Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water surface cleaning equipment, and relates to a storage structure for a water surface cleaning robot. Background Technology

[0002] A water surface cleaning robot is a cleaning device that automatically collects floating debris on the water surface. The robot is propelled by a motor-driven impeller, moving across the water's surface. It has a built-in collection basket that collects debris as it moves, and the basket is removed and emptied after cleaning. However, most existing collection baskets lack a locking mechanism; they simply use protrusions to hold them in place, making them prone to detachment or falling off. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a storage structure for a water surface cleaning robot that can quickly locate and lock the storage basket, facilitating installation and cleaning.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A storage structure for a water surface cleaning robot includes a base and a storage basket inserted into the base. The base has limiting plates on both sides, and the storage basket is located between the two limiting plates. The limiting plates have a first track groove and a second track groove on their inner sides. The storage basket has two side plates and a hollow front baffle. The two side plates have a slider and a sliding shaft on their outer sides. The slider can be embedded in the first track groove and slide along the first track groove. The sliding shaft can be embedded in the second track groove and slide along the second track groove. The first track groove has a first positioning groove. The lower end of the slider has a positioning point that engages in the first positioning groove. The second track groove has a second positioning groove. When the positioning point engages in the first positioning groove, the sliding shaft just falls into the second positioning groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the sliding shaft and the slider are arranged one in front of the other and are not at the same height.

[0006] Furthermore, the slider has a U-shaped hole, and an elastic mechanism is provided inside the U-shaped hole, with the positioning point located at the other end of the elastic mechanism.

[0007] When the storage basket needs to be inserted into the base, first insert the slider into the first track groove, push the storage basket inward so that the slider slides inward along the first track groove, and then insert the sliding shaft into the second track groove. When the storage basket slides into the deepest part, the positioning point is engaged in the first positioning groove and the sliding shaft is engaged in the second positioning groove, so that the storage basket is precisely positioned with the base and will not easily detach from the base when not subjected to external force.

[0008] Furthermore, the front end of the limiting plate has an outwardly inclined water guide plate. The water guide plate is used to gather debris from both sides in front of the water surface cleaning robot to the front of the storage basket, making it easier for the debris to enter the storage basket.

[0009] Furthermore, the front baffle is equipped with a switch assembly for locking the storage basket to the base. The switch assembly includes a knob rotatably connected to the front baffle and two movable pins. The limiting plate has a locking hole for the movable pins to be inserted. The front baffle has movable holes on both sides for the outer ends of the movable pins to pass through. The inner end of the movable pin is eccentrically hinged to the knob, and rotating the knob can insert the movable pin into the locking hole of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the knob is cylindrical, with a movable groove on its side for the movable pin to move, and two hinge shafts arranged symmetrically at 180° on the knob, with the inner end of the movable pin sleeved on the hinge shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the front baffle has several supporting vertical plates, each with an elongated limiting groove, and the movable pin is located within the limiting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the knob has an unlocking groove and a locking groove on its side, and the front baffle has a protrusion that engages with the unlocking groove or the locking groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the storage basket has an opening at the top and a hinged lid. The lid can be rotated upwards to remove items from the basket.

[0014] During cleaning, the water surface cleaning robot collects debris into a storage basket. Turning the knob retracts the movable pins into the front panel or extends them to either side. The base has locking holes for these pins; inserting the pins into these holes engages the locking grooves, preventing further rotation of the knob and locking the basket to the base. The basket will not easily detach, allowing the robot to operate. To clean the basket, turn the knob to engage the locking grooves, retracting the two movable pins into the front panel. The basket can then be pulled out from the base. Rotating the top cover allows you to remove the debris, clean the basket, and return it to the base for future use.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the storage structure of this water surface cleaning robot has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. After the storage basket is inserted into the base, it is automatically positioned by the positioning point and then falls into the positioning slot two by the sliding shaft for double positioning.

[0017] 2. The sliding shaft and slider also serve to support the collection basket. After collecting the garbage on the water surface, the entire water surface cleaning robot can be lifted from the water surface, and the collection basket can be moved along with the heavier debris.

[0018] 3. The switch assembly uses a knob-driven movable pin structure. A gentle rotation of the knob can unlock or lock the storage basket. The structure is simple, sturdy, and waterproof.

[0019] 4. The switch assembly occupies little space, is hidden inside the front panel, is not affected by external objects, and is durable. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the storage structure of this water surface cleaning robot includes a base 1 and a storage basket 2 inserted into the base 1. The base 1 has limiting plates 11 on both sides, and the storage basket 2 is located between the two limiting plates 11. The inner side of the limiting plates 11 has a first track groove 12 and a second track groove 13. The storage basket 2 has two side plates 21 and a hollow front baffle 22. The outer side of the two side plates 21 has a slider 23 and a sliding shaft 24. The slider 23 can be embedded in the first track groove 12 and slide along the first track groove 12. The sliding shaft 24 can be embedded in the second track groove 13 and slide along the second track groove 13. The first track groove 12 has a positioning groove 14. The lower end of the slider 23 has a positioning point 231 that can be inserted into the positioning groove 14. The second track groove 13 has a positioning groove 25. When the positioning point 231 is inserted into the positioning groove 14, the sliding shaft 24 falls into the positioning groove 25.

[0029] The sliding shaft 24 and the slider 23 are arranged one in front of the other and not at the same height. The slider 23 has a U-shaped hole, and an elastic mechanism 232 is provided in the U-shaped hole. The positioning point 231 is located at the other end of the elastic mechanism 232.

[0030] When the storage basket 2 needs to be inserted into the base 1, first insert the slider 23 into the first track groove 12, push the storage basket 2 inward, and let the slider 23 slide inward along the first track groove 12. Then insert the sliding shaft 24 into the second track groove 13. When the storage basket 2 slides into the deepest part, the positioning point 231 is engaged in the first positioning groove 14, and the sliding shaft 24 is engaged in the second positioning groove 15, so that the storage basket 2 and the base 1 are accurately positioned and will not easily detach from the base 1 when not subjected to external force.

[0031] The limiting plate 11 has an outwardly inclined water guide plate 17 at its front end. The water guide plate 17 is used to gather debris from both sides in front of the water surface cleaning robot to the front of the storage basket 2, so that the debris can enter the storage basket 2.

[0032] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the front baffle 22 is provided with a switch assembly 3 for locking the storage basket 2 and the base 1. The switch assembly 3 includes a knob 31 rotatably connected to the front baffle 22 and two movable pins 32. The limiting plate 11 has a locking hole 16 for the movable pins 32 to be inserted. The front baffle 22 has movable holes 25 on both sides for the outer ends of the movable pins 32 to pass through. The inner end of the movable pin 32 is eccentrically hinged to the knob 31, and rotating the knob 31 can insert the movable pin 32 into the locking hole 16 of the base 1.

[0033] The knob 31 is cylindrical, with a movable groove 33 on its side for the movable pin 32 to move. The knob 31 has two hinge shafts 34 arranged symmetrically at 180° to each other, and the inner end of the movable pin 32 is fitted onto the hinge shafts 34. The front baffle 22 has several supporting vertical plates 221, each with a long, narrow limiting groove 222, within which the movable pin 32 is located. The knob 31 has an unlocking groove 35 and a locking groove 36 on its side, and the front baffle 22 has a protrusion 26 that engages with either the unlocking groove 35 or the locking groove 36.

[0034] The storage basket 2 has an opening at the top and is hinged to a top cover 4. The top cover 4 can be rotated upwards to remove the miscellaneous items inside the storage basket 2.

[0035] Working process: Rotating knob 31 retracts the movable pin 32 into the front baffle 22 or extends it to both sides of the front baffle 22. The base 1 has locking holes 16 for the movable pin 32 to be inserted. When the movable pins 32 at both ends are inserted into the locking holes 16, the protrusions 26 engage with the locking grooves 36, and knob 31 can no longer be rotated freely, locking the storage basket 2 to the base 1. The storage basket 2 will not easily detach, and the water surface cleaning robot can be started to perform its work. The water surface cleaning robot performs cleaning operations while moving on the water surface. Because the top cover 4 does not completely cover the upper opening of the storage basket 2, debris enters the storage basket 2 through the opening, and the storage basket 2 continuously collects the debris. When it is necessary to clean the storage basket 2, take the water surface cleaning robot out of the water surface, turn the knob 31 to make the protrusion 26 engage in the unlocking slot 35, at which point the two movable pins 32 are retracted into the front baffle 22, and the storage basket 2 can be pulled out from the base 1. Turn the top cover 4 to remove the debris inside the storage basket 2. After cleaning the storage basket 2, put it back into the base 1 for reuse.
