Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, specifically to a mop mechanism, a mop control system, and a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cleaning equipment (such as sweepers, mops, and scrubbers) has become an important tool for modern home cleaning. Cleaning equipment has advantages such as being environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and highly efficient, which can significantly improve cleaning efficiency, reduce labor costs and time, and is especially suitable for large-area cleaning needs.

[0003] To achieve edge cleaning and obstacle avoidance, the mop assembly in existing cleaning equipment can extend and retract relative to the base. However, the drive mechanism that drives the mop assembly to extend and retract and retract is complex and unreliable, which affects the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment and results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a mop mechanism, a mop control system and a cleaning device to solve the problems of complex structure, poor reliability and impact on cleaning effect and user experience of existing cleaning devices.

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a mop mechanism applied to a cleaning device, the cleaning device including a base, and the mop mechanism including:

[0006] A mop assembly is disposed on the base, and the mop assembly is retractable and liftable relative to the base.

[0007] A telescopic assembly is disposed between the base and the mop assembly, the telescopic assembly driving the mop assembly to telescopically move between a first position and a second position; the telescopic assembly includes a telescopic drive member, the telescopic drive member being used to apply an extension force or a retraction force to the mop assembly.

[0008] A lifting assembly is disposed between the base and the mop assembly, and the lifting assembly drives the mop assembly to move up and down between the second position and the third position;

[0009] When the mop assembly is in the second position, the lifting assembly converts the retraction force into an upward force, causing the mop assembly to rise; when the mop assembly is in the third position, the lifting assembly converts the extension force into a downward force, causing the mop assembly to fall.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model includes a mop assembly, a telescopic assembly, and a lifting assembly. The telescopic drive is used to apply an extension force or a retraction force to the mop assembly. When the mop assembly is in the second position, the lifting assembly can convert the extension force provided by the telescopic drive into an upward force, driving the mop assembly to rise. When the mop assembly is in the third position, the lifting assembly can convert the extension force provided by the telescopic drive into a downward force, driving the mop assembly to fall. This achieves four movement modes of the mop assembly—extension, retraction, rising, and falling—by setting only one drive (i.e., the telescopic drive), greatly simplifying the drive structure of the mop mechanism. This not only makes the mop mechanism easier to install and set up, but also significantly improves the reliability of the drive structure of the mop assembly, ensuring better cleaning effect of cleaning equipment using this mop mechanism and significantly improving the user experience.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a conversion member, one end of which is hinged to the telescopic assembly and the other end of which is hinged to the mop assembly. The conversion member can convert the retraction force into the lifting force or the extension force into the lowering force by rotation.

[0012] Beneficial Effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model includes a lifting component comprising a conversion element. One end of the conversion element is hinged to a telescopic component, and the other end is hinged to the mop assembly. When the mop assembly is in the second position, driven by the telescopic component, the conversion element rotates to convert the retraction force into an upward force. When the mop assembly is in the third position, driven by the telescopic component, the conversion element rotates to convert the extension force into a downward force. This lifting component has a clever and reasonable structural design, enabling the mop assembly to perform four movement modes—extension, retraction, upward, and downward—by setting a single driving component (i.e., a telescopic driving component). This simplifies the driving structure of the mop assembly and improves the reliability of the mop mechanism.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the lifting assembly further includes an abutment member connected to the base, and the conversion member rotates by abutting against the abutment member, converting the retraction force into the lifting force, or the extension force into the lowering force.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model includes a lifting component and a contact member. The conversion member rotates by contacting the contact member. This structure that makes the conversion member rotate is simple, easy to set up, and highly reliable. It helps to simplify the mop mechanism and ensures the normal operation of the mop mechanism, thus ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the conversion member has a first contact portion and a second contact portion. When the mop assembly is in the second position, the first contact portion abuts against the abutting member, and the conversion member rotates in a first direction, converting the retraction force into the upward force and driving the mop assembly to rise. When the mop assembly is in the third position, the second contact portion abuts against the abutting member, and the conversion member rotates in a second direction, converting the extension force into the downward force and driving the mop assembly to fall. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has a conversion component with two contact positions, namely a first contact portion and a second contact portion. The first contact portion abuts against the abutting component, and the conversion component rotates in the first direction, converting the retracting force into an upward force, driving the mop assembly upward. The second contact portion abuts against the abutting component, and the conversion component rotates in the second direction, converting the extending force into a downward force, driving the mop assembly downward. Furthermore, the first and second directions are opposite. This cooperative structure between the conversion component and the abutting component is relatively simple, easy to set up, and highly reliable. It simplifies the mop mechanism, ensures its normal operation, and guarantees cleaning effectiveness.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, the telescopic assembly further includes a first transmission member and a second transmission member that cooperate with each other. The first transmission member is connected to the output end of the telescopic drive member and rotates with the output end. The second transmission member is connected to the mop assembly. The telescopic drive member drives the mop assembly to move through the first transmission member and the second transmission member.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model includes a telescopic assembly that further comprises a first transmission component and a second transmission component that cooperate with each other. The telescopic drive component drives the mop assembly to move through the first and second transmission components. This telescopic assembly has a relatively simple structure, is easy to set up, and has high reliability. It helps to simplify the mop mechanism, ensures the normal operation of the mop mechanism, and ensures the cleaning effect.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, one end of the conversion member is hinged to the second transmission member, and the other end is hinged to the mop assembly.

[0020] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the mop mechanism has one end of the conversion component hinged to the second transmission component and the other end hinged to the mop assembly. This allows the conversion component to convert the retracting force into an upward force, driving the mop assembly upward, and to convert the extending force into a downward force, driving the mop assembly downward. This combination of telescopic and lifting components has a simple structure, is easy to set up, and has high reliability. It simplifies the mop mechanism, ensures its normal operation, and guarantees effective cleaning.

[0021] In one alternative embodiment, the system further includes a cover disposed on the base, and the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly are disposed between the cover and the base.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model also includes a cover, and a space is formed between the cover and the base. The telescopic component and the lifting component are set in the space between the cover and the base, thereby protecting the telescopic component and the lifting component, avoiding accidental contact or interference with the operation of the telescopic component and the lifting component, and further improving the reliability of the mop mechanism.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the abutment is protrudingly disposed on the side of the cover facing the mop assembly, the abutment having a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion, the first abutment portion being adapted to abut against the first contact portion, and the second abutment portion being adapted to abut against the second contact portion.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has an abutment member located on the side of the cover facing the mop assembly, which makes full use of the space on the cover and rationally arranges the mop mechanism. The abutment member has two abutment positions, namely the first abutment part and the second abutment part, which respectively cooperate with the first contact part and the second contact part of the conversion part. This lifting assembly has a relatively simple structure and high reliability, which helps to simplify the mop mechanism and ensure the normal operation of the mop mechanism, thus ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the first transmission component is a gear, the second transmission component is a rack, the length direction of the rack is arranged along the extension and retraction direction of the mop assembly, and the gear meshes with the rack.

[0026] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of this utility model, the first transmission component is a gear and the second transmission component is a rack. The two mesh with each other, and the length direction of the rack is set along the extension and retraction direction of the mop assembly. The structure of this extension and retraction assembly is relatively simple, and the cooperation between the gear and the rack can improve the transmission efficiency. While compacting the mop mechanism, it ensures the movement control effect of the mop assembly.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, a clamping member is further included, disposed on the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly, the clamping member being used to apply downward pressure to the mop assembly.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model applies downward pressure to the mop assembly by setting a clamping component, so that the downward pressure of the mop assembly on the surface to be cleaned (such as the ground) is more even, the mop assembly can fit the surface to be cleaned more closely, improve the cleaning performance of the mop assembly, make the cleaning effect of the mop assembly more uniform, and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0029] In one alternative embodiment, the clamping member is an elastic clamping member, with one end abutting against the telescopic component and the other end abutting against the lifting component.

[0030] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has an elastic clamping component, which can reliably apply downward pressure to the mop assembly. It also has a simple structure, is easy to obtain, and has low operating costs.

[0031] In one alternative embodiment, the clamping member is disposed on the conversion member, with one end of the clamping member abutting against the conversion member and the other end abutting against the second transmission member.

[0032] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the clamping component is located on the conversion component, which makes full use of the structural space of the lifting assembly, improves space utilization, and makes the structure of the mop mechanism more compact and reasonable. One end of the clamping component abuts against the conversion component, and the other end abuts against the second transmission component. This connection relationship of the clamping component is simple and convenient for structural design.

[0033] In one alternative embodiment, the clamping member includes a fixed portion and a movable portion connected to each other, the fixed portion abutting against the conversion member, and the movable portion abutting against the second transmission member.

[0034] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model includes a clamping part consisting of a fixed part and a movable part connected together. The structure of this clamping part is relatively simple and easy to manufacture, which helps to reduce product costs. Moreover, the fixed part abuts against the conversion part and the movable part abuts against the second transmission part. The connection relationship of this clamping part is simple, which is conducive to the rapid installation of the clamping part and improves assembly efficiency.

[0035] In one optional embodiment, the conversion member has a notch structure on the side facing away from the second transmission member, and the fixing part abuts against the bottom of the notch structure.

[0036] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of this utility model, the conversion component has a notch structure on the side facing away from the second transmission component. The bottom of the notch structure is relatively recessed, and the fixing part abuts against the bottom of the notch structure, which can make the setting position of the fixing part more stable, and the fixing part and the conversion component can be firmly abutted, thereby improving the structural reliability.

[0037] In one alternative embodiment, both ends of the fixed part are connected to the movable part via elastic parts.

[0038] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of this utility model, both ends of the fixed part are connected to the movable part through the elastic part, so that the clamping part has sufficient elasticity to apply downward pressure to the mop assembly, thereby further improving the reliability of the structure.

[0039] In one alternative embodiment, the mop assembly is provided with a mop drive assembly, and the clamping member applies force to the mop assembly from a position away from the mop drive assembly.

[0040] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of this utility model, the position on the mop assembly where the mop drive component is set is relatively heavy, while the position where the mop drive component is not set is relatively light. The force applied by the clamping member to the mop assembly is far away from the mop drive component, which makes the overall weight of the mop assembly more uniform. This is conducive to the mop assembly applying more balanced downward pressure to the surface to be cleaned, improving the cleaning effect and increasing cleaning efficiency.

[0041] In one alternative embodiment, the system further includes a conduit comprising an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and outlet being axially parallel and having their openings facing the same direction, one of the inlet and outlet being connected to the base, and the other being connected to the mop assembly.

[0042] Beneficial Effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model features a U-shaped pipeline with its inlet and outlet axially parallel and facing the same direction. This design makes the pipeline more compact, easier to install, and significantly saves installation space, improving the space utilization of the mop mechanism. Furthermore, this pipeline is less prone to friction and collision with other structures as it moves with the mop assembly, reducing movement resistance and energy consumption, lowering noise, improving equipment operating efficiency, and reducing the risk of pipeline rupture and leakage, thus enhancing structural reliability. In addition, the shorter travel distance and smaller deformation during the movement of the mop assembly reduce pipeline fatigue, extending its service life, improving the overall performance of the mop mechanism, and enhancing the user experience.

[0043] In one alternative embodiment, the mop assembly is telescopically movable relative to the base in a first plane, the axial directions of the water inlet and the water outlet are coplanar in a second plane, and the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane.

[0044] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of this utility model, the mop assembly can telescopically move relative to the base within a first plane, while the axial directions of the water inlet and outlet are coplanar on a second plane, and the first and second planes are perpendicular. This pipeline layout makes full use of the internal structural space of the mop mechanism, reduces the space occupied, and significantly improves space utilization. At the same time, this pipeline layout helps to reduce the impact of the telescopic movement of the mop assembly on pipeline deformation, minimizing pipeline deformation and ensuring pipeline lifespan.

[0045] In one alternative implementation, the second plane is a vertical plane, with one of the inlet and the outlet located above the other.

[0046] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has the inlet and outlet axes in the same vertical plane, which makes full use of the vertical setting space in the mop mechanism, making the structural layout more reasonable and further improving the utilization rate of the setting space.

[0047] In one alternative implementation, the openings of the inlet and the outlet are oriented toward the retracting movement direction of the mop assembly.

[0048] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of this utility model, the openings of the water inlet and outlet face the direction of the retraction movement of the mop assembly, that is, the opening of the U-shaped pipe structure faces away from the direction of the extension movement of the mop assembly. This pipe layout can avoid other structures in the mop mechanism, avoid structural interference, and facilitate the installation of pipes.

[0049] In one optional embodiment, the pipeline includes a first pipeline and a second pipeline, the water inlet includes a first pipeline inlet and a second pipeline inlet, and the water outlet includes a first pipeline outlet and a second pipeline outlet.

[0051] In one alternative implementation, the first pipeline and the second pipeline are arranged in parallel.

[0052] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has the first and second pipes arranged in parallel, which makes the pipe structure of the mop mechanism more compact, reduces the space occupied, and further improves the utilization rate of the installation space.

[0053] In one alternative implementation, one of the inlet and the outlet is connected to the base via an adapter.

[0054] Beneficial effects: In the mop mechanism of this utility model, one of the water inlet and outlet of the pipeline is connected to the base through an adapter, which facilitates the installation and connection of the pipeline and the base, improves assembly efficiency, and ensures the sealing of the interface position, thereby improving the reliability of the pipeline structure.

[0055] In one optional embodiment, the adapter includes a first adapter portion and a second adapter portion that are interconnected, the first adapter portion and the second adapter portion being arranged at an angle, the first adapter portion being disposed on the base, and the second adapter portion being connected to one of the water inlet and the water outlet.

[0056] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has an adapter that includes a first adapter part and a second adapter part that are interconnected and are set at an angle to each other. This adapter can adjust the setting position and orientation of the water inlet or outlet of the pipeline according to the setting space, which facilitates the installation of the pipeline and improves the flexibility and convenience of the pipeline setting.

[0057] In one alternative embodiment, one of the inlet and the outlet is connected to the base via an adapter, the adapter being disposed on the cover.

[0058] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has an adapter set on the cover, so that the water inlet or outlet of the pipeline is connected to the cover, which facilitates pipeline installation, improves assembly efficiency, and makes full use of structural space, thereby improving the utilization rate of the installation space.

[0059] In one alternative embodiment, the second transmission member has a clearance space through which the conduit is disposed.

[0060] Beneficial effects: The mop mechanism of this utility model has a clearance space on the second transmission component, through which the pipeline passes to facilitate the installation of the pipeline inlet and outlet. This makes reasonable use of the structural space, making the pipeline structure compact and reducing the space occupied.

[0061] Secondly, this utility model also provides a mop control system for controlling the mop mechanism as described above. The mop control system includes a control unit, which is electrically connected to a telescopic drive component.

[0062] Since the mop control system of this utility model includes the mop mechanism of this utility model and has the same beneficial effects as the mop mechanism, it will not be described in detail here.

[0063] In one optional embodiment, a position detection component is further included, which is electrically connected to the control unit and is used to detect the position of the mop assembly. The position detection component is disposed between the base and the mop assembly.

[0064] Beneficial effects: The mop control system of this utility model can accurately detect the real-time position of the mop assembly by setting a position detection component, thereby achieving precise and efficient control of the mop assembly.

[0065] In one optional embodiment, the position detection component includes a position detection element and a position trigger element. The position detection element is connected to the base, and the position trigger element is connected to a second transmission element and moves with the second transmission element. The position detection element and the position trigger element cooperate to detect the position of the mop assembly.

[0066] Beneficial effects: The mop control system of this utility model includes a position detection component and a position trigger component. The position detection component and the position trigger component work together to detect the position of the mop component.

[0127] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0128] Currently, the mop assembly of cleaning equipment needs to extend and retract and lift depending on the working scenario. The drive structures that drive the mop assembly to extend and retract and lift are independent of each other. For example, a dual-motor drive structure is usually used, which makes the overall drive structure of the mop assembly too complex and lacks precise drive control. This greatly reduces the reliability of the mop mechanism, resulting in large positional deviations of the mop assembly in different movement modes. This fails to meet the cleaning needs of different scenarios, affects the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment, and leads to a poor user experience.

[0129] Based on this, the present invention provides a mop mechanism, a mop control system, and a cleaning device that are simple in structure, reliable, and have good cleaning effect.

[0130] The following is combined with Figures 1-30 This document describes embodiments of the mop mechanism, mop control system, and cleaning equipment of this utility model.

[0131] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a first aspect, a mop mechanism is provided, applied to a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a base 1, and the mop mechanism includes a mop assembly 2, a telescopic assembly, and a lifting assembly. The mop assembly 2 is disposed on the base 1 and is telescopically and vertically movable relative to the base 1. The telescopic assembly is disposed between the base 1 and the mop assembly 2, and drives the mop assembly 2 to telescopically move between a first position and a second position. The telescopic assembly includes a telescopic drive 3, which applies an extension force or a retraction force to the mop assembly 2. The lifting assembly is disposed between the base 1 and the mop assembly 2, and drives the mop assembly 2 to move vertically between a second position and a third position. When the mop assembly 2 is in the second position, the lifting assembly converts the retraction force into an upward force, driving the mop assembly 2 to rise. When the mop assembly 2 is in the third position, the lifting assembly converts the extension force into a downward force, driving the mop assembly 2 to fall.

[0132] This mop mechanism, by setting a driving component, namely the telescopic driving component 3, can drive the mop assembly 2 to perform four movement modes: extension, retraction, rising, and falling. This greatly simplifies the driving structure of the mop mechanism, making it easier to install and set up. In addition, the reliability of the driving structure of the mop assembly 2 is significantly improved, ensuring that the cleaning equipment using this mop mechanism has a better cleaning effect and significantly improves the user experience.

[0133] This mop mechanism can be applied to cleaning equipment such as sweepers, mops, scrubbers or cleaning robots. The cleaning equipment has a base 1, and the mop assembly 2 is set on the base 1. Specifically, the mop assembly 2 is set at the bottom of the base 1.

[0134] The base 1 of the cleaning device has a certain structural strength to support and house the mop assembly 2, telescopic assembly, and lifting assembly. Typically, the base 1 is made of waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength materials to ensure the overall service life of the mop mechanism. The base 1 has a generally elongated, strip-like structure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Taking a specific perspective, the bottom of base 1 faces the surface to be cleaned. Depending on the application scenario of different cleaning equipment, the surface to be cleaned can be the ground, a wall, etc. In this embodiment, the ground is taken as the surface to be cleaned.

[0135] To facilitate cleaning of corners and edges, the mop assembly 2 can extend and retract relative to the base 1 under the control of the telescopic component. When cleaning corners and edges, the mop assembly 2 extends relative to the base 1, bringing it close to the corner area for "edge cleaning," effectively cleaning these areas, significantly reducing blind spots, and greatly improving cleaning results. When corner cleaning is no longer needed or after "edge cleaning" is complete, the mop assembly 2 retracts relative to the base 1, returning to its original position, allowing for continued cleaning of the surface to be cleaned.

[0136] To achieve obstacle avoidance, the mop assembly 2 can move up and down relative to the base 1 under the control of the lifting assembly. When the cleaning equipment needs to return to the base station for cleaning or when the mop assembly 2 needs to avoid certain objects (such as carpets), the mop assembly 2 rises relative to the base 1 to avoid secondary contamination of the cleaned floor or to prevent the mop assembly 2 from contaminating carpets or other objects, making the cleaning process more intelligent. After the cleaning equipment returns to the base station or has passed certain objects, the mop assembly 2 descends relative to the base 1, and the mop assembly 2 can be used for cleaning or to continue cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

[0137] A telescopic assembly is positioned between the base 1 and the mop assembly 2 to facilitate structural arrangement, allowing the telescopic assembly to drive the mop assembly 2 to extend and retract. Specifically, the telescopic assembly drives the mop assembly 2 to extend and retract between a first position and a second position. The direction of extension movement of the mop assembly 2 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown by the middle arrow a, the retraction direction of the mop assembly 2 is as follows: Figure 4 As indicated by the middle arrow b.

[0138] In this embodiment, the first position refers to the maximum extension position of the mop assembly 2 relative to the base 1, that is, the fully extended position, at which point the mop assembly 2 can no longer extend relative to the base 1. The second position refers to the maximum retraction position of the mop assembly 2 relative to the base 1, that is, the fully retracted position, at which point the mop assembly 2 can no longer retract relative to the base 1.

[0139] In this embodiment, the telescopic component includes a telescopic drive 3, which applies an extension force or a retraction force to the mop assembly 2, thereby providing power for the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2. Specifically, the telescopic drive 3 is a motor, and the extension force or retraction force is applied to the mop assembly 2 by rotating the motor forward or backward.

[0140] In other embodiments, the telescopic drive 3 may also be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0141] The lifting assembly is positioned between the base 1 and the mop assembly 2 to facilitate structural arrangement, enabling the lifting assembly to move the mop assembly 2 up and down. Specifically, the lifting assembly moves the mop assembly 2 up and down between the second position and the third position.

[0142] In this embodiment, the third position refers to the maximum position where the mop assembly 2 rises relative to the base 1, i.e., the position where it has reached its maximum height. At this point, the mop assembly 2 can no longer rise relative to the base 1. It should be noted that the second position is also the position where the mop assembly 2 has descended to its maximum height.

[0143] In this embodiment, the power for the lifting assembly to move the mop assembly 2 up and down comes from the telescopic assembly. Specifically, the power for the lifting assembly to move the mop assembly 2 up and down comes from the telescopic drive 3 of the telescopic assembly. That is, the telescopic drive 3 also provides power to the lifting assembly. When the mop assembly 2 is in the second position, the lifting assembly converts the retracting force applied by the telescopic drive 3 into an upward force to move the mop assembly 2 up. When the mop assembly 2 is in the third position, the lifting assembly converts the extending force applied by the telescopic drive 3 into a downward force to move the mop assembly 2 down.

[0144] By combining the telescopic and lifting components, a single drive unit, namely the telescopic drive unit 3, can drive the mop assembly 2 to extend, retract, rise, and fall in four modes. This greatly simplifies the drive structure of the mop mechanism, significantly improves the reliability of the drive structure of the mop assembly 2, ensures the cleaning effect of cleaning equipment using this mop mechanism, and significantly improves the user experience.

[0145] Furthermore, the mop mechanism also includes a cover 8, which is disposed on the base 1, and a telescopic component and a lifting component are disposed between the cover 8 and the base 1.

[0146] like Figure 2 As shown, the cover 8 is located on the upper part of the base 1 and is connected to the upper surface of the base 1, forming an installation space between the cover 8 and the base 1. The telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly are installed within this installation space. The cover 8 protects the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly, preventing other external structural components from interfering with or affecting their operation, further improving the reliability of the mop mechanism and ensuring its service life. Furthermore, the cover 8 facilitates the installation and setup of the telescopic assembly, the lifting assembly, and other related structures, simplifying the structural layout.

[0147] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly also includes a first transmission member 6 and a second transmission member 7 that cooperate with each other. The first transmission member 6 is connected to the output end of the telescopic drive member 3 and rotates with the output end. The second transmission member 7 is connected to the mop assembly 2. The telescopic drive member 3 drives the mop assembly 2 to move through the first transmission member 6 and the second transmission member 7.

[0148] like Figure 7 As shown, the telescopic assembly also includes a first transmission member 6 and a second transmission member 7. The first transmission member 6 and the second transmission member 7 cooperate with each other to transmit the extension force and retraction force of the telescopic drive member 3 to the mop assembly 2. In this embodiment, the first transmission member 6 is connected to the output end of the telescopic drive member 3 and rotates with the output end, while the second transmission member 7 is connected to the mop assembly 2. The telescopic drive member 3 drives the mop assembly 2 to move through the first transmission member 6 and the second transmission member 7.

[0149] Specifically, the first transmission component 6 is a gear, and the second transmission component 7 is a rack. The length direction of the rack is set along the extension and retraction direction of the mop assembly 2, and the gear meshes with the rack. The gear shaft of the first transmission component 6 is connected to the output end of the extension and retraction drive component 3, so that the first transmission component 6 can rotate together with the output end of the extension and retraction drive component 3. The first transmission component 6 meshes with the second transmission component 7, and the length of the second transmission component 7 is related to the extension and retraction distance of the mop assembly 2 (i.e., the distance between the first position and the second position). The overall structure of this extension and retraction component is relatively simple, and the cooperation between the gear and the rack can improve the transmission efficiency. While maintaining a compact mop mechanism structure, it ensures the movement control effect of the mop assembly 2 and guarantees the reliability of the movement control of the mop assembly 2.

[0150] When the first transmission member 6 rotates with the output end of the telescopic drive member 3, the first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move along the length direction (i.e., the telescopic direction). Since the second transmission member 7 is connected to the mop assembly 2, it drives the mop assembly 2 to move along the telescopic direction, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0151] Optionally, a guide rail structure is provided between the base 1 and the second transmission member 7 to limit the movement direction of the second transmission member 7, thereby limiting the telescopic movement direction of the mop assembly 2 and further improving the reliability of the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0152] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the guide rail structure includes a slide rail 101. The extension direction of the slide rail 101 is consistent with the telescopic movement direction of the mop assembly 2. The slide rail 101 is disposed on one of the base 1 and the second transmission member 7. Correspondingly, the other of the base 1 and the second transmission member 7 is provided with a sliding groove 701. In this embodiment, the slide rail 101 is disposed on the side of the base 1 facing the second transmission member 7, and the slide rail 101 protrudes upward from the base 1. The sliding groove 701 is disposed on the side of the second transmission member 7 facing the base 1. The slide rail 101 is adapted to be embedded in the sliding groove 701. The sliding groove 701 cooperates with the slide rail 101, so that the second transmission member 7 moves along the extension direction (i.e., the telescopic movement direction) of the slide rail 101.

[0153] In other embodiments, the slide rail 101 may also be provided on the side of the second transmission member 7 facing the base 1, while the sliding groove 701 may be provided on the side of the base 1 facing the second transmission member 7, as long as the slide rail 101 and the sliding groove 701 can cooperate.

[0154] As the second transmission component 7 and the mop assembly 2 extend and retract, relative friction occurs between the slide rail 101 and the sliding groove 701. To reduce wear between components, a friction plate 12 is provided between the second transmission component 7 and the base 1. The shape of the friction plate 12 is adapted to the shape of the slide rail 101 and the sliding groove 701, and the friction plate 12 is fixed to one of the slide rail 101 and the sliding groove 701. In this embodiment, fixing the friction plate 12 to the sliding groove 701 enhances the structural strength of the second transmission component 7, while reducing friction between the slide rail 101 and the sliding groove 701, reducing wear, and increasing service life.

[0155] Optionally, a groove 102 is provided on the side of the slide rail 101 facing the sliding groove 701, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the groove 102 is recessed in a direction away from the sliding groove 701. At this time, only the two side edges of the groove 102 are in contact with the sliding groove 701, thereby reducing the contact area between the slide 101 and the sliding groove 701, and further reducing the friction between the slide 101 and the sliding groove 701, thus further improving the service life and reliability of the parts.

[0156] In this embodiment, the two sides of the groove 102 are arc-shaped, so that the contact between the slide 101 and the sliding groove 701 is a surface-to-line contact, so as to minimize the contact area between the slide 101 and the sliding groove 701 and reduce the friction between the slide 101 and the sliding groove 701.

[0157] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a conversion element 4, one end of which is hinged to the telescopic assembly and the other end of which is hinged to the mop assembly 2. The conversion element 4 can convert the retraction force into an upward force or the extension force into a downward force by rotating.

[0158] like Figures 10-14 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a conversion element 4 (or crank), which has two connecting ends, one of which is hinged to the telescopic assembly and the other end is hinged to the mop assembly 2. Specifically, one end of the conversion element 4 is hinged to the telescopic assembly via a first hinge shaft 1301, and the other end is hinged to the mop assembly 2 via a second hinge shaft 1302.

[0159] Specifically, one end of the conversion member 4 is hinged to the second transmission member 7 via a first hinge shaft 1301. This end and the first hinge shaft 1301 can move together with the second transmission member 7 in the telescopic direction, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2. In addition, the mop assembly 2 has a housing 201. A portion of the structure of the housing 201 extends upward and is hinged to the other end of the conversion member 4 via a second hinge shaft 1302, so as to realize the hinge between the mop assembly 2 and the other end of the conversion member 4. The housing 201 and the second hinge shaft 1302 can move up and down together with the other end of the conversion member 4, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0160] During the process of the telescopic drive 3 applying a retracting force and driving the mop assembly 2 to retract, when the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 continues to apply a retracting force, and the conversion component 4 rotates, thereby converting the retracting force into an upward force, driving the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1.

[0161] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 can start to apply the extension force as needed, and the conversion component 4 rotates, thereby converting the extension force into the descent force, which drives the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0162] The rotation of the conversion component 4 enables the coordinated operation of the telescopic component and the lifting component. The power source for both the telescopic component and the lifting component is the telescopic drive component 3, which greatly simplifies the drive structure of the mop mechanism and significantly improves the reliability of the mop mechanism.

[0163] Furthermore, the lifting assembly also includes an abutment 5, which is connected to the base 1. The conversion member 4 rotates by abutting against the abutment 5, converting the retraction force into an upward force or the extension force into a downward force.

[0164] like Figures 10-14 As shown, the lifting assembly also includes an abutment 5, which is connected to the base 1. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 continues to apply a retraction force, and the conversion member 4 abuts against the abutment 5, causing the conversion member 4 to rotate, converting the retraction force into an upward force, and driving the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1. The cooperation between the conversion member 4 and the abutment 5 constitutes a crank-connecting rod structure.

[0165] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 can start to apply the extension force as needed. The conversion part 4 abuts against the abutting part 5, causing the conversion part 4 to rotate and convert the extension force into a descent force, which drives the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0166] In this embodiment, the abutment 5 is indirectly connected to the base 1. The abutment 5 is disposed on the cover 8 and protrudes from the side of the cover 8 facing the mop assembly 2 to facilitate the abutment engagement between the conversion component 4 and the abutment 5. Optionally, the abutment 5 and the cover 8 are integrally formed.

[0167] like Figure 3As shown, in order to make the mop assembly 2 rise and fall more smoothly, there are two sets of lifting components, and the two sets of lifting components are set at a distance apart. One set of lifting components is closer to the mop drive assembly 11 set on the mop assembly 2, and the other set of lifting components is farther away from the mop drive assembly 11.

[0168] Furthermore, the conversion member 4 has a first contact portion 401 and a second contact portion 402. When the mop assembly 2 is in the second position, the first contact portion 401 abuts against the abutting member 5, and the conversion member 4 rotates in the first direction, converting the retraction force into an upward force and driving the mop assembly 2 to rise. When the mop assembly 2 is in the third position, the second contact portion 402 abuts against the abutting member 5, and the conversion member 4 rotates in the second direction, converting the extension force into a downward force and driving the mop assembly 2 to fall. The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0169] like Figures 10-14 As shown, the upper part of the conversion member 4 is formed with a notch structure 403. The conversion member 4 has a first contact portion 401 and a second contact portion 402, which are the two sides of the notch structure 403, respectively. One end of the first contact portion 401 and the second contact portion 402 are connected, and the first contact portion 401 and the second contact portion 402 are arranged at an included angle.

[0170] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 continues to apply the retraction force, the first contact part 401 abuts against the abutting part 5 and changes the movement form of the conversion part 4. The conversion part 4 begins to rotate in the first direction, converting the retraction force into an upward force, which drives the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1.

[0171] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 can start to apply the extension force as needed. The second contact part 402 abuts against the abutting part 5 and changes the movement form of the conversion part 4. The conversion part 4 starts to rotate in the second direction, converting the extension force into a downward force, which drives the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0172] The first direction is opposite to the second direction. By abutting different parts of the conversion component 4 with the abutting component 5, the conversion component 4 can be easily rotated in different directions. This allows the retraction force to be converted into an upward force, driving the mop assembly 2 to rise, or the extension force to be converted into a downward force, driving the mop assembly 2 to fall. This lifting component has a simple and compact structure, contains fewer parts, occupies less space, and has higher reliability in the cooperation between the components.

[0173] Furthermore, the abutment 5 is protrudingly disposed on the side of the cover 8 facing the mop assembly 2. The abutment 5 has a first abutment portion 501 and a second abutment portion 502. The first abutment portion 501 is adapted to abut against the first contact portion 401, and the second abutment portion 502 is adapted to abut against the second contact portion 402.

[0174] like Figures 10-14 As shown, the abutment 5 protrudes from the side of the cover 8 facing the mop assembly 2. The abutment 5 has a triangular structure, which is suitable for entering the notch structure 403 of the converter 4, thus realizing the engagement between the converter 4 and the abutment 5. The engagement principle between the converter 4 and the abutment 5 is similar to the lever principle, that is, the abutment 5 can convert the linear reciprocating motion into the rotational motion of the converter 4. And because the converter 4 is supported by the abutment 5, the end of the converter 4 that is hinged to the mop assembly 2 will rise or fall, thereby driving the mop assembly 2 to rise or fall.

[0175] The abutting member 5 has a first abutting part 501 and abutting part 502. The first abutting part 501 and the second abutting part 502 are respectively two sides of the triangular structure. The first abutting part 501 is adapted to cooperate with the first contact part 401, and the second abutting part 502 is adapted to cooperate with the second contact part 402.

[0176] Specifically, such as Figures 11-14 As shown, when the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 continues to apply a retraction force (the direction of the retraction force is as shown in the figure). Figure 11 , 12 (As shown by arrow F), the first contact part 401 abuts against the first abutting part 501, changing the movement of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 begins to rotate in the first direction, converting the retraction force into an upward force (the direction of the upward force is as shown by arrow F). Figure 11 , 12 (As indicated by the middle arrow z), it causes the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1.

[0177] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer rise relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 can begin to apply an extension force as needed (the direction of the extension force is as follows). Figure 13 , 14 (As shown by the middle arrow F'), the second contact part 402 abuts against the second abutting part 502, changing the movement form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 begins to rotate in the second direction, converting the extension force into a downward force (the direction of the downward force is as shown by the middle arrow F'). Figure 13 , 14 (As indicated by the middle arrow z'), it causes the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1.

[0178] by Figures 11-14Taking the perspective as an example, the first direction is clockwise, and the second direction is counterclockwise.

[0179] The mop mechanism of this embodiment, driven by a single motor (telescopic drive 3), realizes four movement modes of the entire mop assembly 2: extension, retraction, rising, and falling through a crank-connecting rod structure. This solves the problems of complex drive structure, too many parts, poor structural reliability, and poor movement stability of traditional mop assemblies. The mop mechanism of this embodiment, with its simple structure, can ensure the smooth extension, retraction, rising, and falling of the mop assembly 2, and achieve a good mopping and cleaning effect.

[0180] Furthermore, the mop mechanism also includes a clamping member 15, which is disposed on the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly. The clamping member 15 is used to apply downward pressure to the mop assembly 2. By setting the clamping member 15 to apply downward pressure to the mop assembly 2, the downward pressure of the mop assembly 2 on the surface to be cleaned (such as the ground) is more even, the mop assembly 2 can fit the surface to be cleaned more closely, the cleaning performance of the mop assembly 2 is improved, the cleaning effect of the mop assembly 2 is more uniform, and the cleaning efficiency is improved, thereby achieving the best cleaning effect.

[0181] The mop mechanism also includes a clamping element 15, which is disposed on the telescopic assembly and the lifting assembly to apply downward pressure to the mop assembly 2. The clamping element 15 consistently applies downward pressure to the mop assembly 2 in various positions and states, thereby ensuring a more balanced weight distribution.

[0182] Especially when the mop assembly 2 is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, the clamping member 15 applies downward pressure to the mop assembly 2, so that the mop assembly 2 applies a uniform downward pressure to the surface to be cleaned (such as the ground), reducing the difference in downward pressure caused by uneven gravity of the mop assembly 2, so that the mop assembly 2 can fit the surface to be cleaned more closely, improving the cleaning performance of the mop assembly 2, making the cleaning effect of the mop assembly 2 more uniform, and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0183] It should be noted that the position of the mop assembly 2 in contact with the surface to be cleaned includes the first position, the second position, and the position of the mop assembly 2 during the extension and retraction process (excluding the position of the mop assembly 2 in the third position and the position during the rising and falling process).

[0184] Furthermore, the clamping member 15 is an elastic clamping member, with one end of the clamping member 15 abutting against the telescopic component and the other end abutting against the lifting component.

[0185] The clamping element 15 is specifically an elastic clamping element, which can reliably apply downward pressure to the mop assembly and has a simple structure, is readily available, and has low operating costs.

[0186] like Figure 21As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping member 15 is a torsion spring. The clamping member 15 is disposed on the conversion member 4, with one end of the clamping member 15 abutting against the conversion member 4 and the other end abutting against the second transmission member 7. The clamping member 15's placement on the conversion member 4 fully utilizes the structural space of the lifting assembly, improving space utilization and making the mop mechanism's structure more compact and rational. The connection relationship of the clamping member 15—one end abutting against the conversion member 4 and the other end abutting against the second transmission member 7—is simple and facilitates structural design.

[0187] In this embodiment, the clamping member 15 includes a fixed part 1501 and a movable part 1502, which are connected together. The fixed part 1501 abuts against the conversion member 4, and the movable part 1502 abuts against the second transmission member 7. This clamping member 15 has a relatively simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and helps to reduce product costs.

[0188] Specifically, the fixed part 1501 is a rod-shaped structure, and both ends of the fixed part 1501 are connected to movable parts 1502. The end of the movable part 1502 away from the fixed part 1501 is a free end, which is suitable for abutting against the second transmission component 7. This clamping component 15 has a relatively simple structure, which is conducive to the rapid installation of the clamping component 15 and improves assembly efficiency.

[0189] To enhance the elasticity of the clamping member 15, both ends of the fixed part 1501 are connected to the movable part 1502 through the elastic part 1503, so that the clamping member 15 has sufficient elasticity to apply downward pressure to the mop assembly 2, thereby further improving the reliability of the structure.

[0190] To facilitate the connection between the two ends of the fixing part 1501 and the elastic part 1503, a support arm 1504 is also provided between the fixing part 1501 and the elastic part 1503. One end of the support arm 1504 is connected to the fixing part 1501, and the other end is connected to the elastic part 1503.

[0191] In this embodiment, the conversion member 4 is provided with a notch structure 403 on the side facing away from the second transmission member 7, and the fixing part 1501 abuts against the bottom of the notch structure 403.

[0192] like Figure 22As shown, the clamping member 15 is mounted on the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 has receiving grooves 404 formed on both sides, and the elastic portion 1503 of the clamping member 15 is disposed within these receiving grooves 404. Furthermore, the side of the conversion member 4 facing away from the second transmission member 7 (i.e., the upper surface of the conversion member 4) has a "V"-shaped structure, which is a notch structure 403. The bottom of the notch structure 403 is recessed inward, and the fixing portion 1501 abuts against the bottom of the notch structure 403. Specifically, the fixing portion 1501 is engaged with the bottom of the notch structure 403 to reliably limit the positioning of the fixing portion 1501, making its position more stable. This ensures that the fixing portion 1501 and the conversion member 4 can be firmly abutted, improving structural reliability.

[0193] In this embodiment, the second transmission member 7 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 702 near the conversion member 4. The position and number of snap-fit ​​grooves 702 match the movable part 1502 of the clamping member 15. When the elastic part 1503 is placed in the receiving groove 404, the movable part 1502 extends out of the receiving groove 404 and abuts against the bottom of the snap-fit ​​groove 702, that is, the movable part 1502 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 702 to reliably limit the movable part 1502, making the setting position of the movable part 1502 more stable, and the movable part 1502 and the second transmission member 7 can be firmly abutted, improving the structural reliability.

[0194] Furthermore, since the clamping member 15 is disposed on the conversion member 4, when the conversion member 4 rotates and converts the retraction force into an upward force, the downward pressure applied by the clamping member 15 to the mop assembly 2 increases, and when the conversion member 4 rotates and converts the extension force into a downward force, the downward pressure applied by the clamping member 15 to the mop assembly 2 decreases.

[0195] In this embodiment, the magnitude of the downward pressure applied by the compression member 15 to the mop assembly 2 is related to the rotation of the conversion member 4. When the conversion member 4 rotates and converts the retraction force into an upward force, the downward pressure applied by the compression member 15 to the mop assembly 2 increases. When the conversion member 4 rotates and converts the extension force into a downward force, the downward pressure applied by the compression member 15 to the mop assembly 2 decreases.

[0196] like Figures 23-24 As shown, after the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 can no longer retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 continues to apply a retraction force as needed, and the conversion component 4 rotates (to... Figure 23 Taking the perspective as an example, the conversion component 4 rotates clockwise, thereby converting the retraction force into an upward force, causing the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1. The included angle between the fixed part 1501 and the movable part 1502 of the clamping component 15 is φ. As the mop assembly 2 continues to rise, the included angle φ gradually decreases, and the downward pressure F1 applied by the fixed part 1501 to the mop assembly 2 gradually increases. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the included angle φ = φ1.

[0197] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, it can no longer rise relative to the base 1. At this point, the telescopic drive 3 begins to apply an extension force as needed, and the conversion component 4 rotates (to... Figure 24 Taking the perspective as an example, the conversion component 4 rotates counterclockwise, thereby converting the extension force into a downward force, causing the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1. The angle between the fixed part 1501 and the movable part 1502 of the clamping component 15 is φ. As the mop assembly 2 continues to rise, the angle φ gradually increases, and the downward pressure F1 applied by the fixed part 1501 to the mop assembly 2 gradually decreases. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the angle φ = φ2, and φ2 > φ1.

[0198] During the upward movement of the mop assembly 2, the downward pressure F1 applied to the mop assembly 2 by the fixing part 1501 gradually increases. When the mop assembly 2 begins to descend, the downward pressure F1 can help the mop assembly 2 descend to its position as quickly as possible, thereby assisting in controlling the descent process of the mop assembly 2.

[0199] Furthermore, a mop drive assembly 11 is provided on the mop assembly 2, and the clamping member 15 applies force to the mop assembly 2 away from the mop drive assembly 11.

[0200] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the mop assembly 2 is equipped with a mop drive assembly 11. Specifically, the mop drive assembly 11 is located at one end of the mop assembly 2, where the weight of the mop assembly 2 is greater, while the weight of the other end of the mop assembly 2 is less. Therefore, by positioning the clamping member 15 to apply force to the mop assembly 2 away from the mop drive assembly 11, the overall weight of the mop assembly 2 is made more uniform. This allows the mop assembly 2 to apply a more even downward pressure to the surface to be cleaned, improving the cleaning effect and increasing cleaning efficiency.

[0201] In this embodiment, the clamping member 15 is disposed on the conversion member 4 away from the mop drive assembly 11, so that the weight of the mop assembly 2 is uniform, and it can save costs and simplify the assembly process.

[0202] In other embodiments, a clamping member 15 can be provided on the conversion member 4 of each lifting component, and the clamping member 15 with different elasticity can be selected according to the distance between the conversion member 4 and the mop drive component 11, so as to make the overall weight of the mop component 2 more uniform and improve the cleaning effect.

[0203] Furthermore, the mop mechanism also includes a pipeline with an inlet and an outlet, the inlet and outlet being axially parallel and having the openings facing the same direction. One of the inlet and outlet is connected to the base 1, and the other is connected to the mop assembly 2.

[0204] This mop mechanism features a U-shaped pipeline with its inlet and outlet axially parallel and facing the same direction. This design results in a more compact and easier-to-install pipeline, significantly saving space and freeing up more room for other components. This improves the space utilization of the mop mechanism, reducing its size and weight. Furthermore, this pipeline is less prone to friction and collision with other structures as it moves with the mop assembly, reducing motion resistance, energy consumption, and noise, thus improving operating efficiency. It also reduces the risk of pipeline rupture and leakage, enhancing structural reliability. Additionally, the shorter travel distance and less deformation during movement with the mop assembly reduce fatigue and extend the pipeline's lifespan, improving the overall performance of the mop mechanism and enhancing the user experience.

[0205] The mop assembly 2 includes a housing 201, roller mops, a sludge collection tank, and a scraper. Typically, two roller mops are provided, with the sludge collection tank positioned between them. A scraper is positioned above the sludge collection tank, its ends contacting the two roller mops to scrape off debris and wastewater from their outer walls. This debris and wastewater fall into the sludge collection tank for later centralized cleaning. The top of the housing 201 also features a sludge collection tank inlet 19 and a scraper inlet 20. The sludge collection tank inlet 19 is used to suction out wastewater, draining accumulated wastewater from the sludge collection tank. The scraper inlet 20 is used to inject clean water for spraying onto the roller mops, improving cleaning efficiency.

[0206] The mopping mechanism includes at least one pipeline for conveying clean water or wastewater. The pipeline has an inlet and an outlet. Taking the conveying of clean water as an example, the clean water enters the pipeline from the inlet and flows out of the pipeline from the outlet. Depending on the different needs of the mopping mechanism, the mopping mechanism may include one, two, three, or other types of pipelines.

[0207] In this embodiment, the pipeline is a cylindrical tubular structure. After assembly, the inlet and outlet are axially parallel and face the same direction. This pipeline has only one bend, forming a U-shape, which reduces deformation and makes the structure more compact, saving installation space. One of the inlet and outlet is connected to the base 1, and the other is connected to the mop assembly 2. During the extension and retraction of the mop assembly 2, one of the inlet and outlet remains stationary, while the other extends and retracts with the mop assembly 2. The U-shaped pipeline occupies less installation space, is less prone to friction and collision with other structures, reduces movement resistance and energy consumption, lowers noise, improves equipment operating efficiency, and reduces the risk of pipeline rupture and leakage, thus improving structural reliability. Moreover, when this type of pipeline moves with the mop assembly 2, the overall movement distance of the pipeline is relatively short, there will be no excessive bending, the deformation is small, the pipeline is not prone to fatigue, which can improve the service life of the pipeline, improve the overall performance of the mop mechanism, and enhance the user experience.

[0208] It should be noted that the length of the pipeline should meet the requirement that the pipeline extends and retracts together with the mop assembly 2. During the process of the pipeline extending and retracting together with the mop assembly 2, the length of the pipeline remains unchanged, only the shape of the pipeline changes.

[0209] Furthermore, the mop assembly 2 moves telescopically relative to the base 1 within the first plane, and the axial directions of the water inlet and outlet are coplanar with the second plane, with the first plane perpendicular to the second plane.

[0210] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 25-30 As shown, in this embodiment, the mop assembly 2 extends and retracts relative to the base 1 within the first plane. Depending on the usage scenario, the position of the surface to be cleaned varies, and correspondingly, the cleaning posture of the mop mechanism also differs. Taking the ground as an example, the first plane is the plane containing the x-axis, i.e., the horizontal plane. The mop assembly 2 extends and retracts within the horizontal plane, as shown... Figure 25 As shown.

[0211] The inlet and outlet are parallel in axis, meaning their axes lie in the same plane. In this embodiment, their axes are coplanar with a second plane, and the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane. This piping layout makes full use of structural space, reduces the space occupied, and significantly improves space utilization. Simultaneously, this piping layout helps reduce the impact of the mop assembly's telescopic movement on piping deformation, minimizing piping deformation and ensuring piping lifespan. Furthermore, it prevents the piping arrangement from affecting the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2, improving structural reliability.

[0212] Specifically, the second plane is a vertical plane, with one of the inlet and outlet located above the other. Taking the surface to be cleaned as the ground as an example, the second plane is the plane containing the z-axis.

[0213] like Figures 27-30 As shown, in this embodiment, the surface to be cleaned is the ground, the mop assembly 2 moves telescopically in the horizontal plane, and the axes of the water inlet and outlet are in the same vertical plane. This arrangement makes full use of the vertical space of the mop mechanism, making the structural layout more reasonable and further improving the utilization rate of the space.

[0214] Depending on the function of the pipeline, one of the inlet and outlet is located above the other. For example, for a clean water pipe, the inlet is above the outlet, while for a sewage pipe, the outlet is above the inlet.

[0215] Furthermore, the openings of the water inlet and outlet face the direction of the retraction movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0216] like Figure 4 As shown, the retraction direction of the mop assembly 2 is as indicated by arrow b. Figures 27-30 Taking a perspective view as an example, in this embodiment, the openings of the inlet and outlet face the retracting movement direction of the mop assembly 2, that is, the opening of the U-shaped pipe structure faces away from the extending movement direction of the mop assembly 2, so that the bends of the pipe are located close to the outside, avoiding interference from other structures and improving the reliability of the pipe connection. Moreover, this pipe layout can avoid other structures of the mop mechanism, avoid structural interference, and facilitate the installation of the pipe.

[0217] Furthermore, the pipeline includes a first pipeline 16 and a second pipeline 17, the inlet includes a first pipeline inlet 1601 and a second pipeline inlet 1701, and the outlet includes a first pipeline outlet 1602 and a second pipeline outlet 1702. The first pipeline inlet 1601 and the first pipeline outlet 1602 are axially parallel and have the same opening orientation. The second pipeline inlet 1701 and the second pipeline outlet 1702 are axially parallel and have the same opening orientation.

[0218] like Figure 25 As shown, in this embodiment, the pipeline includes a first pipeline 16 and a second pipeline 17. Specifically, the first pipeline 16 is a clean water pipeline, used to spray clean water onto the mop assembly 2 to improve the cleaning effect. The second pipeline 17 is a wastewater pipeline, used to collect wastewater from the sludge collection tank.

[0219] The inlet includes a first pipeline inlet 1601 and a second pipeline inlet 1701, and the outlet includes a first pipeline outlet 1602 and a second pipeline outlet 1702. The first pipeline inlet 1601 and the first pipeline outlet 1602 are axially parallel and have the same opening orientation. The second pipeline inlet 1701 and the second pipeline outlet 1702 are axially parallel and have the same opening orientation.

[0220] The first pipe 16 has a first pipe inlet 1601 and a first pipe outlet 1602. The first pipe inlet 1601 is connected to an external water pipe, and the first pipe outlet 1602 is connected to a scraper interface 20. The cleaning water from the external water pipe flows through the first pipe 16 to the scraper and is then sprayed onto the mop assembly 2, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the mop assembly 2.

[0221] The inlet 1601 and outlet 1602 of the first pipeline are parallel in axis and have the same opening direction. The first pipeline 16 is U-shaped, which makes the pipeline structure more compact, easier to install, and significantly saves installation space, improving the space utilization of the mop mechanism. The bend in the U-shaped first pipeline 16 is the bend portion 1603, which is located near the outer side in this embodiment. When the outlet 1602 of the first pipeline extends and retracts with the mop assembly 2, the deformation of the first pipeline 16 is small, the pipeline is less prone to fatigue, and the service life of the pipeline is improved.

[0222] The second pipeline 17 has a second pipeline inlet 1701 and a second pipeline outlet 1702. The second pipeline inlet 1701 is connected to the sludge collection tank interface 19, and the second pipeline outlet 1702 is connected to an external sewage collection device. The sewage accumulated in the sludge collection tank is discharged through the second pipeline 17.

[0223] The second pipe inlet 1701 and the second pipe outlet 1702 are axially parallel and have the same opening direction. The second pipe 17 is U-shaped, which makes the pipe structure more compact, easier to install, and significantly saves installation space, improving the space utilization of the mop assembly. The bend in the U-shaped second pipe 17 is the second pipe bend 1703, which is located near the outer side in this embodiment. When the second pipe inlet 1701 moves telescopically with the mop assembly 2, the deformation of the second pipe 17 is small, the pipe is less prone to fatigue, and the service life of the pipe is improved.

[0224] Furthermore, the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17 are arranged side by side.

[0225] like Figure 25As shown, in this embodiment, the extension direction of the first pipe 16 is consistent with the extension direction of the second pipe 17, and the first pipe 16 and the second pipe 17 are arranged side by side. The first pipe 16 and the second pipe 17 form a double U-shaped pipe structure, which makes reasonable use of the internal space of the mop mechanism and improves the space utilization rate.

[0226] like Figure 25 As shown, the first pipe 16 and the second pipe 17 are arranged along the y-axis to form a double U-shaped pipe structure, which makes fuller use of the internal space of the mop mechanism and improves the space utilization rate.

[0227] Furthermore, one of the inlet and outlet is connected to the base 1 via an adapter 18.

[0228] In this embodiment, the first pipeline inlet 1601 and the second pipeline outlet 1702 are connected to the base 1 via an adapter 18 to facilitate pipeline installation and connection, simplify pipeline setup, improve assembly efficiency, ensure the sealing of the interface, and enhance the reliability of the pipeline structure.

[0229] Furthermore, the adapter 18 includes an adapter first part 1801 and an adapter second part 1802 that are interconnected. The adapter first part 1801 and the adapter second part 1802 are set at an angle. The adapter first part 1801 is disposed on the base 1, and the adapter second part 1802 is connected to one of the water inlet and the water outlet.

[0230] like Figure 25 As shown, in this embodiment, the adapter 18 includes a first adapter portion 1801 and a second adapter portion 1802 that are interconnected, and the first adapter portion 1801 and the second adapter portion 1802 are set at an angle. By changing the angle between the first adapter portion 1801 and the second adapter portion 1802, the extension direction of the pipeline can be easily adjusted, improving the flexibility of pipeline installation. To save installation space, in this embodiment, the first adapter portion 1801 and the second adapter portion 1802 are set at 90°.

[0231] In other embodiments, the angle between the first part 1801 and the second part 1802 of the adapter may also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle, such as 60°, 120°, etc.

[0232] Furthermore, one of the inlet and outlet is connected to the base 1 via an adapter 18, which is located on the cover 8.

[0233] In this embodiment, the adapter 18 is disposed on the cover 8, making full use of the space on the cover 8 and improving the space utilization of the mop mechanism.

[0234] Specifically, the first pipe inlet 1601 and the second pipe outlet 1702 are each connected to an adapter 18. The two adapters 18 are arranged side by side on the cover 8 to achieve indirect connection between the first pipe inlet 1601, the second pipe outlet 1702 and the base 1. During the extension and retraction of the mop assembly 2, the first pipe inlet 1601 and the second pipe outlet 1702 are fixed, while the first pipe outlet 1602 and the second pipe inlet 1701 extend and retract together with the mop assembly 2.

[0235] Furthermore, the second transmission member 7 has a clearance space 703, through which the pipeline is arranged.

[0236] like Figure 25 As shown, a clearance space 703 is provided on the second transmission component 7. The clearance space 703 is a through hole structure, through which the first pipe 16 and the second pipe 17 can pass to achieve pipe connection.

[0237] In addition, since the bottom of the second transmission component 7 is also provided with a friction plate 12, a corresponding clearance through hole is also provided on the friction plate 12 so that the first pipeline 16 and the second pipeline 17 can pass through.

[0238] This embodiment also provides a mop control system for controlling the above-mentioned mop mechanism. The mop control system includes a control unit, which is electrically connected to the telescopic drive 3.

[0239] The control unit is used to control the overall operation of the mop mechanism. The signal output terminal of the control unit is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the telescopic drive 3. Under the control of the control unit, the telescopic movement and lifting movement of the mop assembly 2 can be realized.

[0240] Furthermore, the mop control system also includes a position detection component, which is electrically connected to the control unit and is used to detect the position of the mop assembly 2. The position detection component is located between the base 1 and the mop assembly 2.

[0241] The position detection component is used to detect the position of the mop assembly 2. The signal output terminal of the position detection component is electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the control unit. The position detection component can send the position information of the mop assembly 2 to the control unit. The control unit controls the operation of the telescopic drive 3 according to the position information of the mop assembly 2 fed back by the position detection component, such as controlling the telescopic drive 3 to rotate forward, reverse, or stop.

[0242] This mopping control system, driven by a single motor (telescopic drive component 3), achieves precise extension, retraction, and lifting of the entire mop assembly 2 through a crank-connecting rod structure and a position detection component. It solves the problems of complex drive structures, numerous components, inaccurate positioning, poor structural reliability, and poor motion stability of traditional mop assembly drive structures. The mopping control system in this embodiment, with its simple structure, can ensure the smooth and precise extension, retraction, and lifting of the mop assembly 2, achieving good mopping cleaning results and improving the user experience.

[0243] Furthermore, the position detection component includes a position detection element 9 and a position trigger element 10. The position detection element 9 is connected to the base 1, and the position trigger element 10 is connected to the second transmission element 7 and moves with the second transmission element 7. The position detection element 9 and the position trigger element 10 cooperate to detect the position of the mop assembly 2.

[0244] like Figures 15-18 As shown, the position detection component includes a position detection element 9 and a position trigger element 10. The position detection element 9 and the position trigger element 10 cooperate to detect the position of the mop assembly 2. In this embodiment, the position detection element 9 is a Hall sensor.

[0245] The position detection component 9 is connected to the base 1, and the position trigger component 10 is connected to the second transmission component 7 and moves with the second transmission component 7. The second transmission component 7 drives the mop assembly 2 to extend and retract. The position trigger component 10 located at different positions can trigger the position detection component 9, thereby achieving accurate detection of the position of the mop assembly 2.

[0246] In this embodiment, the position detection element 9 is indirectly connected to the base 1, and the position detection element 9 is disposed on the cover 8.

[0247] Furthermore, the position detection element 9 includes a first sensing part 901, a second sensing part 902, a third sensing part 903, and a fourth sensing part 904 arranged at intervals. The position triggering element 10 is provided in multiple ways and the multiple position triggering elements 10 are arranged at intervals. When the position triggering element 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing part 903 until the position triggering element 10 triggers the fourth sensing part 904, the mop assembly 2 is located in the first position. When the position triggering element 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing part 903 until the position triggering element 10 triggers the second sensing part 902, the mop assembly 2 is located in the second position. When the position triggering element 10 triggers the first sensing part 901, the mop assembly 2 is located in the third position.

[0248] like Figures 15-18As shown, the position detection element 9 is a Hall sensor, which has multiple sensing elements. In this embodiment, the sensing element is a sensing plate. Specifically, the position detection element 9 includes a first sensing element 901, a second sensing element 902, a third sensing element 903, and a fourth sensing element 904 arranged at intervals. The position trigger element 10 is disposed on the second transmission element 7. The first sensing element 901, the second sensing element 902, the third sensing element 903, and the fourth sensing element 904 are arranged according to the reachable movement position of the mop assembly 2. In this embodiment, the first sensing element 901, the second sensing element 902, the third sensing element 903, and the fourth sensing element 904 are arranged sequentially along the extension movement direction of the mop assembly 2, and the distance between the first sensing element 901 and the second sensing element 902 is relatively close, while the distance between the second sensing element 902, the third sensing element 903, and the fourth sensing element 904 is relatively far.

[0249] Multiple position triggers 10 are provided, and the multiple position triggers 10 are spaced apart. In this embodiment, the spacing between adjacent position triggers 10 is relatively uniform to improve the accuracy of position detection. Specifically, the position trigger 10 is a light shield. When the position trigger 10 blocks a certain sensing plate, the sensing plate responds.

[0250] During the movement of the mop assembly 2, the position detection component detects the position of the mop assembly 2 in real time. The specific detection process is as follows:

[0251] When the mop assembly 2 extends relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing unit 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the fourth sensing unit 904. At this point, the mop assembly 2 is in the first position and cannot continue to extend relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches the maximum extension position.

[0252] When the mop assembly 2 retracts relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing unit 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the second sensing unit 902. At this point, the mop assembly 2 is in the second position and cannot continue to retract relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches the maximum retracted position.

[0253] When the mop assembly 2 rises relative to the base 1, and the position trigger 10 triggers the first sensing unit 901, the mop assembly 2 is in the third position and cannot continue to rise relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches the maximum rising position.

[0254] This embodiment also provides a cleaning device, including a base 1 and a mop mechanism or a mop control system as described above.

[0255] The mop mechanism of this cleaning equipment, by setting a driving component, namely the telescopic driving component 3, can drive the mop assembly 2 to extend, retract, rise, and fall in four movement modes. This greatly simplifies the driving structure of the mop mechanism, making it easier to install and set up. In addition, the reliability of the driving structure of the mop assembly 2 is significantly improved, ensuring that the cleaning equipment using this mop mechanism has a better cleaning effect and significantly improves the user experience.

[0256] Of course, this cleaning equipment also has other structural components that are present in existing cleaning equipment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0257] Furthermore, the cleaning equipment is one of the following: a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, a floor scrubbing robot, and a cleaning robot. For example, a sweeping robot, a handheld floor scrubbing robot, and a fully automatic floor scrubbing robot. In this embodiment, the cleaning equipment is a cleaning sweeping robot.

[0258] The working process of the cleaning equipment in this embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0259] When the cleaning equipment needs to clean corner areas such as walls, the control unit controls the telescopic drive 3 to operate. The telescopic drive 3 applies an extension force, and the first transmission component 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic drive 3. The first transmission component 6 drives the second transmission component 7 to move in the extension direction, which in turn drives the mop assembly 2 to move in the extension direction, and the mop assembly 2 extends relative to the base 1. During the process of the mop assembly 2 extending relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing unit 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the fourth sensing unit 904. At this point, the mop assembly 2 is in the first position and cannot continue to extend relative to the base 1; the mop assembly 2 has reached its maximum extension position.

[0260] During the process of the mop assembly 2 extending relative to the base 1, the extension movement of the mop assembly 2 is smooth and the position is highly accurate. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the first position, the mop assembly 2 can perform cleaning work on the corner areas, and the cleaning effect is good.

[0261] When the cleaning equipment finishes cleaning the corner areas, the control unit controls the telescopic drive 3 to operate. The telescopic drive 3 applies a retraction force, and the first transmission component 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic drive 3. The first transmission component 6 drives the second transmission component 7 to move in the retraction direction, which in turn drives the mop assembly 2 to move in the retraction direction, and the mop assembly 2 retracts relative to the base 1. During the retraction of the mop assembly 2 relative to the base 1, the position trigger 10 intermittently triggers the third sensing unit 903 until the position trigger 10 triggers the second sensing unit 902. At this point, the mop assembly 2 is in the second position and can no longer retract relative to the base 1; the mop assembly 2 has reached its maximum retraction position.

[0262] During the process of the mop assembly 2 retracting relative to the base 1, the retraction movement of the mop assembly 2 is smooth and the position is highly accurate. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, the mop assembly 2 is fully retracted into the base 1, and subsequent cleaning work can continue.

[0263] When the cleaning equipment needs to return to the base station for cleaning or needs to avoid obstacles, the control unit controls the telescopic drive 3 to operate. The telescopic drive 3 applies a retraction force, and the first transmission member 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic drive 3. The first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move in the retraction direction. Since the mop assembly 2 has already reached the second position, the mop assembly 2 no longer continues to retract with the second transmission member 7. The first contact part 401 abuts against the first abutting part 501 and changes the movement form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 begins to rotate in the first direction, converting the retraction force into an upward force, causing the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1. When the position trigger 10 triggers the first sensing part 901, the mop assembly 2 is in the third position, and the mop assembly 2 can no longer rise relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches the maximum rising position, and the telescopic drive 3 stops operating.

[0264] During the process of the mop assembly 2 rising relative to the base 1, the upward movement of the mop assembly 2 is smooth and the position is highly accurate. When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, the mop assembly 2 completely leaves the ground and can return to the base station for cleaning or obstacle avoidance, so as to avoid secondary contamination of the cleaned ground or collision with other objects (such as carpets).

[0265] When the cleaning equipment reaches the base station or completes obstacle avoidance, the control unit controls the telescopic drive 3 to operate. The telescopic drive 3 applies an extension force, and the first transmission member 6 rotates together with the output end of the telescopic drive 3. The first transmission member 6 drives the second transmission member 7 to move in the extension direction. At this time, the mop assembly 2 does not extend or move with the second transmission member 7. The second contact part 402 abuts against the second abutment part 502 and changes the movement form of the conversion member 4. The conversion member 4 begins to rotate in the second direction, converting the extension force into a descent force, causing the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1. When the position trigger 10 triggers the second sensing part 902, the mop assembly 2 is in the second position, the mop assembly 2 descends to the correct position, and the mop assembly 2 re-contacts the ground, allowing cleaning work to continue.

[0266] The clamping element 15 constantly applies downward pressure to the mop assembly 2 to balance the overall weight of the mop assembly 2. Especially when the mop assembly 2 is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, the downward pressure of the mop assembly 2 on the ground is more even, the mop assembly 2 can fit the ground more closely, improve the cleaning performance of the mop assembly 2, and increase cleaning efficiency.

[0267] In addition, such as Figures 27-30As shown, during the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2, the first pipe outlet 1602 of the first pipe 16 and the second pipe inlet 1701 of the second pipe 17 both telescopically move together with the mop assembly 2.

[0268] When the water outlet 1602 of the first pipeline and the water inlet 1701 of the second pipeline move a distance L with the mop assembly 2, the moving distance of the bending part 1603 of the first pipeline and the bending part 1703 of the second pipeline is 0.5L, which greatly reduces the deformation of the pipeline, reduces the bending of the pipeline, avoids pipeline fatigue, and avoids the problem of affecting the service life.

[0269] like Figures 19-20 As shown, another embodiment of the lifting component in the mop mechanism.

[0270] The lifting assembly includes a conversion element 4 and a ramp 14. The shape and structure of the conversion element 4 differ from that in the previous embodiment. In this embodiment, the conversion element 4 is a straight rod structure, also referred to as a crank. The conversion element 4 has two connecting ends, one of which is hinged to the telescopic assembly, and the other end is hinged to the mop assembly 2. Specifically, one end of the conversion element 4 is hinged to the telescopic assembly via a first hinge shaft 1301, and the other end is hinged to the mop assembly 2 via a second hinge shaft 1302.

[0271] Specifically, one end of the conversion component 4 is hinged to the second transmission component 7 via a first hinge shaft 1301. This end and the first hinge shaft 1301 can move together with the second transmission component 7 in the telescopic direction, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the mop assembly 2. The housing 201 of the mop assembly 2 is hinged to the other end of the conversion component 4 via a second hinge shaft 1302, so as to realize the hinge between the mop assembly 2 and the other end of the conversion component 4. The housing 201 and the second hinge shaft 1302 can move up and down together with the other end of the conversion component 4, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the mop assembly 2.

[0272] The inclined block 14 is connected to the base 1. In this embodiment, the inclined block 14 is indirectly connected to the base 1. The inclined block 14 is disposed on the cover 8 and is disposed on the path of the conversion member 4 as it retracts with the second transmission member 7, so as to facilitate the abutment and engagement between the conversion member 4 and the inclined block 14. Optionally, the inclined block 14 and the cover 8 are integrally formed.

[0273] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the second position, it can no longer retract relative to the base 1. At this time, the telescopic drive 3 continues to apply a retraction force, the conversion member 4 abuts against the inclined block 14, and the inclined block 14 limits the conversion member 4, causing it to rotate in the first direction, converting the retraction force into an upward force, driving the mop assembly 2 to rise relative to the base 1. When the position trigger 10 triggers the first sensor 901, the mop assembly 2 is in the third position, and it can no longer rise relative to the base 1. The mop assembly 2 reaches its maximum rising position, and the telescopic drive 3 stops operating. Figure 19 Taking the perspective as an example, the first direction is clockwise and counterclockwise.

[0274] When the mop assembly 2 reaches the third position, it can no longer rise relative to the base 1. At this point, the telescopic drive 3 can begin to apply an extension force as needed. The end of the conversion member 4 that is hinged to the second transmission member 7 moves along the extension direction with the second transmission member 7. Under the action of gravity, the conversion member 4 rotates in the second direction, converting the extension force into a descent force, which drives the mop assembly 2 to descend relative to the base 1. Figure 20 Taking the perspective as an example, the second direction is counterclockwise.

[0275] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
