[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a surface cleaning device includes a housing 1 and a dust collection box 2. The housing 1 has a first through hole 11 in the middle, and a receiving groove 12 on the top of the housing 1. The dust collection box 2 is housed in the receiving groove 12. The outer end of the dust collection box 2 is hinged to the housing 1, and the inner end of the dust collection box 2 is detachably snapped to the housing 1 by a buckle 3. The dust collection box 2 has a hollow structure and is provided with a first air outlet 21 and a filter section 22. The cavity of the dust collection box 2 is connected to the middle of the cavity of the first through hole 11 through the filter section 22. The housing 1 is provided with a water storage tank 13, which is arranged around the periphery of the receiving groove 12. The water storage tank 13 is covered with a cover plate 14, and a water inlet 15 is provided on the cover plate 14. The water inlet 15 is filled with a removable sealing plug 16.

[0036] In application, the water storage tank 13 is arranged around the outer perimeter of the receiving tank 12, making the water storage tank 13 and the housing 1 an integral structure, which is more robust and can hold as much cleaning water as possible in a limited space. During operation, the sealing plug 16 is opened first, and then cleaning water is injected into the water storage tank 13 through the water inlet 15. The sealing plug 16 is then used to seal the water inlet 15 to prevent water overflow. After assembling the housing 1 and the main unit 8, the air inlet of the exhaust fan built into the main unit 8 is connected to the first air outlet 21 for exhaust, creating negative pressure on the dust collection box 2 and the cavity of the first through hole 11, thus removing dust. Dust and debris are drawn into the cavity of the first through hole 11 by negative pressure through the opening at the end of the first through hole 11. The filter section 22 filters the debris and dust, causing large debris to remain in the cavity of the first through hole 11, while small dust particles are filtered and adsorbed onto the filter section 22. During the dust collection process, even with the influence of wind, the relative position between the dust collection box 2 and the housing 1 remains fixed, avoiding gaps and making the dust collection work more thorough and efficient. By flipping the dust collection box 2, the dust collected on the filter section 22 of the dust collection box 2 can be emptied and cleaned, making cleaning convenient.

[0037] The filter section 22 is preferably a filter screen, and the sealing plug 16 is preferably a rubber plug (e.g., a rubber plug, a silicone plug, etc.).

The cover plate 14 is preferably connected to the housing 1 by snap-fit ​​or screw-fit.

[0038] In one embodiment, the two ends of the first through hole 11 are a first air inlet 111 and a second air outlet 112, respectively, and the size of the first through hole 11 gradually decreases along the direction from the first air inlet 111 to the second air outlet 112.

[0039] In application, this structural design helps to accommodate more waste, ensuring stable vacuuming while allowing enough waste to be stored in a limited space.

[0040] In one embodiment, a baffle 4 that can be opened in one direction outward is provided at the second air outlet 112.

[0041] In application, the air inlet of the built-in exhaust fan of the main unit 8 is connected to the first air outlet 21 to draw air, creating a negative pressure on the dust collection box 2 and the cavity of the first through hole 11. Dust and debris are sucked into the cavity of the first through hole 11 by the negative pressure of the first air inlet 111 at the end of the first through hole 11. At this time, the baffle 4 blocks the second air outlet 112 under the action of negative pressure, thereby increasing the negative pressure at the first air inlet 111, which greatly improves the dust collection efficiency.

[0042] In one embodiment, a water storage tank 13 houses a water pumping mechanism 5, which is provided with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The outer end of the inlet pipe is housed in the water storage tank 13 and abuts against the bottom of the water storage tank 13.

[0045] In application, the water pumping mechanism 5 pumps water from the water storage tank 13 to the guide channel 18 on the bottom plate of the housing 1 cavity through the water inlet and outlet pipes. The guide channel 18 guides the cleaning water to each drip hole 17, and the water drips from each drip hole 17 onto each turntable cleaning mechanism 6. Each turntable cleaning mechanism 6 performs cleaning under the moisture of the water, making the cleaning more thorough.

[0046] In one embodiment, the rotary cleaning mechanism 6 includes a rotary motor 61, a gear transmission assembly 62, a rotary support 63, and a rotary mop 64. The rotary motor 61 and the gear transmission assembly 62 are both housed and fixed in the cavity of the housing 1.

The water pumping mechanism 5 pumps water from the water storage tank 13 to the guide groove 18 on the bottom plate of the housing 1 cavity through the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe. The guide groove 18 guides the cleaning water to each drip hole 17. The water then drips through each drip hole 17 onto each turntable bracket 63 and / or turntable mop 64. Each turntable mop 64 rotates and cleans under the moisture of the water, making the cleaning work more efficient.

[0048] The turntable mop 64 and the turntable bracket 63 are preferably connected by Velcro, which facilitates the installation for cleaning the bottom surface and the cleaning after disassembly.

[0049] In one embodiment, the surface cleaning device further includes a plurality of electrode blocks 7, each of which is disposed on the outer side of the housing 1. The different electrodes of the pumping mechanism 5 and each rotary motor 61 are electrically connected to the different electrode blocks 7 one by one through different wires.

[0050] In application, the different electrodes of the pumping mechanism 5 and each rotary motor 61 are electrically connected to the different electrode blocks 7 one by one through different wires.

At this time, each electrode block 7 is electrically connected to each electrode plate in the main unit 8, thereby enabling the main unit 8 to supply power to the pumping mechanism 5 and each rotary motor 61, ensuring that the cleaning work can be carried out smoothly.

[0051] In this design, multiple positive electrode blocks 7 are assembled and fixed on one substrate, and multiple negative electrode blocks 7 are assembled and fixed on another substrate, which avoids short circuits caused by winding and increases the overall neatness, aesthetics, and safety factor.

[0052] In one embodiment, a guide groove 18 is provided on the bottom plate of the housing 1, the guide groove 18 extends and covers each drip hole 17, and the outer end of the water outlet pipe is suspended directly above the guide groove 18.

[0053] In application, the pumping mechanism 5 uses the inlet and outlet pipes to pump water from the water storage tank 13 to the guide channel 18 on the bottom plate of the housing 1 cavity. The guide channel 18 guides the cleaning water to each drip hole 17, avoiding water flowing everywhere and affecting normal operation, which helps to improve the stability of the operation.

[0054] In one embodiment, an auxiliary driven roller is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, which helps to increase the stability of the operation.

[0055] In one embodiment, the surface cleaning device further includes a main unit 8, which includes a drive unit and a lidar assembly 81. The probe of the lidar assembly 81 is disposed on the top of the main unit 8. The main unit 8 has an opening for mounting a housing 1.
