Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0058] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0059] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0061] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0062] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application provides a cleaning device, which includes a main unit 100 and an edge module 200. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, from various angles, the host 100 is provided with an edge chamber 101, which has a chamber window. An edge module 200 is movably mounted in the edge chamber 101 of the host 100. The edge module 200 includes a drive mechanism 1000 and a cleaning mechanism 2000. The drive mechanism 1000 is motive-connected to the cleaning mechanism 2000. The drive mechanism 1000 can be used to drive the cleaning mechanism 2000 to perform a desired movement. For example, the drive mechanism 1000 can be used to control the cleaning mechanism 2000 to extend or retract along the chamber window, i.e., retract into the edge chamber 101 as intended, or extend out of the edge chamber 101 as intended.

[0063] If the main unit 100 is defined to have a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface, and the top surface, bottom surface, and side surface can substantially enclose the entire outer surface of the main unit 100, then the chamber window of the edge chamber 101 can be defined to include at least a first cavity opening and a second cavity opening that communicate with each other, with the first cavity opening facing the bottom surface of the main unit 100 and the second cavity opening facing the side surface of the main unit 100. This allows the chamber window of the edge chamber 101 to face at least the bottom surface and the side surface of the main unit 100. The first cavity opening and the second cavity opening can communicate with each other, for example, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first cavity and the second cavity are interconnected to form a complete chamber window facing the bottom and side surfaces of the main unit 100. Alternatively, the first cavity and the second cavity can be isolated from each other (or independent), which is not limited here.

[0064] Since the bottom and sides of the main unit 100 face the directions that the main unit 100 needs to clean during the cleaning process—that is, during the movement of the main unit 100, the bottom of the main unit 100 faces the ground and needs to clean the ground, while the sides of the main unit 100 face the wall and need to clean the wall—the drive mechanism 1000 can drive the cleaning mechanism 2000 to perform two actions of retraction and extension based on the first and second openings of the edge chamber 101. During the cleaning process, the cleaning action is performed on the ground and wall along the directions that the bottom and sides of the main unit 100 face, thus performing the edge cleaning function and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0065] Regarding the aforementioned drive mechanism 1000, the drive mechanism 1000 can employ at least one of various mechanisms such as a motor, gears, lead screws, and telescopic cylinders to perform the intended drive action. For example, in one embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the drive mechanism 1000 may include a transmission assembly 1100 and a drive assembly 1200. The transmission assembly 1100 includes a transmission link 1110 and a steering component 1120. The steering component 1120 is elastically mounted to the transmission link 1110 and is connected to the cleaning mechanism 2000. The drive assembly 1200 includes a drive bracket 1210 and a drive device 1220. The drive device 1220 is mounted to the drive bracket 1210, and its output end is configured to drive the input end connected to the transmission assembly 1100.

[0066] The drive bracket 1210 serves as the assembly base for the drive component 1220. The drive bracket 1210 can be specifically designed according to the structural design of the drive component 1220 to facilitate the assembly of the drive component 1220 and its smooth assembly with the transmission assembly 1100. No limitations are specified here. The drive component 1220 provides driving force, which drives the transmission assembly 1100 to perform the desired motion. For example, the output end of the drive component 1220 can be connected to the transmission link 1110, using the aforementioned driving force to control the movement of the transmission link 1110. Simultaneously, the steering component 1120 is elastically mounted to the transmission link 1110 and connected to the cleaning mechanism 2000, allowing the steering component 1120 to move relative to the transmission link 1110, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism 2000 to move.

[0067] In the above assembly structure, the driving component 1220 can be limited to control the transmission link 1110 to move in one direction using driving force, while the steering component 1120 can move relative to the transmission link 1110 in another direction. This allows the driving component 1220 to control both the transmission link 1110 and the steering component 1120 to move simultaneously in one direction, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism 2000 to move in one direction. Simultaneously, based on the movement of the steering component 1120 relative to the transmission link 1110, the rotating component can drive the cleaning mechanism 2000 to move in another direction, thus enabling the cleaning mechanism 2000 to move in two different directions.

[0068] For example, in one embodiment, the drive device 1220 may be configured to drive the input end of the transmission assembly 1100 along a first movement trajectory 1011 passing through a first cavity, and the steering component 1120 is elastically mounted to the output end of the transmission link 1110 along a second movement trajectory 1012 passing through a second cavity. Therefore, in one embodiment, the drive device 1220 can use driving force to control the transmission link 1110 and the steering component 1120 to move simultaneously along the first movement trajectory 1011, thereby controlling the cleaning mechanism 2000 to extend out of or retract into the first cavity for cleaning the floor.

[0069] Simultaneously, based on the movement of the steering component 1120 relative to the transmission link 1110, the rotating component can drive the cleaning mechanism 2000 to move along the second movement trajectory 1012. This allows the cleaning mechanism 2000 to extend out of or retract into the second cavity for cleaning the wall, ultimately enabling the cleaning mechanism 2000 to move in two different directions. The steering component 1120 can be mounted on the transmission link 1110 via one or more guide shafts that act as guides, moving along the second movement trajectory 1012.

[0070] Furthermore, the steering component 1120 can be movably assembled relative to the transmission link 1110 via an elastic assembly. For example, the steering component 1120 can be movably assembled relative to the transmission link 1110 via an elastic component such as a compression spring. The steering component 1120 is connected to the cleaning mechanism 2000. When the cleaning mechanism 2000 is subjected to pressure, the pressure is transmitted to the steering component 1120. After being subjected to force, the steering component 1120 can compress its stroke via an elastic component such as a compression spring. When the force is removed, it can return to its original position.

[0071] Therefore, the above-mentioned elastic assembly can be used to realize the adaptive force-bearing extension and retraction of the cleaning mechanism 2000, so that it has the adaptive inward retraction function after being subjected to force. It can be used to deal with uneven walls or obstacles, and can passively retract a certain distance to play a protective role.

[0072] In one embodiment, the transmission link 1110 can also be elastically connected to the drive bracket 1210. For example, the transmission link 1110 can be elastically connected to the drive bracket 1210 via a spring, sheet metal, tension spring, or other elastic structure, so that the movement of the transmission link 1110 can generate an elastic force relative to the drive bracket 1210. Therefore, when the drive device 1220 drives the transmission assembly 1100 to perform a corresponding movement, the transmission link 1110 can form an elastic movement tendency relative to the drive bracket 1210. The elasticity formed by this elastic assembly can effectively control the ground pressure of the cleaning structure relative to the ground, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0073] Regarding the aforementioned transmission link 1110, the transmission link 1110 can adopt a link structure with various structural designs. For example, in one embodiment, the transmission link 1110 can be configured as a four-bar structure. The design of the four-bar structure allows the transmission component 1100 to be evenly stressed in four different directions during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the movement and stress of the cleaning mechanism 2000.

[0074] For example, see Figure 8 As shown, the transmission link 1110 may include a first swing arm 1111, a second swing arm 1112, and a swing arm connector 1113. The proximal end of the first swing arm 1111 is hinged to a first position of the drive bracket 1210, thereby forming a first link structure. The proximal end of the second swing arm 1112 is hinged to a second position of the drive bracket 1210, thereby forming a second link structure. The third position of the swing arm connector 1113 is hinged to the distal end of the first swing arm 1111, thereby forming a third link structure. The fourth position of the swing arm connector 1113 is hinged to the distal end of the second swing arm 1112, thereby forming a fourth link structure. The first swing arm 1111 and the second swing arm 1112 may be connected by a connector such as a swing arm pin. The steering component 1120 may be assembled inside the swing arm connector 1113 by one or more guide shafts that serve as guides.

[0075] The drive mechanism 1000 includes a detection component 1300, which may employ a microswitch or other device with contact detection functionality. The detection component 1300 is mounted on the main unit 100. The detection component 1300 can be configured to detect the displacement data of the transmission link 1110. For example, if the main unit 100 is fixed with a microswitch, during the process where the drive device 1220 controls the transmission link 1110 to perform the expected movement, at least one of the first swing arm 1111, the second swing arm 1112, and the swing arm connector 1113 will be lifted. After being lifted a certain distance, at least one of the first swing arm 1111, the second swing arm 1112, and the swing arm connector 1113 can trigger the microswitch, thereby detecting the lifting state of the transmission link 1110 and determining whether the lifting is complete. Furthermore, at least one of the first swing arm 1111, the second swing arm 1112, and the swing arm connector 1113 may be provided with a baffle or other structure for making actual trigger contact with the micro switch.

[0076] The driving device 1220 includes a drive motor 1221, a drive gear 1222, and a drive rack 1223. The drive gear 1222 is located at the output end of the drive motor 1221, and the drive gear 1222 meshes with the drive rack 1223. The drive rack 1223 is configured to drive the contact transmission link 1110. Therefore, see [reference needed]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the drive motor 1221 provides driving force to control the rotation of the drive gear 1222. Since the drive gear 1222 meshes with the drive rack 1223, the rotation of the drive gear 1222 can be used to control the drive rack 1223 along the path shown. Figure 8 The reciprocating motion shown in the up-down direction, when the drive rack 1223 is raised, will push up either the first swing arm 1111 or the second swing arm 1112, thereby realizing the raising action of the swing arm connector 1113 based on the four-bar linkage structure composed of the first swing arm 1111, the second swing arm 1112, and the swing arm connector 1113. Similarly, the drive motor 1221 controls the drive gear 1222 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby controlling the lowering of the swing arm connector 1113, which will not be described in detail here.

[0077] Therefore, the drive rack 1223 is not always connected to the transmission link 1110. Instead, the drive rack 1223 is only connected when it is in driving contact with the transmission link 1110 and transmits force to it. When not in driving contact, they are disconnected. This can be described as a disconnected connection between the transmission link 1110 and the drive motor 1221. Based on this disconnected structure, if the cleaning mechanism 2000 is subjected to a collision, although the entire cleaning mechanism 2000 may passively undergo unexpected movement (such as passive lifting), the reaction force generated by the collision will not be transmitted to the drive motor 1221, thus protecting the drive motor 1221.

[0078] See figure Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2000 may include a mop assembly 2100 and an assembly housing 2200. The mop assembly 2100 includes a mop bracket 2110 and a mop body 2120. The mop body 2120 is movably mounted on the mop bracket 2110, for example, the mop body 2120 can be wound around the mop bracket 2110 in a movable winding manner. A mop motor 2210 is installed inside the assembly housing 2200. The mop motor 2210 is directly or indirectly connected to the mop body 2120 for driving. For example, a speed reduction device 2400 is disposed inside the assembly housing 2200, and the mop motor 2210 can be driven to connect to the mop body 2120 through the speed reduction device 2400. In this case, the mop motor 2210 can be used to drive the mop body 2120 to rotate relative to the mop bracket 2110, thereby achieving the cleaning action on the floor or wall through the rotation of the mop body 2120 on the mop bracket 2110.

[0079] Continue reading Figure 12 or Figure 13 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2000 may further include a stain-removing component 2500, a squeegee component 2600, and a spraying component 2700. The stain-removing component 2500 is disposed in the component housing 2200 and is configured to remove dirt from the surface of the mop body 2120. The stain-removing component 2500 may employ a comb-like structure. The squeegee component 2600 is disposed in the component housing 2200 and is configured to remove wastewater from the surface of the mop body 2120. The squeegee component 2600 may employ a squeegee strip, squeegee plate, or squeegee line structure. The squeegee component 2600 can effectively remove wastewater and other dirt from the surface of the mop body 2120, preventing secondary pollution. The spraying component 2700 is disposed in the component housing 2200 and is configured to spray water onto the surface of the mop body 2120.

[0080] Therefore, when the mop body 2120 is wrapped around the mop holder 2110 and rotates along the mop holder 2110, the cleaning component 2500 can first intercept hair or large particles of debris as the mop body 2120 rotates. Then, when it rotates to the squeegee component 2600, the squeegee component 2600 can further squeeze the mop body 2120, squeezing out the dirty water, thereby achieving the cleaning work of the mop. During this process, the water spraying component 2700 can continuously spray water onto the surface of the mop body 2120 to assist the cleaning action of the cleaning component 2500 and the squeegee action of the squeegee component 2600, improving the cleaning effect.

[0081] The cleaning mechanism 2000 may further include a self-locking component 2300, which includes a self-locking button 2310 and a self-locking latch 2320 respectively disposed on the mop assembly 2100 and the assembly housing 2200. The self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320 are detachably connected. Therefore, the mop assembly 2100 can be self-locked relative to the assembly housing 2200 through the self-locking component 2300, which not only provides convenient and quick disassembly and assembly but also facilitates subsequent replacement and maintenance. The assembly housing 2200 may also have a transmission hole 2201. A final stage transmission component 2220 is assembled inside the assembly housing 2200. The mop motor 2210 is driven and connected to the final stage transmission component 2220 through a reduction device 2400. The reduction device 2400 is driven and connected to the mop body 2120 through the final stage transmission component 2220. The final stage transmission component 2220 is configured to extend and retract relative to the transmission hole 2201 based on the driving force of the mop motor 2210.

[0082] The reduction device 2400 can be a reduction gear set composed of several reduction gears. The number and size of the reduction gears in the reduction gear set can be designed by those skilled in the art according to requirements, and are not limited here. Meanwhile, the telescopic movement of the final stage transmission component 2220 relative to the transmission hole 2201 can be achieved through structural designs such as telescopic structures and threaded structures. For example, the final stage transmission component 2220 can be provided with external threads, and the transmission hole 2201 can be provided with internal threads. The final stage transmission component 2220 and the transmission hole 2201 are threadedly assembled, and the final stage transmission component 2220 telescopically moves relative to the transmission hole 2201 through the external and internal threads.

[0083] For example, in one embodiment, a mop motor 2210 is installed inside the component housing 2200, and the mop motor 2210 transmits driving force to the outside of the component housing 2200 via a reduction gear 2400. This is based on the threaded engagement between the external thread of the final stage transmission member 2220 and the internal thread of the transmission hole 2201. Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, if the mop motor 2210 rotates forward, the final stage transmission member 2220 can be restricted to spirally extending relative to the transmission hole 2201; conversely, if the mop motor 2210 rotates in reverse, the final stage transmission member 2220 can be restricted to spirally retracting relative to the transmission hole 2201.

[0084] At this time, based on the extension and retraction state of the final stage transmission member 2220 relative to the transmission hole 2201, it can form a functional cooperation with the self-locking component 2300. For example, when the main unit 100 is powered off or not working, the final stage transmission member 2220 can be limited to the retracted state, at which time the mop assembly 2100 can be assembled relative to the component housing 2200 based on the self-locking component 2300. When the mop assembly 2100 is assembled relative to the component housing 2200, the final stage transmission member 2220 can be limited to the extended state, so that the mop motor 2210 and the reduction device 2400 are connected to the mop body 2120 through the final stage transmission member 2220 for power drive, and can enter the cleaning operation state.

[0085] Therefore, when disassembling the mop bracket 2110, the main unit 100 needs to be paused or powered off first. At this time, the final stage transmission component 2220 is in a reverse retracted state, and the final stage transmission component 2220 is disconnected from the mop body 2120. The mop assembly 2100 can then be disassembled relative to the component housing 2200 based on the self-locking component 2300. When assembling the mop bracket 2110, the main unit 100 also needs to be paused or powered off first. The final stage transmission component 2220 is in a retracted state, and the mop assembly 2100 can be assembled relative to the component housing 2200 based on the self-locking component 2300. After the main unit 100 is started, the final stage transmission component 2220 extends and is connected to the mop body 2120 by power drive.

[0086] Continue reading Figure 7 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the edge module 200 may further include a lifting mechanism 3000. The lifting mechanism 3000 includes lifting components 3100 and lifting holes 3200 respectively disposed on the drive mechanism 1000 and the cleaning mechanism 2000. The lifting components 3100 and the lifting holes 3200 are detachably connected. For example, the lifting components 3100 may adopt a structure such as lifting sleeves, and several lifting sleeves are assembled on the drive mechanism 1000. The lifting holes 3200 may be disposed on the steering component 1120. The steering component 1120 has several lifting holes 3200 that can match several lifting sleeves. Therefore, the assembly connection between the drive mechanism 1000 and the cleaning mechanism 2000 can be realized by detachably connecting the lifting components 3100 and the lifting holes 3200.

[0087] Continue reading Figures 10 to 13As shown, regarding the aforementioned self-locking component 2300, the self-locking component 2300 includes a self-locking button 2310 and a self-locking latch 2320. The self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320 are respectively disposed on the mop assembly 2100 and the assembly housing 2200. The detachable connection between the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320 can adopt various detachable connection methods such as snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection, and magnetic connection, which are not limited here. For example, in one embodiment, the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320 can be configured to snap together, with the self-locking button 2310 disposed on the assembly housing 2200 and the self-locking latch 2320 disposed on the mop bracket 2110 of the mop assembly 2100.

[0088] The self-locking button 2310 can be configured to have a locked state and a released state. The locked state of the self-locking button 2310 is configured to prevent the release of the snap-fit ​​assembly between the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320. That is, when the self-locking button 2310 is in the locked state, it will lock the snap-fit ​​assembly between the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320, so that after the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320 are assembled together, they can only be in the snap-fit ​​assembly state and cannot be separated from each other. The release state of the self-locking button 2310 is configured to allow the locking assembly between the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320 to be released. That is, when the self-locking button 2310 is in the release state, it allows the free locking assembly between the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320. In this state, the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320 can be assembled with each other and are in a locking assembly state, and they can also be separated from each other to release the locking assembly between the self-locking button 2310 and the self-locking latch 2320.

[0089] See Figure 11 As shown, regarding the aforementioned self-locking button 2310, the self-locking button 2310 may include a button body 2311 and a movable locking member 2312. The button body 2311 has a movable locking cavity with an opening inside. The movable locking cavity has a locking position and a releasing position. The movable locking member 2312 can be movably assembled into the movable locking cavity along the opening, and the movable locking member 2312 can move between the locking position and the releasing position of the movable locking cavity. This movement can be linear movement, curvilinear movement, or other movement modes, mainly depending on the design of the locking position and the releasing position in the movable locking cavity.

[0090] In the above assembly design, when the movable locking member 2312 moves to the locked position, the self-locking button 2310 can be limited to the locked state. When the movable locking member 2312 moves to the released position, the self-locking button 2310 can be limited to the released state. Therefore, in this embodiment, the locked and released states of the self-locking button 2310 can be determined according to the movement position of the movable locking member 2312 in the movable lock cavity. When the movable locking member 2312 moves between the locked and released positions, the switching between the locked and released states of the self-locking button 2310 can be realized.

[0091] The self-locking latch 2320 can be configured to engage with the movable locking element 2312. For example, the self-locking latch 2320 may include a connected latch body 2321 and a latch head 2322. In this case, the latch head 2322 can be configured to engage with the self-locking button 2310.

[0092] Regarding the movement of the movable locking member 2312 between the locked and released positions, it can form a predictable movement according to a predetermined trajectory. For example, a guide rail can be provided within the movable locking cavity of the button body 2311, allowing the movable locking member 2312 to move between the released and locked positions along the guide rail. Furthermore, regarding the switching between the locked and released states of the self-locking button 2310, a state-switching latch provided on the guide rail can be used to position and engage the movable locking member 2312. For example, the movable locking member 2312 can be configured to be positioned and engaged in the locked position via the state-switching latch, thereby locking and positioning the movable locking member 2312 in the locked position and maintaining the locked state of the self-locking button 2310. Similarly, when the movable locking member 2312 is not positioned and engaged in the locked position via the state-switching latch, the movable locking member 2312 can disengage from the locked position, thereby switching the self-locking button 2310 to the released state.

[0093] The movable locking element 2312 can be elastically assembled into the movable locking cavity through elastic structures such as elastic elements and elastic sheets. The elastic assembly allows the movable locking element 2312 to move between the locked position and the released position in an elastic manner, and the movable locking element 2312 can be engaged in the state switching position or disengaged from the state switching position to switch the locked and released states of the self-locking button 2310.

[0094] In one embodiment, the guide rail may include a first rail and a second rail, with the state switching latch positioned between the first and second rails. The guide rail may be configured as a grooved rail or a through-hole rail. The movable locking member 2312 may be provided with a guide protrusion, which allows the movable locking member 2312 to slide along the guide rail of the button body 2311.

[0095] Continue reading Figure 11As shown, the movable locking member 2312 can be configured as a gripper structure, which can close and open. The latching lock head 2322 is configured as a hook structure, and the latching lock head 2322 is snapped into the movable locking member 2312. When the movable locking member 2312 is in the locked position, the gripper structure is closed, and the closed gripper structure can hold the hook structure, thus locking the self-locking button 2310. When the movable locking member 2312 is in the released position, the gripper structure is open, and the open gripper structure can release the hook structure, thus releasing the self-locking button 2310.

[0096] Regarding the closing and opening of the gripper structure, the gripper structure can be defined as actively closing and opening, or it can also be defined as actively closing and opening; no specific limitation is made here. For example, the gripper structure has two or more connected claw bodies. When the movable locking member 2312 enters the movable locking cavity along the cavity opening and moves towards the locked position, the two or more connected claw bodies can come into forceful contact with the cavity opening of the movable locking member 2312. Based on the reaction force applied by the cavity opening, the two or more connected claw bodies can move closer to each other, thereby achieving the closing of the gripper structure. Similarly, when the movable locking member 2312 moves towards the release position, the two or more connected claw bodies can separate from each other, thereby achieving the opening of the gripper structure.

[0097] Continue reading Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the self-locking assembly 2300 may further include a positioning portion 2330 and a positioning cavity 2340 respectively disposed on the mop assembly 2100 and the assembly housing 2200. The positioning portion 2330 and the positioning cavity 2340 are configured for mutual positioning and insertion engagement, and the detachable connection between the mop assembly 2100 and the assembly housing 2200 is achieved through the positioning portion 2330 and the positioning cavity 2340. The positioning portion 2330 of the self-locking assembly 2300 may be located on the mop bracket 2110 of the mop assembly 2100, and the positioning cavity 2340 of the self-locking assembly 2300 may be formed in the assembly housing 2200. The positioning portion 2330 is directly or indirectly connected to the self-locking latch 2320. The positioning portion 2330 may be provided with at least one abutment protrusion 2331, which may be configured to abut against the inner cavity of the positioning cavity 2340. At least a portion of the structure of the positioning part 2330 is configured as a linear protrusion, and at least a portion of the structure of the positioning cavity 2340 is configured as a linear concave cavity, wherein the positioning part 2330 and the positioning cavity 2340 are linearly inserted into each other.

[0098] Meanwhile, the self-locking assembly 2300 may also include a support portion 2350 and a support wall 2360. The support portion 2350 of the self-locking assembly 2300 is located on the mop bracket 2110 of the mop assembly 2100, and the support wall 2360 of the self-locking assembly 2300 is located on the assembly housing 2200. The mop bracket 2110 of the mop assembly 2100 is configured to support the support wall 2360 of the assembly housing 2200 via the support portion 2350. Therefore, when the mop bracket 2110 of the mop assembly 2100 is assembled into the assembly housing 2200, the support portion 2350 can contact the support wall 2360 of the assembly housing 2200, thereby supporting the assembly housing 2200 and improving the stability of the assembly.

[0099] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0100] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
