Detailed Implementation
[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] Please see Figure 1-9 As shown, this embodiment provides a double-helix sweeping robot mop arrangement structure, including a sweeping robot body 1 and a mounting bracket 2, which is detachably mounted on the sweeping robot body 1. A mop body 3 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 2. Multiple bundles of protruding strips 5 are fixedly mounted on the mop body 3. A connecting plate 7 is movably mounted at the front end of the mounting bracket 2. The mounting bracket 2 is provided with an elastic component 9 that allows the connecting plate 7 to extend and retract. Multiple locking teeth 4 are fixedly connected at intervals along the length direction of the connecting plate 7. The multiple locking teeth 4 are inclined towards the moving direction of the sweeping robot body 1. Multiple hook grooves 16 are fixedly connected at intervals on the locking teeth 4.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple convex strips 5 are spaced apart on the mop body 3. The convex strips 5 form a serpentine structure composed of multiple connected N-shaped structures (other shapes may also be used in other embodiments, which will not be described here). The mounting bracket 2 is detachably fixed to the robot vacuum body 1 through a specific connection method, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement of the mop body 3 and the mounting bracket 2. The mop body 3 and the mounting bracket 2 are also detachably connected (e.g., detachably connected by Velcro or buckles), making it easy to remove and clean or replace the mop body 3 in different states. The serpentine convex strips 5 on the mop body 3 play a key role in the mopping process. When the robot vacuum moves on the ground, the mop body 3 contacts the ground. The serpentine convex strips 5 increase the contact area between the mop body 3 and the ground, and at the same time generate friction in different directions during the movement. For stains on the ground, such as dust, footprints, light oil stains, etc., the convex strips 5 can act like small scrapers, using friction to scrape up the stains and remove them from the ground, achieving initial cleaning. As the robot moves forward, the connecting plate 7 and its teeth 4 and hook grooves 16 move accordingly. If it encounters obstacles on the ground, such as carpet edges or thresholds, the elastic component 9 causes the connecting plate 7 to move backward a certain distance relative to the mounting bracket 2, thus avoiding significant impact or obstruction to the robot. After the obstacle or debris passes, the elastic component 9 returns to its original state, pushing the connecting plate 7 back to its initial position, allowing the teeth 4 and hook grooves 16 to continue working. During the robot's movement, hair, fibers, and other linear debris on the ground are easily intercepted by the teeth 4. Due to the inclined design of the teeth 4, the debris will gradually slide towards the hook grooves 16 after being intercepted. The hook grooves 16 are designed to hook hair and other debris, preventing them from getting tangled on the mop body 3 or other parts of the robot, thus cleaning up debris and ensuring the robot can continue to work normally. The overall structure is easy to disassemble and assemble, facilitating maintenance and replacement, improving cleaning effect, assisting in cleaning debris, reducing the risk of tangling, and improving overall cleaning performance and ease of use.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 8As shown, the elastic component 9 includes a movable plate 91, which is movably disposed within the mounting bracket 2. The mounting bracket 2 has a movable groove 93 for the movable plate 91 to move within. The end of the connecting plate 7 facing away from the locking tooth 4 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 91. A spring 92 is located within the movable groove 93, and the spring 92 abuts against the end of the movable plate 91 facing away from the connecting plate 7. Specifically, when the connecting plate 7 and the locking tooth 4 are subjected to external force (such as encountering an obstacle), the movable plate 91 is pushed to compress the spring 92, causing the connecting plate 7 to move relative to the mounting bracket 2. After the external force disappears, the spring 92 resets and pushes the movable plate 91 and the connecting plate 7 back to their initial positions. The elastic component 9 provides elastic buffering for the connecting plate 7, allowing the connecting plate 7 to flexibly avoid obstacles, enhancing the device's adaptability to complex terrain, while ensuring that the locking tooth 4 can always perform functions such as clearing debris, extending the device's service life, and reducing damage caused by collisions.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, at least two snap-on plates 17 are fixedly connected to one end of the mounting bracket 2 away from the mop body 3. The robot vacuum cleaner body 1 is provided with a first slot 10 for the snap-on plates 17 to engage. An adjustment slot 12 is provided on the mounting bracket 2 adjacent to the snap-on plates 17. Specifically, the snap-on plates 17 engage with the first slot 10 on the robot vacuum cleaner body 1 to achieve the initial positioning and connection between the mounting bracket 2 and the robot vacuum cleaner body 1. The adjustment slot 12 can be used to facilitate the operation of the snap-on plates 17 during installation or disassembly to adjust the assembly and disassembly of the mounting bracket 2 and the robot vacuum cleaner body 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, multiple sets of insertion frames 15 are fixedly installed on the robot vacuum cleaner body 1. The mounting bracket 2 has multiple sets of slots 8 for the insertion frames 15 to be inserted into. A drain groove 18 communicating with the slots 8 is provided through the mounting bracket 2. Multiple locking blocks 19 are fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 2 within the slots 8. The insertion frames 15 have second slots 11 for the locking blocks 19 to engage. The robot vacuum cleaner body 1 has drain holes 13 relative to the slots 8 and drain grooves 18. The mop body 3 has multiple through holes 6. Specifically, when the mounting bracket 2 is installed with the robot vacuum cleaner body 1, the insertion frames 15 are inserted into the slots 8 of the mounting bracket 2, further positioning and connecting the mounting bracket 2 and the robot vacuum cleaner body 1. Simultaneously, the locking blocks 19 engage with the second slots 11 on the insertion frames 15, further securing the connection. The connection between the insertion frame 15 and the mounting bracket 2 prevents relative displacement between them during the operation of the sweeping robot. The drainage device (not shown in the figure, the structure and installation position of the drainage device are existing technology) inside the sweeping robot body 1 discharges water along the drain hole 13. The limiting effect of the insertion frame 15 and the slot 8 prevents water from flowing to the outside. The discharged water flows along the drain channel 18 to the mop body 3 and then out through the through hole 6, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the mop body 3. Furthermore, the sweeping robot body 1 inside the insertion frame 15 is provided with a diversion channel 14 that communicates with the drain hole 13. The diversion channel 14 has a serpentine structure formed by a wave-shaped groove. This facilitates the diversion of water discharged from the drain hole 13 to the drain channel 18, thus playing a diversion role.
[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, the mop body 3 includes an outer layer 31 and an inner layer 32. Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer layer 31 is made of a wear-resistant and easy-to-scrape-stain hard fiber material, such as nylon or polyester fiber, while the inner layer 32 is made of a highly absorbent soft fiber material, such as cotton fiber, viscose fiber, or bamboo fiber. By combining the different materials of the outer layer 31 and the inner layer 32, both the scraping and water absorption functions are taken into account, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the mop body 3, better meeting the mopping needs of the robot vacuum cleaner, and improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.
[0043] Working principle:
[0044] The serpentine strips 5 on the mop body 3 play a crucial role in the mopping process. As the robot vacuum moves across the floor, the mop body 3 contacts the ground, and the serpentine strips 5 increase the contact area between the mop body 3 and the ground. Simultaneously, they generate friction in different directions during movement. For stains on the floor, such as dust, footprints, and light oil stains, the strips 5 act like small scrapers, using friction to lift the stains off the ground, achieving initial cleaning. When the robot vacuum moves forward, the connecting plate 7 and its teeth 4 and hook grooves 16 move accordingly. If it encounters obstacles on the floor, such as carpet edges or thresholds, the elastic component 9 causes the connecting plate 7 to move backward a certain distance relative to the mounting bracket 2, thus preventing damage to the robot. When the obstacle or debris passes, the elastic component 9 returns to its original state, pushing the connecting plate 7 back to its initial position, so that the toothed teeth 4 and the hook groove 16 continue to work. During the movement of the sweeping robot, hair, fibers and other linear debris on the ground are easily intercepted by the toothed teeth 4. Due to the inclined setting of the toothed teeth 4, the debris will gradually slide into the hook groove 16 after being intercepted. The design of the hook groove 16 can hook hair and other debris, preventing them from getting tangled on the mop body 3 or other parts of the robot, thus playing a role in cleaning debris and ensuring that the sweeping robot can continue to work normally. The overall structure is simple to disassemble and assemble, which is conducive to maintenance and replacement, improves the cleaning effect, and can also assist in cleaning debris, reduce the risk of tangling, and improve the overall cleaning performance and ease of use.
