Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning technology, and more specifically, to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, household cleaning equipment such as robot vacuums, floor scrubbers, and robot vacuums / mops are becoming increasingly popular, reducing the burden of housework for humans.

[0003] Existing cleaning equipment performs poorly in low-ceilinged areas (especially those less than 20mm high) and along right-angled walls. Due to space limitations in low-ceilinged areas, ordinary cleaning equipment, due to its structural limitations, cannot easily reach into narrow spaces less than 20mm high, leading to the long-term accumulation of dust and dirt, affecting the overall hygiene of the home environment. Furthermore, the cleaning components of existing equipment (such as side brushes and roller brushes) cannot fully conform to the corners of right-angled walls, creating cleaning dead zones. These dead zones easily accumulate dust, hair, and stains, not only affecting aesthetics but also potentially breeding bacteria, posing a potential threat to human health. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cleaning device that at least solves the problem of poor cleaning effect of existing cleaning devices on low-ceilinged areas and right-angled walls.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a cleaning device is provided, comprising:

[0006] The fuselage has a receiving groove on its outer side;

[0007] The cleaning assembly includes a first cleaning component disposed on the outer periphery of the body. The first cleaning component has a first position where it descends and rotates along the height direction of the body to protrude from the outer edge of the body. The first cleaning component also has a second position where it rises and rotates along the height direction of the body to be received in the receiving groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the first cleaning component includes:

[0009] A support frame, which can descend and swing along the height of the fuselage, or rise and swing.

[0010] A cleaning component is disposed around the outer periphery of the support frame and is rotatable along the outer periphery of the support frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the support frame includes a support body, an active rotating shaft, and a driven rotating shaft. The active rotating shaft and the driven rotating shaft are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the support body, and the axes of the active rotating shaft and the driven rotating shaft are parallel to the surface to be cleaned, so as to at least drive the cleaning component to rotate along the outer periphery of the support frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes a flexible track, which has a ring-shaped structure and is fitted onto the outer periphery of the support frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the first cleaning component also includes:

[0014] A lifting drive mechanism is disposed between the first cleaning component and the machine body to drive the first cleaning component to adhere to the machine body and move up and down along the height direction of the machine body;

[0015] A swing drive mechanism is disposed between the first cleaning component and the machine body to drive the first cleaning component to swing.

[0016] Furthermore, the first cleaning component includes a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other, the lifting drive mechanism is disposed between the first side and the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the swing drive mechanism is disposed between the second side and the inner wall of the receiving groove.

[0017] Furthermore, when the first cleaning component is in the second position, the active rotating shaft is located at the top of the support frame, and the lifting drive mechanism includes:

[0018] A first driving member is connected to the active rotating shaft to drive the active rotating shaft to rotate, and to drive the driven rotating shaft and the cleaning member to rotate synchronously.

[0019] A rack, wherein the rack is disposed within the receiving groove and extends along the height direction of the fuselage;

[0020] A gear, which is fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft and meshes with the rack.

[0021] Furthermore, the swing drive mechanism includes a connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the machine body, and the other end of which is connected to the support frame;

[0022] When the first cleaning component descends along the height direction of the machine body, the connecting rod causes the first cleaning component to swing so as to protrude from the outer edge of the machine body; when the first cleaning component rises along the height direction of the machine body, the connecting rod causes the first cleaning component to swing so as to be received in the receiving groove.

[0023] Furthermore, the swing drive mechanism also includes a second drive member, which is disposed on the machine body and connected to the connecting rod. The second drive member drives the connecting rod to extend and retract, so as to move the first cleaning component from the first position to the second position while it is against the machine body.

[0024] Furthermore, the cleaning device also includes a forward wheel assembly. In the projection of the body in the height direction, the rotation axis of the forward wheel assembly is perpendicular to the forward direction of the body, and the first cleaning component is disposed at the position where the rotation axis intersects with the outer edge of the body.

[0025] In this invention, by providing a receiving groove and a first cleaning component on the outside of the machine body, the first cleaning component extends from the receiving groove against the machine body and descends along the height direction of the machine body, then swings and protrudes from the outer edge of the machine body to clean low areas or right-angled walls, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment on the ground; when the first cleaning component finishes working, it rises along the height direction of the machine body and swings to be housed in the receiving groove, which can extend the service life of the first cleaning component and the cleaning equipment.

[0042] As mentioned in the background section, cleaning equipment is ineffective at cleaning low-ceilinged areas (especially those less than 20mm in height) and right-angled walls. Due to the limited space in low-ceilinged areas, ordinary cleaning equipment, due to its structural limitations, cannot easily reach into narrow spaces less than 20mm high, leading to the long-term accumulation of dust and dirt, affecting the overall hygiene of the home environment. Furthermore, the cleaning components of existing cleaning equipment (such as side brushes and roller brushes) cannot fully conform to the corners of right-angled walls, creating cleaning dead zones. These dead zones easily accumulate dust, hair, and stains, not only affecting aesthetics but also potentially breeding bacteria, posing a potential threat to human health. Therefore, this application provides a cleaning device that solves the problem of poor cleaning effectiveness of existing cleaning equipment in low-ceilinged areas and right-angled walls. The cleaning device of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this application provides a cleaning device, which includes a body 10 and a cleaning component 20.

[0044] Specifically, a receiving groove 11 is provided on the outer side of the body 10; the cleaning component 20 includes a first cleaning component 22, which is disposed on the outer periphery of the body 10. The first cleaning component 22 has a first position that descends and swings along the height direction of the body 10 and protrudes from the outer edge of the body 10, and the first cleaning component 22 also has a second position that rises and swings along the height direction of the body 10 and is received in the receiving groove 11.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 20 of the cleaning equipment includes a first cleaning component 22. A receiving groove 11 is provided on the outer side of the body 10 of the cleaning equipment. The first cleaning component 22 is disposed on the outer periphery of the body 10, and the first cleaning component 22 has a first position that descends along the height direction of the body 10 and swivels to protrude from the outer edge of the body 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), the first cleaning component 22 also has a second position (as shown) that rises and swings along the height direction of the body 10 and is received in the receiving slot 11. Figure 1 (As shown). In actual operation, when the cleaning equipment detects a low area or a right-angled wall in front of it, the first cleaning component 22 is controlled to descend from the second position along the height direction of the body 10 and rotate to protrude from the outer edge of the body 10, switching to the first position to begin cleaning the low area or right-angled wall. This improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment on the floor. After cleaning, the first cleaning component 22 is controlled to rise from the first position along the height direction of the body 10 and rotate to be housed in the receiving slot 11, thus switching to the second position. Housed in the receiving slot 11, the body 10 becomes more organized, reducing the space occupied by the cleaning equipment and facilitating storage and refurbishment. Furthermore, the receiving slot 11 prevents the first cleaning component 22 from being bumped or damaged when not in use, extending the service life of the cleaning equipment.

[0046] In other words, this application improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment on the ground by providing a receiving groove 11 and a first cleaning component 22 on the outside of the body 10. The first cleaning component 22 is attached to the body 10 from the receiving groove 11 and descends along the height direction of the body 10 and swings to protrude from the outer edge of the body 10 to clean low areas or right-angle walls. When the first cleaning component 22 finishes working, it rises along the height direction of the body 10 and swings to be received in the receiving groove 11, which can extend the service life of the first cleaning component 22 and the cleaning equipment.

[0047] Furthermore, the cleaning component 20 also includes a second cleaning component 21, which is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the body 10 and is used to clean the debris on the surface to be cleaned (the floor or countertop where the cleaning equipment is located), so that the floor is clean and tidy. Exemplarily, the second cleaning component 21 in this embodiment includes a circular mop, roller, or side sweeper, etc., and is not specifically limited in this application.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first cleaning component 22 includes a support frame 221 and a cleaning element 222. The support frame 221 can descend and rotate along the height of the machine body 10, or rise and rotate. This arrangement allows the cleaning element 222 to reach different positions along with the support frame 221. When the support frame 221 descends and rotates to protrude beyond the outer edge of the machine body 10, the cleaning element 222 can clean hard-to-reach areas such as corners, furniture edges, low areas, and right-angled wall edges. When the support frame 221 rises and rotates to be housed within the receiving slot 11, it does not affect other functions of the cleaning equipment. The cleaning element 222 is arranged around the outer periphery of the support frame 221 and can rotate along the outer periphery, increasing the friction and contact frequency between the cleaning element 222 and the ground, thus enhancing the scrubbing effect. Furthermore, the rotating cleaning element 222 makes the entire cleaning process more uniform and its wear distribution more even, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning element 222.

[0049] Furthermore, the support frame 221 includes a support body 2212, an active rotating shaft 2211, and a driven rotating shaft (not shown in the figure). The support body 2212 can be a support plate, a support block, or a support structure formed by connecting several rigid support rods; no specific limitation is made in this application. In actual use, the support body 2212 provides stable support for the cleaning component 222, ensuring that the first cleaning component 22 has sufficient structural strength when it descends or rises. During operation, the support body 2212 ensures that the cleaning component 222 maintains its correct position and shape, improving the cleaning effect. The active rotating shaft 2211 and the driven rotating shaft are respectively located at opposite ends of the support body 2212, and the axes of both are parallel to the surface to be cleaned (the ground or countertop where the cleaning equipment is located) to at least drive the cleaning component 222 to rotate around the outer periphery of the support frame 221. This arrangement allows the cleaning component 222 to rotate smoothly and efficiently around the outer periphery of the support frame 221. The active rotating shaft 2211 can be connected to a power source to drive the cleaning component 222 to rotate, while the driven rotating shaft provides auxiliary support and guidance, making the rotation of the cleaning component 222 smoother, reducing jamming and resistance during its movement, and improving cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the active and driven rotating shafts are located at both ends of the support body 2212. When the cleaning component 222 contacts the surface to be cleaned, they can evenly distribute pressure along the entire length of the cleaning component 222, thereby improving overall cleaning quality.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 222 includes a flexible track, which has a ring-shaped structure and is fitted onto the outer periphery of the support frame 221. The flexible track in this embodiment can be made of cotton, fiber, sponge, or non-woven fabric, etc. By setting the cleaning component 222 as a flexible track, it can adaptively adjust to different cleaning scenarios and floor shapes during use. The flexible track can easily conform to uneven, curved, or cornered surfaces, such as corners of walls and under furniture. Compared to rigid cleaning components, it can more comprehensively cover the cleaning area, reduce cleaning blind spots, and improve cleaning effectiveness. The flexible track has a ring-shaped structure and is fitted around the outer periphery of the support frame 221. When the drive shaft 2211 rotates, it can drive the flexible track to rotate along the outer periphery of the support body 2212, so that the flexible track can perform wiping, dragging and other actions on the surface to be cleaned. This not only increases the cleaning area of ​​the cleaning component 222, but also improves the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning component 222 and reduces cleaning time and workload. The ring-shaped flexible track can also buffer and reduce shock, reduce the impact of the external environment on the body 10 of the cleaning equipment, reduce the risk of damage to the cleaning equipment, and at the same time make the cleaning process more stable and reduce noise.

[0051] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first cleaning component 22 also includes a lifting drive mechanism and a swing drive mechanism.

[0052] The lifting drive mechanism is located between the first cleaning component 22 and the main body 10. It drives the first cleaning component 22 to move up and down against the main body 10 along its height. This mechanism allows the first cleaning component 22 to adapt to different cleaning scenarios, adjusting the contact pressure between the first cleaning component 22 and the ground according to the type of surface to be cleaned. In this embodiment, the lifting and lowering of the first cleaning component 22 against the main body 10 means that during its ascent or descent, the end of the first cleaning component 22 closest to the top of the main body 10 remains in contact with the edge of the main body 10. Specifically, when the first cleaning component 22 protrudes beyond the edge of the main body 10, its top end descends along the edge, while its bottom end moves from the inside to the outside of the main body 10 and protrudes beyond its outer edge. This design prevents the top of the first cleaning component 22 from tipping over and interfering with or rubbing against furniture, thus improving the reliability of the cleaning equipment.

[0053] A swing drive mechanism is positioned between the first cleaning component 22 and the machine body 10 to drive the first cleaning component 22 to swing. This swing drive mechanism allows the first cleaning component 22 to conform to the ground at different angles, better adapting to various ground shapes and slopes, ensuring a uniform cleaning effect. During the descent or ascent of the first cleaning component 22, this swing drive mechanism not only acts as a guide but also enhances the structural stability of the first cleaning component 22, improving its operational stability and extending its service life.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first cleaning component 22 includes a first side 40 and a second side 41 disposed opposite to each other. A lifting drive mechanism is disposed between the first side 40 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11, and a swing drive mechanism is disposed between the second side 41 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11. By distributing the lifting drive mechanism and the swing drive mechanism between opposite sides of the first cleaning component 22 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 11, independent and precise motion control can be achieved, and there will be no motion interference between them. This arrangement also balances force and stabilizes movement, making the force on the first cleaning component 22 more uniform during movement. During lifting, the force provided by the lifting drive mechanism on the first side 40 of the first cleaning component 22 is evenly distributed on one side of the first cleaning component 22. During swinging, the force applied by the swing drive mechanism on the second side 41 of the first cleaning component 22 is also evenly applied to the other side of the first cleaning component 22, preventing the first cleaning component 22 from tilting, swaying, or twisting due to uneven force, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the movement of the first cleaning component 22. Furthermore, this arrangement also optimizes the space utilization and structural compactness of the cleaning equipment.

[0055] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism includes a first drive component (not shown in the figure), a rack 224, and a gear 223. When the first cleaning component 22 is in the second position, the active shaft 2211 is located at the top of the support frame 221. The first drive component is connected to the active shaft 2211 to drive its rotation, which in turn drives the driven shaft and the cleaning component 222 to rotate synchronously. The rack 224 is disposed within the receiving groove 11 and extends along the height direction of the machine body 10. The gear 223 is fixedly sleeved on the active shaft 2211 and meshes with the rack 224. This arrangement, with the rack 224 disposed within the receiving groove 11 and the gear 223 fixedly sleeved on the active shaft 2211, makes the layout of the entire lifting drive mechanism more compact and effectively utilizes the internal space of the cleaning equipment. Furthermore, the first driving component drives the active rotating shaft 2211 to rotate, and through the meshing transmission of gear 223 and rack 224, the rotational motion of the active rotating shaft 2211 is converted into the lifting motion of the first cleaning component 22 along the height direction of the machine body 10. This transmission method has high transmission efficiency and can accurately realize the lifting action of the first cleaning component 22. Moreover, the meshing transmission of gear 223 and rack 224 has high precision and reliability, which can ensure the stability and accuracy of the first cleaning component 22 during the lifting process and reduce shaking and deviation. The first driving component can both drive the active rotating shaft 2211 to drive the cleaning component 222 to rotate for cleaning work, and realize the lifting function of the first cleaning component 222 through the gear 223 and rack 224 mechanism. It realizes the integration of multiple functions by one driving component, simplifies the drive system of the cleaning equipment, and reduces costs and failure rates. In addition, the structure of gear 223 and rack 224 is relatively simple, easy to manufacture and install, and easy to maintain and replace in case of failure. For example, the first driving component in this embodiment includes a drive structure such as a drive motor.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the rack 224 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 11, so that the rack 224 meshes with the gear 223, and the first driving member drives the active rotating shaft 2211 to rotate, thereby driving the gear 223 to move relative to the rack 224. This allows the top of the first cleaning component 22 to be in contact with the body 10 for lifting and lowering, preventing the top of the first cleaning component 22 from flipping over and extending the service life of the first cleaning component 22.

[0057] like Figure 2As shown, the swing drive mechanism includes a connecting rod 225, one end of which is connected to the machine body 10, and the other end of which is connected to the first cleaning component 22. In this embodiment, one end of the connecting rod 225 can be fixedly connected to the machine body 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 225 can be fixedly connected to the first cleaning component 22, specifically connected to the support frame 221. When the first cleaning component 22 descends along the height direction of the machine body 10, it is stopped by the surface to be cleaned and works in conjunction with the connecting rod 225 to cause the first cleaning component 22 to swing (specifically, to move the bottom end of the first cleaning component 22 from the inside to the outside of the machine body 10) so that it protrudes from the outer edge of the machine body 10. This allows for flexible adjustment of the cleaning range and improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment. In addition, the connecting rod 225 can also serve as a guide and enhance the structural stability of the first cleaning component 22 when it descends to the first position. When the first cleaning component 22 rises along the height direction of the body 10, the connecting rod 225 drives the first cleaning component 22 to rotate and be housed in the receiving slot 11. After the first cleaning component 22 completes the cleaning work, it can be cleverly stored inside the body 10 as it rises along the height direction of the body 10, maintaining the overall compactness and aesthetics of the body 10, and also facilitating the storage and transportation of the cleaning equipment.

[0058] For example, the connecting rod 225 in this embodiment can be one, two, or more. This application does not specifically limit the number of rods. Any other deformable structure (such as a pull rope) that can cause the first cleaning component 22 to swing during its lifting and lowering process is within the protection scope of this application. Figure 2 The diagram shows the case where link 225 is a single link.

[0059] Furthermore, the swing drive mechanism also includes a second drive member (not shown in the figure). The second drive member is disposed on the body 10 and connected to the connecting rod 225. The second drive member drives the connecting rod 225 to extend and retract, thereby causing the first cleaning component 22 to move from the first position to the second position against the body 10. Exemplarily, the second drive member in this embodiment can be a drive motor or a drive cylinder, etc. In some embodiments of this application, one end of the connecting rod 225 is rotatably connected to the support frame 221, and a groove extending along the height direction of the body 10 is provided on the body 10. A slider that can slide along the length direction of the groove is provided in the groove. The slider is driven by the second drive member (not shown in the figure), and the other end of the connecting rod 225 is rotatably connected to the slider. With this configuration, when the second drive member drives the slider to slide along the length direction of the groove, it can drive the connecting rod 225 to move, thereby causing the first cleaning component 22 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0060] Specifically, when the first cleaning component 22 needs to be switched to the second position, the second driving member drives the slider to move towards the top of the body 10. During this process, the side of the first cleaning component 22 with the gear 223 rises relative to the rack 224 against the body 10 in the height direction, while the connecting rod 225 drives the first cleaning component 22 to rotate and be housed in the receiving groove 11. When the first cleaning component 22 needs to be switched to the first position, the second driving member drives the slider to move towards the bottom of the body 10. During this process, the side of the first cleaning component 22 with the gear 223 falls relative to the rack 224 against the body 10 in the height direction. When the bottom of the first cleaning component 22 descends to contact the surface to be cleaned, it can be rotated and protrude from the outer edge of the body 10 due to the stopping action of the connecting rod 225 and the surface to be cleaned. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the second driving member may not be provided, and the first driving member described above can be used to drive the first cleaning component 22 to switch between the first and second positions.

[0061] In other words, in actual design, this application can employ two recovery methods when the first cleaning component 22 changes from the first position to the second position: First, without a second driving component, the first driving component drives the active rotating shaft 2211 to rotate, causing the gear 223 and rack 224 to mesh and achieve upward movement. In this case, the main function of the connecting rod 225 is guidance and enhancing structural stability. Second, a second driving component is used to independently drive the connecting rod 225 to achieve extension and retraction. The gear 223 and rack 224 mesh to allow the first cleaning component 22 to rise and swing along the height direction of the body 10 and be housed in the receiving slot 11. The second driving component allows for precise control of the position change of the first cleaning component 22, improves the automation level of the equipment, enhances the cleaning effect, and protects the body 10 and the first cleaning component 22 from damage.

[0062] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the cleaning equipment also includes a forward wheel assembly 30. Within the projection of the body 10 in the height direction, the rotation axis of the forward wheel assembly 30 (i.e., Figure 10 The dotted line in the diagram is perpendicular to the forward direction of the body 10, and the first cleaning component 22 is positioned at the intersection of the rotation axis and the outer edge of the body 10. This arrangement ensures that the first cleaning component 22 can clean walls or low areas along a path perpendicular to the forward direction, and also ensures that the first cleaning component 22 can cover the edge areas on both sides of the body 10 as it moves forward, effectively avoiding cleaning blind spots and improving the comprehensiveness of cleaning.

[0063] When the first cleaning component 22 is located at the intersection of the rotation axis and the outer edge of the machine body 10, it can clean the ground with a more reasonable movement trajectory during the movement of the machine body 10. Compared to other locations, the first cleaning component 22 covers a larger cleaning area per unit time, reducing the number of times and the time required for the machine body 10 to move, thereby improving overall cleaning efficiency. Positioning the first cleaning component 22 at the intersection of the rotation axis and the outer edge of the machine body 10 allows the forward wheel assembly 30 to provide cushioning and protection when the first cleaning component 22 encounters obstacles or is subjected to external impact, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0064] The rotation axis of the forward wheel assembly 30 is perpendicular to the forward direction of the machine body 10, and the first cleaning component 22 is positioned in a specific location, which helps to balance the forces acting on the machine body 10 during the cleaning process. When the first cleaning component 22 is working, the force it generates is connected to the machine body 10 through the rotation axis, making the center of gravity distribution of the machine body more reasonable, reducing the shaking or shifting of the machine body 10 caused by the operation of the first cleaning component 22, and improving the stability of the equipment during the cleaning process.

[0065] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the cleaning equipment of this application can achieve at least the following technical effects:

[0066] (1) This application provides a receiving groove on the outer side of the cleaning equipment body and a first cleaning component on the outer periphery of the body. The first cleaning component has a first position that protrudes from the outer edge of the body body by descending and swinging along the height direction of the body body, and a second position that rises and swings along the height direction of the body body and is received in the receiving groove. The first cleaning component can solve the cleaning problem of right-angled walls, and the first cleaning component can also extend to low areas, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0067] (2) By setting the first cleaning component at the intersection of the rotation axis of the forward wheel assembly and the forward direction of the machine body, this application increases the cleaning area of ​​the first cleaning component and improves the cleaning effect of the first cleaning component on right-angle walls or low areas.

[0068] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0069] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0070] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
