Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water surface cleaning equipment, and relates to a press-type storage basket 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 press-type storage basket for a water surface cleaning robot. This basket can automatically lock and quickly unlock, making it convenient for installation and cleaning.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A press-type storage basket for a water surface cleaning robot includes a storage basket body inserted into a frame. The storage basket body has a bottom plate with an installation groove. A locking component for locking the storage basket body to the frame is provided in the installation groove. The locking component includes a press plate, a protective cover, and two movable pins. The two movable pins are on the same straight line. A limit seat is provided in the installation groove. A stop block is provided at the inner end of the movable pin. A spring is connected between the two stops. The stop block abuts against the limit seat under the action of the spring. The protective cover is fixed in the installation groove. Several horizontally arranged guide posts are provided on the inner side of the protective cover. The press plate is sleeved on the guide posts and moves back and forth. The back of the press plate has a pressing part that extends out of the protective cover. An inclined strip-shaped sliding hole is provided on the movable pin. Sliding shafts that insert into the strip-shaped sliding holes are provided on both sides of the press plate. The outer end of the movable pin can be inserted into the lock hole of the frame after passing through the installation groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the protective cover has a rectangular hole, and the bottom of the pressing plate has a protruding limiting protrusion that slides within the rectangular hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting groove has several supporting vertical plates, and the supporting vertical plates have elongated limiting grooves, in which the movable pin is embedded.

[0007] Furthermore, the stop has a positioning post, and a spring is sleeved on the positioning post.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage basket has an opening at the top and is connected to a lid. The lid can be rotated upwards to remove the items inside the basket.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting groove has threaded holes, and the protective cover has connection holes. The protective cover is fixed in the mounting groove by bolts inserted into the connection holes.

[0010] During cleaning, the water surface cleaning robot collects debris into a storage basket for storage. To remove debris, reach into the mounting slot and press the pressing part with your fingers, pulling the basket outwards. This pushes the pressing plate along the guide post, causing the sliding shaft to slide along the strip-shaped hole and press against its edge. This causes the movable pin to retract into the mounting slot. The spring is then compressed by the stops on both sides until the outer end of the movable pin disengages from the locking hole in the frame, allowing the entire storage basket to be pulled out. Rotating the top cover allows you to remove the debris from the basket. After cleaning, when you need to put the storage basket back into the frame, push the pressing plate by hand to keep the movable pin in the retracted state. After the storage basket is fully inserted into the frame, release the pressing plate. The spring will push the stop block outward after it is no longer under external force, so that the movable pin can be inserted into the locking hole. At this time, the stop block abuts against the limit seat, preventing the movable pin from moving outward. After the storage basket is locked to the frame, the storage basket will not easily detach from the frame, and the water surface cleaning robot can be started to carry out the operation.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the push-to-load storage basket of this water surface cleaning robot has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. Equipped with a locking mechanism, the storage basket can be unlocked while being pulled, which is convenient and quick. The movable pin is automatically popped out by the spring force to achieve the automatic locking function.

[0013] 2. The locking components take up little space, are equipped with a protective cover, are not affected by external objects, and are durable. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the push-type storage basket of this water surface cleaning robot includes a storage basket body 2 inserted into the frame 1. The upper end of the storage basket body 2 is open and connected to a top cover 20. The top cover 20 can be rotated upwards to remove debris from the storage basket body 2. The storage basket body 2 has a base plate 3, on which a mounting groove 4 is opened. A locking component is provided in the mounting groove 4 to lock the storage basket body 2 to the frame 1.

[0023] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly includes a pressing plate 5, a protective cover 6, and two movable pins 7. The two movable pins 7 are on the same straight line. The mounting groove 4 has a limiting seat 8. The inner end of the movable pin 7 has a stop block 9. A spring 10 is connected between the two stop blocks 9. The stop block 9 has a positioning post 19.
