To remove the trash can, the cover of the housing must be opened first, and then the trash can be taken out from inside the housing. The process of removing the trash can is rather cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a cleaning device to solve the technical problem that the process of removing the trash can in the cleaning device is cumbersome in the related art.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a cleaning device, the cleaning device comprising:

[0005] A housing, wherein an opening is provided at one end;

[0006] A cleaning component, wherein the cleaning component is disposed within the housing;

[0007] A trash can assembly is disposed on one side of the cleaning assembly and covers the opening. The trash can is slidably connected to the housing along a first direction. The trash can assembly slides relative to the housing along the first direction to be disposed within the opening. The trash can assembly slides relative to the housing in the opposite direction of the first direction to move out of the opening. The first direction is the travel direction of the cleaning device.

[0008] The cleaning device provided in this application has an opening at one end of the housing. A cleaning component is housed inside the housing, and a waste container assembly is located on one side of the cleaning component, covering the opening. The waste container is slidably connected to the housing along a first direction. The waste container assembly slides relative to the housing along the first direction to be positioned within the opening, and slides relative to the housing in the opposite direction to move out of the opening. The first direction is the direction of travel of the cleaning device. When the waste container assembly slides along the first direction, it enters the opening of the housing, where it collects the waste removed by the cleaning component. When it is necessary to clean the waste inside the waste container assembly, it can slide in the opposite direction to move out of the opening, allowing the user to easily remove the waste container assembly for emptying and cleaning, thus improving the ease of use of the cleaning device.

[0009] The inner wall of the housing is provided with a first mating part, and the garbage box assembly is provided with a second mating part on the side facing the inner wall of the housing. The first mating part and the second mating part cooperate to enable the garbage box assembly to slide and connect to the housing along the first direction.

[0010] One of the first mating part and the second mating part is a sliding groove, and the other is a slider. The slider is disposed in the sliding groove so that the trash box assembly can slide relative to the housing.

[0011] The housing has a sensor on its side wall and the trash can assembly has a magnetic component. The sensor is used to detect the magnetic component and output the position signal of the trash can assembly.

[0012] The trash can assembly includes a trash can, a button structure, and an elastic element. The trash can is enclosed to form a receiving cavity for containing trash.

[0037] In related technologies, the trash can in the cleaning device is located inside the housing. To remove the trash can, the cover of the housing must be opened first, and then the trash can be taken out from inside the housing. The process of removing the trash can is rather cumbersome.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is an exploded structural diagram of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is an exploded structural diagram of a shell and trash box assembly provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0039] This application provides a cleaning device 100 to solve the technical problem that the process of removing the trash can 33 in the cleaning device 100 is relatively cumbersome in the related art.

[0040] The cleaning device 100 includes a housing 10, a cleaning component 20, and a waste container assembly 30. The housing 10 has an opening 11 at one end. The cleaning component 20 is disposed within the housing 10. The waste container assembly 30 is disposed on one side of the cleaning component 20 and covers the opening 11. The waste container 30 is slidably connected to the housing 10 along a first direction D1. The waste container assembly 30 slides relative to the housing 10 along the first direction D1 to be disposed within the opening 11, and slides relative to the housing 10 in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to move out of the opening 11. The first direction D1 is the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100.

[0041] It is understood that the cleaning device 100 in this application embodiment can be, but is not limited to, floor cleaning tools such as cleaning machines, sweeping robots, and floor scrubbers.

[0042] The cleaning device 100 of this embodiment includes a housing 10. It should be noted that the housing 10 is the basic structural component of the cleaning device 100. The housing 10 includes structural components such as an outer shell and a support, which are not limited in this application. The housing 10 is used to support other structures inside the cleaning device 100, and the housing 10 has a certain strength and rigidity, which can withstand external impacts, compressions and other forces, protecting the internal components of the cleaning device 100 from physical damage from the external environment. Furthermore, the housing 10 is used to enclose the cleaning components 20 and other parts inside the cleaning device 100, preventing the intrusion of external substances such as dust and water, avoiding damage or performance degradation of these parts due to external factors, and extending the service life and operational stability of the cleaning device 100.

[0043] The end of the housing 10 is provided with an opening 11, which is a channel for the cleaning device 100 to interact with the external environment. The size and shape of the opening 11 are related to the garbage box assembly 30 to ensure that the garbage box assembly 30 can smoothly enter and exit the opening 11.

[0044] The cleaning device 100 of this embodiment includes a cleaning component 20, which includes a cleaning roller 21 and a garbage shovel 22. The cleaning roller 21 is disposed inside the housing 10 and rotatably connected to the housing 10. The cleaning roller 21 contacts the surface to be cleaned (including but not limited to the ground) by rotating, and removes stains and dust from the surface through physical friction. It can also bring the garbage from the surface into the cleaning device 100 through physical friction and adhesion. The garbage shovel 22 is spaced apart from the cleaning roller 21 to form a garbage inlet channel. The garbage shovel 22 is used to contact the surface to be cleaned and shovel the garbage into the inlet channel. The inlet channel is used to guide the garbage into the interior of the cleaning device 100 and collect it through the garbage box assembly 30.

[0045] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly 20 also includes a brush roller 23, which is disposed inside the housing 10 and rotatably connected to the housing 10. The brush roller 23 is located on the side of the trash box assembly 30 away from the surface to be cleaned, and is used to sweep the trash on the cleaning roller 21 onto the trash box assembly 30.

[0046] Specifically, the brush roller 23 is positioned above the trash can 33. When rotating, the brush roller 23 abuts against the cleaning roller 21 and brushes away any debris adhering to the outer surface of the cleaning roller 21 into the trash can 33. Specifically, after the cleaning roller 21 has cleaned the surface to be cleaned, larger debris such as hair may remain on its surface. When the brush roller 23 rotates, it abuts against the cleaning roller 21 and brushes off the larger debris into the trash can 33, preventing further adhesion of debris to the cleaning roller 21 and improving the waste collection efficiency of the cleaning device 100.

[0047] The cleaning device 100 of this embodiment also includes a waste container assembly 30. The waste container assembly 30 serves as a temporary storage space for waste inside the cleaning device 100. During the cleaning process, it continuously receives the waste cleaned out by the cleaning component 20, enabling the cleaning device 100 to perform continuous cleaning without affecting the cleaning effect due to a lack of storage space for the waste. Furthermore, the waste container assembly 30 covers the opening 11 at the end of the housing 10, and the waste container assembly 30 and the housing 10 are slidably connected along the first direction D1. When the waste container assembly 30 slides along the first direction D1, it enters the opening 11 of the housing 10, where it collects the waste cleaned out by the cleaning component 20. When it is necessary to clean the waste inside the waste container assembly 30, it can slide in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to move out of the opening 11, making it convenient for the user to remove the waste container assembly 30 for operations such as emptying the waste and cleaning the waste container assembly 30.

[0048] The garbage bin assembly 30 and the housing 10 are slidably connected along the first direction D1, allowing the user to easily remove the garbage bin assembly 30 from the housing 10, facilitating garbage disposal and cleaning and maintenance of the garbage bin assembly 30, thus improving the ease of use of the cleaning device 100.

[0049] In the cleaning device 100 provided in this application, the end of the housing 10 is provided with an opening 11, the cleaning component 20 is disposed inside the housing 10, the trash box component 30 is disposed on one side of the cleaning component 20 and the trash box component 30 covers the opening 11, the trash box 33 is slidably connected to the housing 10 along the first direction D1, the trash box component 30 slides relative to the housing 10 along the first direction D1 to be disposed inside the opening 11, and the trash box component 30 slides relative to the housing 10 in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to move out of the opening 11, wherein the first direction D1 is the travel direction of the cleaning device 100. When the trash can assembly 30 slides along the first direction D1, it enters the opening 11 of the housing 10. At this time, the trash can assembly 30 is used to collect the trash cleaned by the cleaning assembly 20. When it is necessary to clean the trash can assembly 30, it can slide in the opposite direction of the first direction D1 to move out of the opening 11, making it convenient for the user to take out the trash can assembly 30 for operations such as dumping trash and cleaning the trash can assembly 30, thus improving the ease of use of the cleaning device 100.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of region A in the middle.

[0051] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a first mating part 12, and the garbage box assembly 30 is provided with a second mating part 31 on the side facing the inner wall of the housing 10. The first mating part 12 and the second mating part 31 cooperate to enable the garbage box assembly 30 to slide along the first direction D1 to connect with the housing 10.

[0052] One of the first mating part 12 and the second mating part 31 is a groove, and the other is a slider. The slider is disposed in the groove so that the trash can assembly 30 can slide relative to the housing 10. In this embodiment, the first mating part 12 is used as a slider and the second mating part 31 is used as a groove for illustration, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0053] The groove provides precise path guidance for the sliding of the slider, ensuring that the trash can assembly 30 can only move along the first direction D1 and its opposite direction, avoiding the trash can assembly 30 from deviating or shaking during the sliding process, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the trash can assembly 30 when entering and exiting the opening 11 of the housing 10.

[0054] Furthermore, when the slider slides within the groove, it effectively transfers the weight of the trash can assembly 30 to the housing 10, allowing the housing 10 to support the trash can assembly 30. Simultaneously, the slider also provides lateral support to the groove, preventing the trash can assembly 30 from tilting or falling off during sliding.

[0055] Furthermore, the slider is slightly smaller than the groove to ensure that it can slide freely within the groove. Additionally, the gap between the slider and the groove is small to prevent the trash can assembly 30 from wobbling during sliding, thus improving its stability.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the corresponding sensor portion in a cleaning device provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0057] In one embodiment, a sensor 13 is provided on the side wall of the housing 10, and a magnetic element 32 is provided on the trash can assembly 30. The sensor 13 is used to detect the magnetic element 32 and output the position signal of the trash can assembly 30.

[0058] A sensor 13 is mounted on the side wall of the housing 10, while a magnetic element 32 is provided on the trash can assembly 30. The sensor 13 is capable of detecting the presence of the magnetic element 32; when the trash can assembly 30 slides on the housing 10, the magnetic element 32 moves along with the trash can assembly 30. By detecting the magnetic element 32, the sensor 13 can obtain the position information of the trash can assembly 30 relative to the housing 10 in real time and convert it into a corresponding position signal for output.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sensor 13 typically employs a magnetic sensor, such as a Hall effect sensor. When the magnetic element 32 approaches the sensor 13, it causes a change in the magnetic field around the sensor 13, which the sensor 13 converts into an electrical signal. By processing and analyzing the electrical signal, the position of the trash can assembly 30 can be determined. For example, when the trash can assembly 30 is fully inserted into the housing 10 (completely within the opening 11), the distance between the magnetic element 32 and the sensor 13 is at a specific value, and the sensor 13 outputs a corresponding signal indicating that the trash can assembly 30 is in the "in place" state; when the trash can assembly 30 begins to be pulled out, the signal output by the sensor 13 changes accordingly with the change in distance, thereby allowing the determination of the extent to which the trash can assembly 30 has been pulled out.

[0060] It should be noted that by setting up sensor 13 and magnetic component 32, the position of trash can assembly 30 within housing 10 can be accurately determined, which is beneficial for improving the intelligent control of cleaning device 100. Furthermore, the controller of cleaning device 100 can make corresponding logical judgments and operational restrictions based on the position of trash can assembly 30. For example, when trash can assembly 30 is pulled out to a certain extent, the operation of cleaning component 20 can be automatically stopped to prevent trash leakage caused by cleaning operations performed when trash can assembly 30 is not properly installed; or, if trash can assembly 30 is not fully inserted, the cleaning device 100 can be prohibited from starting to prevent trash can assembly 30 from falling off during operation.

[0061] Furthermore, the position signal of the trash can assembly 30 can also be fed back to the user in some way, such as displaying the status of the trash can assembly 30 on the display screen of the cleaning device 100, so that the user can clearly understand the position of the trash can assembly 30, making it convenient for the user to operate and maintain, and improving the practicality and convenience of the cleaning device 100.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 7 This is an exploded structural diagram of a trash can assembly provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0063] In one embodiment, the trash can assembly 30 includes a trash can 33, a button structure 34, and an elastic member 35. The trash can 33 encloses a receiving cavity for containing trash. The button structure 34 is located on the side of the trash can 33 away from the receiving cavity and is slidably connected to the trash can 33 along a second direction D2. The elastic member 35 is located between the button structure 34 and the trash can 33, with one end of the elastic member 35 abutting against the button structure 34 and the other end abutting against the trash can 33. The button structure 34 slides in the opposite direction of the second direction D2 and can separate from the top wall 14 of the housing 10 corresponding to the trash can 33, and the elastic member 35 is in a compressed state. The compressed elastic member 35 allows the button structure 34 to slide along the second direction D2, so that the button structure 34 is engaged with the top wall 14 of the housing 10 corresponding to the trash can 33.

[0064] The garbage box 33 is enclosed to form a receiving cavity for containing garbage. In other words, the garbage box 33 is a container with an enclosed structure. The garbage box 33 is used to contain garbage collected during the cleaning process and forms a relatively closed receiving cavity to prevent garbage leakage.

[0065] An elastic element 35 is installed between the button structure 34 and the trash can 33, with one end abutting against the button structure 34 and the other end abutting against the trash can 33. When the button structure 34 is subjected to an external force and slides in the opposite direction of the second direction D2, the elastic element 35 is compressed, and the button structure 34 separates from the top wall 14 of the housing 10 corresponding to the trash can 33. When the external force disappears, the compressed elastic element 35 generates elastic force, pushing the button structure 34 to slide in the second direction D2, causing the button structure 34 to re-engage with the top wall 14 of the housing 10 corresponding to the trash can 33.

[0066] Through the sliding of the button structure 34 and the action of the elastic element 35, the user can easily remove the trash can 33 from the housing 10 for cleaning and other operations. When it is necessary to remove the trash can 33, press the button structure 34 to separate it from the top wall 14 of the housing 10, and then the trash can 33 can be slid out of the housing 10 in the opposite direction of the first direction D1; when it is necessary to install the trash can 33, slide the trash can 33 into the housing 10 in the first direction D1. When the trash can 33 is in place, the button structure 34 automatically engages with the top wall 14 of the housing 10 under the action of the elastic element 35, ensuring that the trash can 33 is installed securely.

[0067] Furthermore, through the sliding of the button structure 34 and the action of the elastic element 35, users can easily disassemble and install the trash can 33 using simple button operations, without the need for additional tools or complex procedures, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of using the cleaning device 100. Simultaneously, the design of the elastic element 35 also provides users with operational feedback; for example, when pressing and releasing the button structure 34, users can feel the operational status through the change in the elastic force of the elastic element 35.

[0068] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​between the button structure 34 and the top wall 14 of the housing 10, as well as the elastic force of the elastic element 35, ensures that the trash box 33 can maintain a stable installation state during the operation of the cleaning device 100. It will not fall off accidentally due to the vibration, movement or other external forces of the cleaning device 100, thus ensuring the normal operation of the cleaning device 100 and preventing the trash box 33 from shaking or opening during operation, which could lead to trash leakage.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a button structure provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0070] In one embodiment, the button structure 34 is provided with a third mating part 341 on the side facing the top wall 14, and the top wall 14 is provided with a fourth mating part 15. The third mating part 341 and the fourth mating part 15 cooperate to make the button structure 34 snap into the top wall 14.

[0071] When one of the third mating part 341 and the fourth mating part 15 is a protrusion, the other is a groove, with the protrusion located within the groove, so that the button structure 34 engages with the top wall 14. In this embodiment, the third mating part 341 is a protrusion and the fourth mating part 15 is a groove for illustrative purposes only, and this should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application.

[0072] When the trash can assembly 30 is installed inside the housing 10, the button structure 34 moves towards the top wall 14 under the action of the elastic member 35, causing the third mating part 341 and the fourth mating part 15 to engage with each other. Because the protrusion and the groove are shaped to match, the protrusion can accurately embed into the groove, forming a snap-fit ​​effect. When it is necessary to disassemble the trash can assembly 30, external force causes the button structure 34 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 35 and slide in the opposite direction of the second direction D2, causing the protrusion to separate from the groove, thereby allowing the trash can assembly 30 to be removed from the housing 10.

[0073] The snap-fit ​​structure formed by the third mating part 341 and the fourth mating part 15 provides a reliable way to fix the garbage box assembly 30. During the operation of the cleaning device 100, it can effectively prevent the garbage box assembly 30 from accidentally detaching from the housing 10 due to external forces such as vibration and shaking, ensuring the normal operation of the cleaning device 100 and the effective collection of garbage. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​structure also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the garbage box assembly 30 by the user, improving the ease of use of the cleaning device 100.

[0074] Furthermore, when the third mating part 341 is a protrusion, the third mating part 341 has an inclined surface facing the top wall 14. The inclined surface facilitates the third mating part 341 to abut against the top wall 14. When the trash box assembly 30 enters the housing 10, the top wall 14 applies a force to the inclined surface in the opposite direction of the second direction D2, so that the button structure 34 can slide in the opposite direction of the second direction D2, making it easier for the third mating part 341 to enter the fourth mating part 15.

[0075] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment, the trash box 33 is provided with a limiting groove 331 on the side away from the receiving cavity, and the button structure 34 is provided in the limiting groove 331 and can slide relative to the limiting groove 331 along the second direction D2 and its opposite direction.

[0076] The limiting groove 331 provides a guide for the sliding of the button structure 34, making the sliding of the button structure 34 more stable and precise. When connecting and separating the trash can assembly 30 from the housing 10, the button structure 34 can slide smoothly along the direction of the limiting groove 331, avoiding jamming or displacement, thus improving the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0077] Furthermore, confining the button structure 34 within the limiting groove 331 prevents damage from external impacts or interference. During the use of the cleaning device 100, the limiting groove 331 protects the button structure 34, reducing friction and collisions with other components and extending its service life.

[0078] Furthermore, the limiting groove 331 also serves to position the button structure 34. When the trash can assembly 30 is installed on the housing 10, the position of the button structure 34 within the limiting groove 331 ensures accurate engagement between the button structure 34 and the fourth mating part 15 on the housing 10, achieving a secure connection between the trash can assembly 30 and the housing 10. Simultaneously, when disassembling the trash can assembly 30, the limiting groove 331 also ensures that the button structure 34 slides in the correct position, facilitating user operation.

[0079] Furthermore, the cooperation between the limiting groove 331 and the button structure 34 enhances the structural stability of the trash can assembly 30. During the operation of the cleaning device 100, the limiting groove 331 can prevent the button structure 34 from moving arbitrarily, thereby ensuring that the trash can assembly 30 is fixed in position within the housing 10 and preventing the normal operation of the cleaning device 100 from being affected by the loosening of the button structure 34.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 Furthermore, in one embodiment, the button structure 34 includes a button body 342, a first fastening part 343, and a second fastening part 344. The first fastening part 343 and the second fastening part 344 are disposed on both sides of the button body 342. The groove wall of the limiting groove 331 is provided with a first limiting part and a second limiting part that are arranged at a distance from each other. The first limiting part is used to abut against and limit the first fastening part 343, and the second limiting part is used to abut against and limit the second fastening part 344, so as to restrict the button structure 34 from sliding along the second direction D2 and disengaging from the limiting groove 331.

[0081] The mutual contact between the first limiting part and the first engaging part 343, and between the second limiting part and the second engaging part 344, effectively prevents the button structure 34 from sliding along the second direction D2 and disengaging from the limiting groove 331. In other words, the limiting effect of the first and second limiting parts on the button structure 34 ensures that the button structure 34 can only slide within a certain range along the second direction D2, achieving precise control over the movement of the button structure 34. When the user needs to disassemble or install the trash can assembly 30, there will be no excessive sliding or uneven sliding, improving the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0082] Furthermore, the mutual abutment between the first limiting part and the first fastening part 343, and between the second limiting part and the second fastening part 344, enhances the structural stability of the entire trash can assembly 30. The stable installation of the button structure 34 within the limiting groove 331 makes the trash can assembly 30 more securely connected to the housing 10, reducing the risk of the trash can assembly 30 shaking or falling off due to loosening of the button structure 34, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning device 100 during operation.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom structure of a cleaning device after the trash box assembly is pulled out, according to an embodiment of this application.

[0084] In one embodiment, the top wall 14 of the housing 10 is provided with a disinfection element 40, and the disinfection element 40 is provided in accordance with the receiving cavity of the garbage box 33. In other words, the area where the disinfection element 40 acts can directly cover the receiving cavity inside the garbage box 33 used to store garbage.

[0085] During the use of the cleaning device 100, the garbage is collected into the receiving cavity of the garbage box 33. The disinfection component 40 can sterilize and disinfect the garbage in the receiving cavity by releasing disinfectant, ultraviolet irradiation or other disinfection methods, reducing the growth and spread of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, maintaining the hygienic environment inside the cleaning device 100, and preventing odor and bacterial contamination caused by garbage storage.

[0086] Optionally, in this embodiment, the disinfection element 40 is an ultraviolet light-emitting element. In other embodiments, the disinfection element 40 may also be other disinfection structures such as a disinfectant spray device. This application does not limit this.

[0087] In one embodiment, the trash box 33 is made of a transparent material.

[0088] Users can visually monitor the accumulation of trash in the trash can 33, promptly identifying when it is full and emptying it as needed. This helps prevent malfunctions of the cleaning device 100 or the emission of odors due to overfilling.

[0089] Furthermore, the transparent trash can 33 allows users to check for any residual trash or stains inside without opening it, making it easier to identify cleaning dead spots and thus clean the trash can 33 more thoroughly, keeping the cleaning device 100 hygienic.

[0090] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the bottom structure of a trash can assembly provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0091] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the trash can 33 is provided with a first pulley 36 and a second pulley 37, with the first pulley 36 and the second pulley 37 spaced apart at both ends of the trash can 33.

[0092] The arrangement of the first pulley 36 and the second pulley 37 reduces the friction between the trash can 33 and the surface to be cleaned. When it is necessary to remove the trash can 33 from the cleaning device 100 for cleaning or other operations, the user only needs to apply a small force, and the first pulley 36 and the second pulley 37 will allow the trash can 33 to slide smoothly out in the opposite direction of the first direction D1. Similarly, pushing the trash can 33 back to its original position can also be done easily, improving the convenience of the user operating the cleaning device 100.

[0093] Furthermore, the first pulley 36 and the second pulley 37 are spaced apart at both ends of the trash can 33, providing relatively balanced support for the trash can 33. This two-end support method helps maintain the trash can 33's stable posture during extraction or insertion, and when placed inside the cleaning device 100, preventing it from tilting or shaking. This avoids spillage of trash from the trash can 33 and also helps protect other components inside the cleaning device 100 from impacts or shaking caused by the trash can 33.

[0094] Furthermore, by using the first pulley 36 and the second pulley 37 to support the weight of the trash can 33 and enable its sliding, compared to directly allowing the bottom surface of the trash can 33 to rub against the surface to be cleaned, the wear and tear on the trash can 33 and related components of the cleaning device 100 can be greatly reduced. This helps to extend the service life of the trash can 33 and the entire cleaning device 100, reduce the probability of component damage due to frequent use, and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.
