Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning machinery technology, specifically an integrated sweeper and snowplow. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, cleaning equipment is widely used for everything from household cleaning to municipal road maintenance. However, traditional cleaning equipment is mostly single-function; sweepers can only clean up ordinary ground debris such as dust and paper scraps, while snowplows are specifically designed to remove snow. This single-function design not only leads to higher purchase and operating costs but also requires frequent equipment replacement in different seasons and scenarios, causing great inconvenience to users.

[0003] More notably, existing robotic sweepers generally suffer from incomplete cleaning of dust and other fine debris. Due to a lack of effective wind guidance and direction control, some small impurities are easily missed during the sweeping process, reducing cleaning efficiency and leaving dust residue on the floor, severely impacting environmental cleanliness. Furthermore, traditional sweeping equipment cannot adapt well to changing cleaning needs and struggles to flexibly handle various complex cleaning scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated sweeper and snow sweeper to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An integrated sweeper and snow sweeper includes a vehicle body and a roller brush rotatably mounted on the vehicle body. The vehicle body is equipped with a drive mechanism, which is connected to the roller brush. When the drive mechanism is running, the roller brush will rotate to remove snow from the ground.

[0007] An arc-shaped cover plate is provided on the vehicle body and above the roller brush. An arc-shaped sliding plate is provided at one end of the arc-shaped cover plate at the front of the vehicle body. A fan is provided on the vehicle body. An air guide plate is provided on the arc-shaped cover plate along its tangent direction. One end of the air guide plate is connected to the air outlet of the fan.

[0008] The vehicle body is equipped with a switching component that can cooperate with the drive mechanism. The switching component is connected to the arc-shaped slide plate and the fan respectively. During snow removal, the switching component remains in its initial state. When sweeping, external force drives the switching component to cooperate with the drive mechanism. At this time, the power of the drive mechanism is transmitted to the arc-shaped slide plate and the fan through the switching component, causing the fan to start running. At the same time, the arc-shaped slide plate extends outward to guide the airflow to the bottom of the roller brush.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model:

[0010] The drive mechanism includes a drive shaft, a transmission shaft, and a motor, and both the drive shaft and the transmission shaft are horizontally rotatably mounted on the vehicle body;

[0011] The motor is mounted on the vehicle body, and one end of the drive shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model:

[0013] A first pulley is coaxially arranged on the drive shaft, and a second pulley is coaxially arranged on the transmission shaft. The first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a first toothed belt.

[0014] A No. 3 pulley is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft, and a No. 4 pulley is coaxially mounted on one end of the roller brush. The No. 3 pulley and the No. 4 pulley are connected by a second toothed belt.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model:

[0016] The diameters of the first and third pulleys are the same, and the diameters of the second and fourth pulleys are the same.

[0017] The diameter of the first pulley is larger than the diameter of the second pulley, and a first gear is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model:

[0019] The switching assembly includes a sleeve shaft and a rocker arm. The sleeve shaft is rotatably mounted on the impeller shaft of the fan. One end of the rocker arm is fixedly connected to the sleeve shaft, and the other end of the rocker arm is provided with a switching rod.

[0020] The vehicle body is respectively equipped with a first limit frame and a second limit frame, which are located on both sides of the swing arm, and the first limit frame is close to the drive shaft.

[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model:

[0022] The swing arm is provided with a protruding rod, and the protruding rod and the first limiting frame are connected by a hook spring. Under the action of the hook spring, the swing arm remains tilted and abuts against the second limiting frame.

[0023] A second gear is coaxially mounted on the impeller shaft of the fan, and a third gear is rotatably mounted on the swing arm, meshing with the second gear. The third gear engages with the first gear. When an external force is used to rotate the swing arm towards the drive shaft via the switching rod, the hook spring will be gradually stretched. When the hook spring reaches its maximum stretch, the rotation continues, at which point the hook spring will rapidly contract, causing the swing arm to abut against the first limit bracket. Simultaneously, the third gear meshes with the first gear.

[0024] As a further improvement of this utility model:

[0025] The switching assembly also includes a rotating rod, a No. 5 pulley, and a No. 6 pulley. The rotating rod is horizontally rotatable on the arc-shaped cover plate, and the No. 5 pulley is coaxially mounted on the sleeve shaft.

[0026] The sixth pulley is coaxially mounted at one end of the rotating rod, and the fifth pulley and the sixth pulley are connected by a third toothed belt;

[0027] The other end of the rotating rod is coaxially provided with a No. 4 gear, and an arc-shaped toothed plate is slidably provided on one side of the arc-shaped cover plate. One side of the arc-shaped toothed plate and one side of the arc-shaped slide plate are fixedly connected, and the arc-shaped toothed plate and the No. 4 gear are also connected.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0029] It achieves dual-purpose functionality, performing well in both snow removal and sweeping scenarios, thus improving equipment utilization and reducing the cost of purchasing different equipment.

[0030] In snow removal mode, the switching components remain in their initial state, and the roller brush rotates under the action of the drive mechanism to remove snow from the ground. The arc-shaped cover can prevent snow from splashing everywhere, ensuring that snow removal operations are carried out in an orderly manner.

[0031] In sweeping mode, the mechanical coordination of switching components utilizes the wind generated by the fan and the curved slide plate to guide the airflow to the bottom of the roller brush, effectively removing dust and debris for better cleaning results. The overall design is reasonable and easy to operate, which can well meet the cleaning needs of different seasons. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Furthermore, the elements in this invention are referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, which may be directly on the other element or may also include an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or may also include an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0041] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the utility model, an integrated sweeper and snow sweeper includes a vehicle body 1 and a roller brush 2 rotatably mounted on the vehicle body 1. The vehicle body 1 is provided with a drive mechanism, which is connected to the roller brush 2. When the drive mechanism is running, the roller brush 2 will rotate to remove snow from the ground.

[0042] An arc-shaped cover plate 3 is provided on the vehicle body 1 and above the roller brush 2. An arc-shaped sliding plate 4 is provided at one end of the arc-shaped cover plate 3 in front of the vehicle body 1. A fan 5 is provided on the vehicle body 1. An air guide plate 6 is provided on the arc-shaped cover plate 3 along its tangent direction. One end of the air guide plate 6 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 5.

[0043] The vehicle body 1 is equipped with a switching component that can cooperate with the drive mechanism. The switching component is connected to the arc-shaped slide plate 4 and the fan 5 respectively. During snow removal, the switching component remains in its initial state. When sweeping, the switching component is driven by external force to cooperate with the drive mechanism. At this time, the power of the drive mechanism is transmitted to the arc-shaped slide plate 4 and the fan 5 through the switching component, so that the fan 5 starts to run. At the same time, the arc-shaped slide plate 4 extends outward to guide the airflow to the bottom of the roller brush 2.

[0044] In this solution, the vehicle body 1 serves as the basic support for the entire equipment, and the drive mechanism on it is connected to the roller brush 2. When it is necessary to clear snow from the ground, the switching component remains in its initial state. At this time, the drive mechanism runs, directly driving the roller brush 2 to rotate. The rotation of the roller brush 2 can effectively sweep away the snow on the ground. The arc-shaped cover plate 3 is fixed on the vehicle body 1 and located above the roller brush 2. It can block snow from splashing during the snow sweeping process.

[0045] When sweeping is required, external force is applied to the switching component, causing it to cooperate with the drive mechanism. At this time, the power of the drive mechanism no longer only drives the roller brush 2 to rotate, but is also transmitted to the curved slide plate 4 and the fan 5 through the switching component. The fan 5 starts to run, generating a strong airflow. At the same time, the curved slide plate 4 extends outward and works together with the air guide plate 6 on the curved cover plate 3 to accurately guide the airflow generated by the fan 5 to the bottom of the roller brush 2. In this way, when the roller brush 2 rotates to sweep dust and other small impurities on the ground, the wind can help to suck in and collect these impurities, thereby significantly improving the cleaning effect and ensuring that the floor is cleaner and tidier.

[0046] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes a drive shaft 7, a transmission shaft 8, and a motor 9, wherein the drive shaft 7 and the transmission shaft 8 are both horizontally rotatably mounted on the vehicle body 1.

[0047] The motor 9 is mounted on the vehicle body 1, and one end of the drive shaft 7 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9.

[0048] A first pulley 10 is coaxially arranged on the drive shaft 7, and a second pulley 11 is coaxially arranged on the transmission shaft 8. The first pulley 10 and the second pulley 11 are connected by a first toothed belt 12.

[0049] A third pulley 13 is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft 8, and a fourth pulley 14 is coaxially mounted on one end of the roller brush 2. The third pulley 13 and the fourth pulley 14 are connected by a second toothed belt 15.

[0050] The first pulley 10 and the third pulley 13 have the same diameter, and the second pulley 11 and the fourth pulley 14 have the same diameter.

[0051] The diameter of the first pulley 10 is larger than the diameter of the second pulley 11, and the first gear 16 is coaxially arranged on the drive shaft 7.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the motor 9 is started, its output end drives the drive shaft 7 to rotate coaxially. A first pulley 10 is coaxially arranged on the drive shaft 7. As the drive shaft 7 rotates, the first pulley 10 also rotates. The first pulley 10 is connected to a second pulley 11 coaxially arranged on the transmission shaft 8 through a first toothed belt 12. Therefore, the rotation of the first pulley 10 will drive the second pulley 11 to rotate through the first toothed belt 12, thereby causing the transmission shaft 8 to start rotating.

[0053] Since the drive shaft 8 is coaxially equipped with a third pulley 13, the rotation of the drive shaft 8 will drive the third pulley 13 to rotate. The third pulley 13 is connected to the fourth pulley 14 coaxially equipped at one end of the roller brush 2 through the second toothed belt 15. Therefore, the rotation of the third pulley 13 will drive the fourth pulley 14 to rotate through the second toothed belt 15, thereby causing the roller brush 2 to start rotating.

[0054] Among them, the first pulley 10 and the third pulley 13 have the same diameter, and the second pulley 11 and the fourth pulley 14 also have the same diameter. Furthermore, the diameter of the first pulley 10 is larger than that of the second pulley 11, which enables a certain speed and torque conversion during power transmission to adapt to the different needs of the roller brush 2 in sweeping or snow removal operations. A first gear 16 is also fixed on the drive shaft 7 to prepare for subsequent power transmission branches.

[0055] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the switching assembly includes a sleeve shaft 17 and a swing rod 18. The sleeve shaft 17 is rotatably sleeved on the impeller shaft of the fan 5. One end of the swing rod 18 is fixedly connected to the sleeve shaft 17, and the other end of the swing rod 18 is provided with a switching rod 19.

[0056] The vehicle body 1 is respectively provided with a first limiting frame 20 and a second limiting frame 21. The first limiting frame 20 and the second limiting frame 21 are located on both sides of the swing arm 18, and the first limiting frame 20 is close to the drive shaft 7.

[0057] The swing arm 18 is provided with a protruding rod 22, and the protruding rod 22 and the first limiting frame 20 are connected by a hook spring 23. Under the action of the hook spring 23, the swing arm 18 remains tilted and abuts against the second limiting frame 21.

[0058] A second gear 24 is coaxially mounted on the impeller shaft of the fan 5. A third gear 25, which meshes with the second gear 24, is rotatably mounted on the swing arm 18. The third gear 25 engages with the first gear 16. When the swing arm 18 is rotated towards the drive shaft 7 by the switching rod 19 with the help of external force, the hook spring 23 will be gradually stretched. When the hook spring 23 reaches its maximum stretch, it will continue to rotate. At this time, the hook spring 23 will quickly contract, thereby causing the swing arm 18 to abut against the first limit frame 20. At the same time, the third gear 25 meshes with the first gear 16.

[0059] In this embodiment, when the sweeping mode needs to be activated, the switching lever 19 is first gripped by external force and force is applied to rotate it toward the drive shaft 7. Since the switching lever 19 is fixed to one end of the swing arm 18, the swing arm 18 begins to rotate under the action of force. The other end of the swing arm 18 is fixedly connected to the sleeve shaft 17. The sleeve shaft 17 is rotated and sleeved on the impeller shaft of the fan 5. Therefore, the rotation of the swing arm 18 will drive the sleeve shaft 17 to rotate on the impeller shaft of the fan 5.

[0060] As the swing arm 18 rotates, the protruding rod 22 fixedly connected to it also moves. The protruding rod 22 and the first limiting frame 20 are connected by a hook spring 23. During the rotation, the hook spring 23 is gradually stretched. When the hook spring 23 reaches its maximum stretch, force is applied to make the swing arm 18 rotate. At this time, the hook spring 23 will quickly contract, causing the swing arm 18 to swing rapidly and abut against the first limiting frame 20, thereby completing the switching.

[0061] During this process, the No. 2 gear 24, which is coaxially mounted on the impeller shaft of the fan 5, meshes with the No. 3 gear 25, which is rotatably mounted on the rocker arm 18. When the rocker arm 18 rotates and the No. 3 gear 25 meshes with the No. 1 gear 16, the power transmission path is established. At this time, the power of the drive mechanism can be transmitted to the No. 3 gear 25 through the No. 1 gear 16 fixed on the drive shaft 7, thereby driving the impeller shaft of the fan 5 to rotate and making the fan 5 start running.

[0062] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the switching assembly also includes a rotating rod 26, a fifth pulley 27, and a sixth pulley 28. The rotating rod 26 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the arc-shaped cover plate 3, and the fifth pulley 27 is coaxially mounted on the sleeve shaft 17.

[0063] The sixth pulley 28 is coaxially disposed at one end of the rotating rod 26, and the fifth pulley 27 and the sixth pulley 28 are connected by a third toothed belt 29;

[0064] The other end of the rotating rod 26 is coaxially provided with a fourth gear 30, and an arc-shaped toothed plate 31 is slidably provided on one side of the arc-shaped cover plate 3. One side of the arc-shaped toothed plate 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped slide plate 4, and the arc-shaped toothed plate 31 is connected to the fourth gear 30.

[0065] In this embodiment, when switching to sweeping mode, the switching lever 19 is pulled by external force, causing the swing arm 18 to rotate towards the drive shaft 7, so that the sleeve shaft 17 rotates on the impeller shaft of the fan 5; the rotation of the sleeve shaft 17 causes the coaxially fixed pulley 27 to rotate, the pulley 27 is connected to the pulley 28 via the third toothed belt 29, and the pulley 28 is coaxially fixed to one end of the rotating rod 26, so the rotation of the pulley 27 will drive the pulley 28 via the third toothed belt 29. The rotation of the rod 26 causes the rotating rod 26 to rotate. The other end of the rotating rod 26 is coaxially fixed with a fourth gear 30. The rotation of the rotating rod 26 drives the fourth gear 30 to rotate. The fourth gear 30 meshes with the arc-shaped toothed plate 31, which is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped slide plate 4. When the fourth gear 30 rotates, it will drive the arc-shaped toothed plate 31 to slide along the arc-shaped cover plate 3, thereby realizing the outward extension of the arc-shaped slide plate 4, so that the airflow can be guided to the bottom of the roller brush 2 to enhance the cleaning effect when sweeping.
