Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] This embodiment provides a crevice cleaning device to solve the problem in related technologies where sweeping robots have difficulty cleaning crevice areas or areas obscured by furniture.

[0028] For example, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the crevice cleaning device includes a base 100, a moving assembly 200, and a cleaning assembly 300. The base 100 has a moving part 110 for driving its movement; an assembly cavity 120 is formed on the ground-facing side of the base 100, extending horizontally to the edge of the base 100, and has an opening 121 communicating with the outside. The moving assembly 200 includes a horizontal moving part 210 and a vertical moving part 220. The horizontal moving part 210 is installed inside the assembly cavity 120, and the vertical moving part 220 is installed on the horizontal moving part 210. The cleaning assembly 300 includes a main body 310 and a brush body 320. The main body 310 is installed on the vertical moving part 220 and extends towards the opening 121, extending beyond the base 100; the brush body 320 is horizontally mounted around the main body 310.

[0029] Specifically, when using this embodiment, the seat 100 is placed on the work surface, and the moving component 200 can move the seat 100 to clean the surface. For areas obscured by furniture or in crevices, after the seat 100 moves to the vicinity of the crevic to be cleaned, the position of the vertical moving component 220 is adjusted by the horizontal moving component 210, and the position of the cleaning component 300 is adjusted by the vertical moving component 220. After the cleaning component 300 is in a suitable position, the main body 310 and the brush body 320 are inserted into the crevic. The movement of the seat 100 moves the main body 310, thereby allowing the main body 310 and the brush body 320 to work together to clean the area in the crevic.

[0030] Of course, after the main body 310 and the brush body 320 are inserted into the gap, the cleaning component 300 can also be moved in the gap by controlling the moving component 200, that is, by controlling the horizontal moving part 210 and the vertical moving part 220, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 300 in the gap.

[0031] The movable component 200 can be remotely controlled via electronic components such as an electric push rod, position sensor, and transmission module, making this embodiment easier to use and providing better cleaning results. The movable component 200 can also be entirely manually adjusted by the operator, achieving the same cleaning effect on crevices.

[0032] In this embodiment, the seat 100 includes all the structures found in any existing robotic vacuum cleaner, to ensure that the seat 100 can function properly.

[0033] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the brush body 320 includes a drive belt 321 and bristles 322, with the bristles 322 evenly distributed on the side of the drive belt 321 away from the main body 310. A groove is formed at the edge of the main body 310, and the drive belt 321 is slidably installed within the groove. The evenly distributed bristles 322 ensure more uniform cleaning force on the inside of crevices, reducing blind spots. The slidable installation of the drive belt 321 within the groove allows the brush body 320 to rotate relative to the main body 310 during use, thereby ensuring stable contact of the bristles 322 with the ground, wall, or bottom of crevices, enhancing the cleaning effect and improving the ability to remove dust, debris, and other impurities in this embodiment.

[0034] The groove also allows the drive belt 321 to be embedded inside the edge of the main body 310, making the overall structure more compact and facilitating the brush body 320 to reach into narrow gaps for cleaning, such as corners and under furniture. It also avoids the jamming problem caused by the outward protrusion of the brush body 320, improving the passability of the cleaning component 300.

[0035] In one embodiment, for example, the cleaning assembly 300 includes a cavity 330, within which a power element is disposed for driving a drive belt 321 to slide along a groove. By driving the drive belt 321 with the power element, the bristles 322 not only clean dust and debris by relying on the movement of the seat 100, but also actively rotate, thereby more effectively removing stubborn stains. The power-driven drive belt 321 enables the bristles 322 to make wider surface contact, increasing the coverage area of ​​a single cleaning pass.

[0036] For crevices that are difficult to access even with the cleaning component 300, the power-driven brush 320 can better clean deeper and narrower spaces, improving the adaptability of this embodiment to complex environments.

[0037] It is understood that in this embodiment, the power component can be any existing structure or equipment as needed. For example, a micro DC motor, a vibration motor, etc., as long as it can drive the transmission belt 321 to rotate.

[0038] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 3 As shown, a transmission component 340 is also provided within the cavity 330. The transmission component 340 is rotatably mounted on the main body 310, and the output end of the power component is connected to the transmission component 340 to drive the transmission component 340 to rotate. A transmission groove communicating with the recess is formed on the cavity 330. At least a portion of the transmission component 340 extends into the transmission groove and abuts against the side of the transmission belt 321 away from the bristles 322. The transmission component 340 directly contacts and drives the transmission belt 321, ensuring efficient power transmission from the power component to the brush body 320 and reducing energy loss. Furthermore, due to the physical contact between the transmission component 340 and the transmission belt 321, a more stable transmission effect is guaranteed, avoiding slippage and other problems.

[0039] Integrating the power and transmission components 340 within the cavity 330 not only saves space but also makes the entire cleaning assembly 300 more compact and robust. This design also helps protect the transmission components from external dust and debris, extending their service life.

[0040] In this embodiment, the transmission component 340 can be configured as any transmission structure or part according to actual conditions. For example, the transmission component 340 can be configured as a gear, with teeth evenly distributed on the inner side of the transmission belt 321 to mesh with the gear, ensuring that the transmission component 340 can stably and reliably drive the transmission belt 321. Alternatively, the transmission component 340 can also be configured as a friction wheel, which abuts against the inner side of the transmission belt 321, driving the transmission belt 321 to rotate by friction. While the transmission process may not be very precise, this interaction between the friction wheel and the transmission belt 321 ensures that the jamming will not affect the driving component when the transmission belt 321 becomes stuck or difficult to rotate, thus improving the safety of this embodiment.

[0041] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal moving part 210 includes a fixing plate, which is disposed within the assembly cavity 120 on the side away from the ground and extends towards the opening 121. A moving groove is formed on the fixing plate along its extending direction, and the vertical moving part 220 is slidably mounted within the moving groove. The moving groove on the fixing plate provides a precise guide path for the vertical moving part 220, ensuring smoother and more accurate horizontal movement and improving the positional control accuracy of the entire cleaning assembly 300. As part of the horizontal moving part 210, the fixing plate is firmly disposed within the assembly cavity 120 on the side away from the ground and extends towards the opening 121, providing a stable support base for the vertical moving part 220 and enhancing the rigidity of the entire device, reducing shaking or offset during operation.

[0042] It should be noted that the vertical moving part 220 slides along the moving groove on the fixed plate. Depending on the actual situation, a drive unit can be provided on the fixed plate to automatically drive the vertical moving part 220 to slide along the moving groove, improving the automation level of this embodiment. Alternatively, the vertical moving part 220 can be interference-fitted with the moving groove, allowing the operator to manually adjust it when movement is needed. After adjustment to a suitable position, the vertical moving part 220 is restricted to its current position until the next adjustment.

[0043] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the vertical moving part 220 includes a push rod, the fixed end of which is installed in a moving groove, and the cleaning component 300 is installed on the movable end of the push rod. The height of the cleaning component 300 can be precisely adjusted by the extension and retraction of the push rod. This allows this embodiment to adapt to gaps of different heights or uneven surfaces, ensuring that the brush body 320 contacts the cleaning surface with optimal pressure. The push rod drives the cleaning component 300 to move up and down as needed, enabling the device to more flexibly handle various complex cleaning environments, such as uneven floors and hard-to-reach places like under furniture.

[0044] Of course, the push rod can be driven electrically or hydraulically, and combined with the control system, it can automatically adjust and complete cleaning tasks in complex environments without manual intervention, greatly improving the user experience and operational efficiency.

[0045] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 3 As shown, a connecting part 350 is provided near the end of the cleaning component 300, and the movable end of the push rod is connected to the connecting part 350. By providing the connecting part 350 at the end of the cleaning component 300, especially near the end of the transmission structure, more effective support and traction can be achieved for the cleaning component 300.

[0046] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the end of the assembly cavity 120 furthest from the opening 121 is configured as an arc-shaped cleaning position 122. A scraper is provided on the cleaning position 122 to remove impurities adhering to the brush body 320. When the bristles 322 need cleaning, the base 100 moves to a suitable position, and the cleaning component 300 is moved to the appropriate position via the moving component 200, causing the bristles 322 to abut against the scraper. Then, the power component drives the bristles 322 to rotate. As the brush body 320 passes through the arc-shaped cleaning position 122, the scraper automatically removes dust, hair, and other impurities from the bristles 322 without manual intervention. This allows the brush body 320 to remain relatively clean, thus maintaining high cleaning efficiency and preventing the cleaning effect from being affected by impurities entangled in the bristles 322.

[0047] Since some impurities can be automatically scraped off during operation, the need for operators to manually clean the brush body 320 is reduced, thus lowering the daily maintenance costs and time investment of the equipment. Operators do not need to frequently disassemble the cleaning component 300 to clean the brush body 320, which also improves the ease of use and user satisfaction of this embodiment.

[0048] The cleaning position 122 is designed in an arc shape to prevent sharp objects from contacting the cleaning component 300 and ensuring that the cleaning component 300 is not damaged. Of course, the specific shape of the cleaning position 122 can also correspond to the shape of the cleaning component 300. In this embodiment, the ends of the bristles 322 and the transmission belt 321 are set in an arc shape, so the cleaning position 122 is also set in an arc shape accordingly.

[0049] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the bristles 322 on the brush body 320 are all bent in the same direction. Scraping plates are evenly distributed on the scraping member, and these plates are inclined, with their orientation opposite to that of the bristles 322. Because the orientation of the scraping plates is opposite to the bending direction of the bristles 322, when the brush body 320 passes over the scraping member, the scraping plates can effectively "oppose" the direction of the bristles 322, forcefully scraping off impurities attached to the bristles 322. This allows for a more thorough removal of dust, hair, and other debris from the bristles 322 in this embodiment.

[0050] The reverse-oriented scraper helps to break and remove long fibers such as hair and lint that may get tangled on the bristles 322, thereby reducing the possibility of the bristles 322 getting tangled with foreign objects and avoiding reduced cleaning efficiency or equipment failure caused by tangling.

[0051] In one embodiment, exemplarily, such as Figure 1 As shown, the moving part 110 includes rollers, with at least three rollers disposed on the base 100; at least two rollers are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the assembly cavity 120. The configuration of multiple rollers, particularly their symmetrical distribution on both sides of the assembly cavity 120, helps to distribute the weight of the base 100 and the load during operation, ensuring stable movement of the equipment on various ground types. The symmetrical arrangement of rollers on both sides increases lateral stability and reduces the risk of the base 100 tipping over when turning or traveling on uneven ground.

[0052] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
