in the second direction is designated as the second rotational speed, where the first rotational speed is less than the second rotational speed. By limiting the first rotational speed, which focuses on sweeping, and the second rotational speed, which focuses on mopping, the cleaning effect of sweeping and mopping is ensured while reducing power consumption and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the power supply, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0100] Optionally, when the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the first direction, the flow rate of clean water entering the water flow channel 111 is the first flow rate; when the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the second direction, the flow rate of clean water entering the water flow channel 111 is the second flow rate, and the first flow rate is less than the second flow rate. By limiting the first flow rate for heavy sweeping and the second flow rate for heavy mopping, water consumption is reduced and the energy utilization efficiency of water sources is improved while ensuring the cleaning effect of sweeping and mopping, thereby improving the user experience.

[0101] In summary, the cleaning method provided in this embodiment employs the cleaning device 1 provided in this application. A first sealing protrusion 131 and a second sealing protrusion 133 are provided on the bracket 11 of the cleaning device 1, forming a sealed channel 134 between the first sealing protrusion 131, the second sealing protrusion 133, and the flexible cleaning roller 12. In conjunction with the squeezing protrusion 132 located in the middle, water is squeezed out of the flexible cleaning roller 12, so that the flexible cleaning roller 12 can perform cleaning work when rotating in both the first and second directions. Specifically, when the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the first direction, it can sweep away garbage and perform sweeping cleaning work. When the flexible cleaning roller 12 rotates in the second direction, it can remove dirt and perform mopping cleaning work.

[0102] Furthermore, by limiting the first direction to be the same as the rotation direction of the moving component, this embodiment enables the flexible cleaning roller 12 to cooperate with the cleaning blade 16 of the sweeping and mopping machine to remove garbage. By limiting the second direction to be opposite to the rotation direction of the moving component, this embodiment can increase the friction between the flexible cleaning roller 12 and the surface to be cleaned, which is beneficial for removing dirt and improving the cleaning effect of the sweeping and mopping machine 2.

[0103] Therefore, the cleaning method of this embodiment can first control the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the first direction, sweeping heavily and dragging lightly, and then control the flexible cleaning roller 12 to rotate in the second direction, dragging heavily and sweeping lightly, thereby improving the cleaning effect and reducing working noise.
