Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning module and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many robotic vacuum cleaners also have a mopping function. This is mainly achieved by installing a cleaning module in the robotic vacuum cleaner, which mops the floor.

[0003] Cleaning modules can be broadly categorized into disc-type, roller-type, and tracked-type cleaning modules based on their shape. Disc-type cleaning modules use a disc-shaped mop, roller-type modules use a roller-type mop, and tracked-type modules use a tracked mop. Compared to disc-type and roller-type mops, tracked-type mops offer advantages such as a larger mopping area, stronger pressure on the ground, and better edge-cleaning performance, making them widely used in robotic vacuum cleaners. Tracked-type cleaning modules typically include a cleaning module and a mounting component. The cleaning module comprises a cleaning component and a support assembly. The mounting component has a cavity housing the support assembly, which is located within the cavity and connected to the mounting component. The cleaning component is fitted onto the support assembly, forming a ring structure. Rotation within a portion of the support assembly's cavity drives the cleaning component to move and mop the floor.

[0004] Users need to remove the cleaning module from the mounting assembly for easy cleaning. However, in existing tracked cleaning modules, removing and installing the cleaning module from the mounting assembly is quite difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a cleaning module and cleaning equipment, enabling users to install and remove the cleaning module within the mounting bracket using a single-handed operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning module, the cleaning module comprising:

[0007] The mounting component has an open receiving cavity; the cavity wall has a first fastening opening;

[0008] The motor assembly or mounting component has a first limiting portion;

[0009] A cleaning module includes a cleaning component and a support assembly. The cleaning component is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the support assembly. The support assembly includes a first transmission component, which is supported on the circumferential inner side of the cleaning component and is rotatable. The first transmission component has a first mating part. At least a portion of the support assembly is disposed in a receiving cavity, and the first mating part is inserted into a first limiting part. The first transmission component is configured to rotate under the drive of a motor assembly and drive the cleaning component to rotate.

[0010] A button assembly includes a first button element, the first button element and a first mating portion being located on opposite sides of a support assembly in the length direction, and the first button element being configured to extend and retract relative to the support assembly under the action of an external force, so that the first button element has an inward state and an outward convex state relative to the support assembly.

[0011] When the support assembly is located in the receiving cavity: the first button is in an outward convex state, a part of the first button is inserted into the first snap-fit ​​opening, and the other part of the first button is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting component.

[0012] This embodiment of the application, through the insertion of the first mating part and the first limiting part, allows the user to initially position the cleaning module within the mounting component by first inserting the first mating part and the first limiting part when installing the cleaning module with one hand. Furthermore, the first button's ability to extend and retract relative to the supporting component under external force allows the user to press the cleaning module after initial positioning. During subsequent installation, the first button retracts under force, switching from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state, facilitating its movement within the mounting component and positioning a portion of the first button relative to the first snap-fit ​​opening. At this point, the first button resets under the action of a rebound force and switches back to the outward convex state, allowing a portion of the first button to be inserted into the first snap-fit ​​opening. This ensures that the end of the supporting component with the first button is also detachably connected to the mounting component, enabling one-handed installation of the cleaning module within the mounting component.

[0013] Furthermore, the design where the first button is partially exposed on the outer surface of the mounting component while the support assembly is located within the accommodating cavity allows the user to disassemble the cleaning module without needing to insert their hand into the first locking opening. Simply press the first button with one hand to retract it towards the support assembly, switching it from a convex to an inward position, allowing the portion of the first button located within the first locking opening to disengage. Then, by pulling the first mating part out of the first limiting part, the connection between the cleaning module and the mounting component can be completely released, allowing the cleaning module to be detached from the mounting component. This enables users to easily install and remove the cleaning module from the mounting component with a single hand, improving the user experience.

[0014] In some embodiments, one of the first mating portion and the first limiting portion is a groove, and the other is a protrusion;

[0015] The outer circumferential wall of the protrusion is non-circular, and the shape of the groove matches the shape of the protrusion; at least part of the protrusion is located in the groove to achieve the insertion of the first mating part and the first limiting part. Furthermore, when the first limiting part is provided on the motor assembly, the non-circular design of the outer circumferential wall of the protrusion facilitates the connection between the first transmission member and the motor assembly, while also enabling the assembly and disassembly of the support component.

[0016] In some embodiments, the motor assembly has a rotating member, and the mounting member has a first clearance groove on one side of the corresponding rotating member;

[0017] The rotating part is partially rotatably disposed in the first relief groove, and the rotating part has a groove at one end facing the accommodating cavity. The groove forms a first limiting part so that when the end of the support assembly with the first mating part is disposed in the accommodating cavity, the first mating part can be inserted into the first limiting part.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first button includes a main body and a fastening portion. The main body is elastically connected to a support component. The fastening portion is connected to the main body, and a portion of the fastening portion protrudes from the side of the main body facing the first fastening opening, so that the first button can extend and retract relative to the support component under external force.

[0019] When the support assembly is located within the receiving cavity: the fastening part is inserted into the first fastening port and abuts against the inner top wall of the first fastening port, while the main body is exposed outside the mounting member. This arrangement allows the fastening part of the first button to be inserted into the first fastening port, and because the fastening part abuts against the inner top wall of the first fastening port, the inner top wall of the first fastening port also restricts the movement of the fastening part towards the open side of the receiving cavity, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the end of the support assembly where the first button is located and the mounting member. Furthermore, by having the main body exposed outside the mounting member, a portion of the first button is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member.

[0020] As the support assembly is placed within the receiving cavity, the fastening part is configured to abut against the cavity wall and move the main body towards one side of the support assembly, causing the first button to switch from an outwardly convex state to an inwardly retracted state. This configuration allows the end of the support assembly with the first button to be positioned within the receiving cavity, and the first button can move within the mounting component to a position where the fastening part aligns with the first fastening opening.

[0021] In some embodiments, the fastening portion has a first guide surface on the side opposite to the support assembly; the cavity wall of the receiving cavity has a first mating surface, the first mating surface being located on the side of the first fastening opening facing the opening of the receiving cavity;

[0022] The first mating surface is configured to abut against the first guide surface during the process of the support component being disposed in the receiving cavity, so that the fastening part moves along the first mating surface toward the bottom wall of the receiving cavity while also moving toward one side of the support component.

[0023] In this way, during the process of the support component being placed in the accommodating cavity, the first mating surface and the first guide surface cooperate to allow the first mating surface to apply force to the first guide surface, thereby driving the fastening part to move toward one side of the support component and simultaneously moving the main body part, so that the first button component switches from the convex state to the retracted state.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first mating surface is a first inclined surface, the top edge of the first inclined surface is adjacent to the opening of the receiving cavity, the bottom edge of the first inclined surface is adjacent to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, and the top edge of the first inclined surface is inclined toward the outside of the receiving cavity relative to the bottom edge of the first inclined surface.

[0025] The first guide surface is parallel to the first mating surface.

[0026] In this way, as the support component is placed inside the accommodating cavity, the first mating surface abuts against the first guide surface. As the support component continues to move towards the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, the engagement of the first mating surface and the first guide surface causes the fastening part to move along itself (the first mating surface) towards the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity while also moving towards one side of the support component, thus achieving the switching of the first button from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state.

[0027] In some embodiments, when the fastening part is inserted into the first fastening port, there is a gap between the fastening part and the inner bottom wall of the first fastening port, so that when the user presses the main body part, the first button retracts toward the side of the support component, causing the fastening part to disengage from the first fastening port.

[0028] In some embodiments, the fastening part is located on the side of the main body facing the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, so that during the process of the support assembly being placed in the receiving cavity, the fastening part can contact the mounting part (first mating surface) earlier, and has a certain guiding effect on the installation of the first button in the receiving cavity, so that after the first button is moved into place, the fastening part can be opposite to the first fastening opening.

[0029] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the mounting component has a second clearance groove at a position opposite to the main body portion. The second clearance groove communicates with the receiving cavity, and a portion of the main body portion is disposed in the second clearance groove. This allows the main body portion to be disposed in the receiving cavity while a portion of the main body portion is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting component through the second clearance groove, so that the user can press and disassemble the cleaning module.

[0030] In some embodiments, the number of fastening portions is two or more, and the two or more fastening portions are spaced apart along the width direction of the mounting member;

[0031] The mounting component has a first snap-fit ​​opening at each corresponding snap-fit ​​position. With this configuration, when the support assembly is placed in the receiving cavity, each snap-fit ​​can be inserted into the corresponding first snap-fit ​​opening, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the end of the support assembly with the first button and the mounting component.

[0032] In some embodiments, the support assembly further includes a second transmission member and an intermediate structural member. The first transmission member, the intermediate structural member, and the second transmission member are arranged sequentially along the width direction of the mounting member. Both the first transmission member and the second transmission member are supported on the circumferential inner side of the cleaning member, and both the first transmission member and the second transmission member can rotate relative to the intermediate structural member.

[0033] The intermediate structural member has a first mounting cavity on the side facing the first button member. A portion of the main body is disposed in the first mounting cavity and is elastically connected to the intermediate structural member to achieve an elastic connection between the main body and the support assembly.

[0034] In some embodiments, the button assembly further includes a first elastic member located within a first mounting cavity and abutting between the intermediate structural member and the main body.

[0035] The first elastic element enables an elastic connection between the main body and the intermediate structural member. Furthermore, due to the compressibility of the first elastic element, the first button can switch between an outwardly convex state and an inwardly retracted state when the main body moves relative to the intermediate structural member within the first mounting cavity.

[0036] In some embodiments, the main body portion further has a stop protrusion, a portion of which is located within the first mounting cavity, and the intermediate structural member further has an abutment portion located on the side of the stop protrusion facing the first fastening opening.

[0037] When the first button is in a convex state, the stop protrusion abuts against the abutting part.

[0038] The abutting part can restrict the main body part from moving the fastening part further away from the middle structural member, so as to ensure that when the first button is in an outward convex state, the fastening part can be inserted into the first fastening port.

[0039] In some embodiments, the intermediate structural member has a first engagement groove, which communicates with a first mounting cavity;

[0040] The stop protrusion is located in the first engagement groove. Along the moving direction of the main body, the first engagement groove forms an abutment on the groove wall facing the stop protrusion, so as to ensure that when the main body moves away from the intermediate structural member under the action of the rebound force, the stop protrusion can abut against the abutment.

[0041] In some embodiments, the button assembly further includes a second button member. Along the width direction of the support assembly, the second button member and the first mating portion are spaced apart on the same side of the support assembly, and the second button member can extend and retract relative to the support assembly so that the second button member has an inward state and an outward state relative to the support assembly.

[0042] The cavity wall or motor assembly of the receiving cavity is provided with a second fastening port, which is opposite to the second button;

[0043] When the support assembly is located within the accommodating cavity: the second button protrudes outward and is inserted into the second snap-fit ​​opening, abutting against the inner top wall of the second snap-fit ​​opening, so that the second button is inserted into the second snap-fit ​​opening. In this way, in addition to being connected to the mounting component via the first button, the support assembly can also enhance the stability of the support assembly and cleaning module installed within the mounting component through the insertion of the second button into the second snap-fit ​​opening.

[0044] Furthermore, the second button can be extended relative to the support component, allowing the user to easily move the second button into place within the mounting component during subsequent installation. This allows the second button to be positioned opposite the second snap-fit ​​opening and inserted into it, enabling the user to install the cleaning module with one hand within the mounting component.

[0045] When the user disassembles the cleaning module with one hand, causing the part of the first button that is inside the first snap-fit ​​to come out of the first snap-fit, the user can apply force to the support component to disengage the second button from the second snap-fit. Then, the user can pull the first mating part out of the first limiting part to remove the cleaning module from the mounting component.

[0046] In some embodiments, when the support assembly is disposed within the receiving cavity: the second button has space within the second fastening opening to move toward the inner bottom wall side of the second fastening opening.

[0047] In this way, when the part of the first button located inside the first snap-fit ​​opening is disengaged from the first snap-fit ​​opening, the user can apply force to the support component, causing the end of the support component with the first button to be lifted (upward) away from the mounting component. The end of the support component with the second button will then move towards the inner bottom wall of the second snap-fit ​​opening, making it easier for the second button to disengage from the second snap-fit ​​opening and further reducing the difficulty of disassembling the cleaning module.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second button has a connecting end and a snapping end in the telescopic direction, and the connecting end is elastically connected to the support component.

[0049] When the support assembly is located within the receiving cavity: the engaging end is situated within the second engaging opening and abuts against the inner top wall of the second engaging opening. This arrangement allows the second button to be inserted into the second engaging opening, while the engagement end abuts against the inner top wall of the second engaging opening. This also restricts the movement of the second button towards the open side of the receiving cavity, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the end of the support assembly containing the second button and the mounting component.

[0050] During the process of the support component being placed in the receiving cavity, the fastening end abuts against the cavity wall and the second button changes from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state, so that the end of the support component with the second button is placed in the receiving cavity, and the second button can move within the mounting component to a position opposite to the second fastening opening.

[0051] In some embodiments, the side of the fastening end facing away from the connecting end has a second guide surface; the cavity wall of the receiving cavity has a second mating surface, the second mating surface being located on the side of the second fastening opening facing the opening of the receiving cavity;

[0052] The second mating surface is configured to contact the second guide surface during the process of the support component being disposed in the receiving cavity, so that the fastening end moves along the second mating surface toward the bottom wall of the receiving cavity while also moving toward one side of the support component, so that the second button component switches from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second mating surface is a second inclined surface, the top edge of the second inclined surface is adjacent to the opening of the receiving cavity, the bottom edge of the second inclined surface is adjacent to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, and the top edge of the second inclined surface is inclined toward the outside of the receiving cavity relative to the bottom edge of the second inclined surface.

[0054] The second guide surface is parallel to the second mating surface.

[0055] In this way, as the support component is placed inside the receiving cavity, the second mating surface will abut against the second guide surface. As the support component continues to move towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, the second mating surface will engage with the second guide surface, causing the snap-fit ​​end to move along itself (the second mating surface) towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity while also moving towards one side of the support component, thus achieving the switching of the second button from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state.

[0056] In some embodiments, the engaging end further has a third guide surface, the top edge of the third guide surface being adjacent to the opening of the receiving cavity, and the bottom edge of the third guide surface being adjacent to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity. The top edge of the third guide surface is inclined outwards from the receiving cavity relative to the bottom edge of the third guide surface.

[0057] The inner top wall of the second snap-fit ​​joint is the third inclined surface, which is parallel to the third guide surface. When the support assembly is placed in the accommodating cavity, the third guide surface abuts against the inner top wall of the third inclined surface.

[0058] In this way, when disassembling the cleaning module, the cooperation between the third inclined surface and the third guide surface can guide the second button to come out of the second fastening port, thereby further reducing the difficulty of the second button to come out of the second fastening port and making the disassembly of the cleaning module easier.

[0059] In some embodiments, the support assembly further includes an intermediate structural member, which has a second mounting cavity on the side facing the second button member. A connecting end is disposed in the second mounting cavity and is elastically connected to the intermediate structural member to achieve an elastic connection between the second button member and the support assembly.

[0060] In some embodiments, the button assembly further includes a second elastic member located within a second mounting cavity and abutting between the intermediate structural member and the connecting end.

[0061] The second elastic element enables an elastic connection between the main body and the intermediate structural member. Furthermore, due to the compressibility of the second elastic element, the second button can switch between an outwardly convex state and an inwardly retracted state when the connecting end moves relative to the intermediate structural member within the first mounting cavity.

[0062] In some embodiments, the support component has an assembly portion at its end in the length direction, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity has a guide groove at the position corresponding to the assembly portion. The bottom of the guide groove is adjacent to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, and the opening of the guide groove faces the opening of the receiving cavity.

[0063] As the support component is placed within the receiving cavity, the assembly part is positioned within the guide groove through the opening of the guide groove and moves towards the bottom of the guide groove. This arrangement allows the movement of the assembly part within the guide groove to reposition the support component on the mounting piece. Thus, when installing the cleaning module, after inserting the first mating part into the first limiting part and partially into the corresponding guide groove, the user only needs to apply a downward force to the cleaning module and press it down to complete the installation.

[0064] In some embodiments, the diameter of the guide groove at the opening is larger than the diameter at the bottom. This allows the guide groove to have a large opening and a small interior, so that while the assembly part is positioned in the guide groove through the opening, the shaking of the assembly part within the guide groove can be reduced.

[0065] In some embodiments, there are multiple assembly parts, which are distributed at both ends of the support assembly in the length direction.

[0066] Each mounting component has a guide groove at the corresponding position of each assembly part, so that each assembly part can enter the corresponding guide groove, thereby enhancing the positioning effect of the support component on the mounting component.

[0067] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cleaning device, which includes a body and a cleaning module as described in any of the above embodiments. The cleaning module has a mounting member that is connected to the body.

[0068] By incorporating a cleaning module into the cleaning equipment, users can assemble and disassemble the cleaning module with one hand while the equipment also has a mopping function, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0103] 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0104] This application provides a cleaning device. The cleaning device may include a robotic vacuum cleaner, a floor scrubber, or other equipment capable of cleaning surfaces. For example, the surface to be cleaned may be a floor. The following description primarily uses the scenario of the cleaning device cleaning a floor as an example to illustrate the structure of the cleaning device.

[0105] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a cleaning device 100 is shown from a first-view perspective. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a cleaning device 100 is shown from a second perspective. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning equipment 100 shown are all robotic vacuum cleaners. The following section combines... Figure 1 and Figure 2Taking a robotic vacuum cleaner as an example, the structure of the cleaning equipment 100 will be further explained.

[0106] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning equipment 100 includes a body 1, which can be understood as the housing of the cleaning equipment 100. The cleaning equipment 100 also includes a walking component 2, which is located on the side of the body 1 facing the surface to be cleaned and is connected to the body 1, so that the body 1 can walk and turn on the surface to be cleaned under the drive of the walking component 2, so as to realize the automatic walking function of the cleaning equipment 100.

[0107] It should be noted that the side of the body 1 facing the surface to be cleaned can be understood as the bottom surface 12 of the body 1. Along the height direction z of the body 1, the body 1 has a bottom surface 12 and a top surface 11. The top surface 11 of the body 1 can be understood as the side of the body 1 away from the surface to be cleaned.

[0108] See Figure 1 The walking assembly 2 includes a drive wheel 21 and a driven wheel 22, both located on the side of the machine body 1 facing the surface to be cleaned. The drive wheel 21 provides power to the machine body 1, enabling it to move and turn. For example, the drive wheel 21 can be a roller. The driven wheel 22 provides guidance and assistance to the machine body 1 during movement, enhancing the stability of the cleaning equipment 100. For example, the driven wheel 22 can be a caster wheel.

[0109] See Figure 1 The driven wheel 22 and the drive wheel 21 can be spaced apart in the front-rear direction y of the body 1. Any two of the front-rear direction y, the width direction x, and the height direction z of the body 1 are perpendicular to each other. The specific positions of the driven wheel 22 and the drive wheel 21 on the body 1, as well as the connection method between the driven wheel 22 and the drive wheel 21 and the body 1, can be determined based on existing cleaning equipment 100 such as sweeping robots, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0110] See Figure 2 With the advancement of technology, the cleaning equipment 100 also has a mopping function. This is mainly achieved by the cleaning module 3, which is located on the bottom surface 12 of the body 1. The cleaning module 3 is used to mop the floor. The cleaning module 3 can also be called a mopping module.

[0111] Cleaning modules 3 can be broadly categorized into disc-type, roller-type, and track-type cleaning modules based on their shape. Each cleaning module 3 typically includes a movable cleaning component 32. The movement of the cleaning module 3 relative to the machine body 1 usually refers to the movement of the cleaning component 32 relative to the machine body 1. When the cleaning component 32 moves relative to the machine body 1, it contacts the ground to mop. For example, the cleaning component 32 can be a rag. In disc-type cleaning modules, the cleaning component 32 is typically a disc-shaped rag. In roller-type cleaning modules, the cleaning component 32 is typically a roller-shaped rag. In track-type cleaning modules, the cleaning components 32 are connected end-to-end, forming a track-like flat structure; this type of cleaning component 32 can be called a track-type rag.

[0112] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The cleaning module 3 shown is a roller-type cleaning module, and Figure 2 This is merely an illustration of the position of the cleaning module 3 relative to the body 1, and does not constitute a limitation on the structure of the cleaning module 3.

[0113] Compared to disc-type and roller-type rags, tracked rags have advantages such as a larger mopping area, stronger pressure on the ground, and a better mopping effect, which has led to the widespread use of tracked cleaning modules in cleaning equipment 100.

[0114] A tracked cleaning module typically includes a cleaning module and a mounting component 31. The cleaning module includes a cleaning component 32 and a support assembly 33. The mounting component 31 has a receiving cavity 311 with an opening 312. The support assembly 33 is disposed within the receiving cavity 311 through the opening 312 and is connected to the mounting component 31. The cleaning component 32 is fitted onto the support assembly 33, and the cleaning components 32 are joined end-to-end in the circumferential direction of the cleaning assembly to form a ring structure. This ring structure can be considered as a tracked, flat structure. The support assembly 33 supports the inner circumferential side of the cleaning component 32. When a portion of the support assembly 33 rotates relative to the mounting component 31, it can drive the cleaning component 32 to move and mop the floor.

[0115] Users need to remove the cleaning module from the mounting bracket 31 to facilitate cleaning of the cleaning component 32. However, in existing tracked cleaning modules, the installation and removal of the cleaning module within the mounting bracket 31 is quite difficult, affecting the user experience.

[0116] In existing tracked cleaning modules, the cleaning module is typically installed on the mounting bracket by having slots on both sides along the length of the mounting bracket. These slots are positioned opposite the two ends of the cleaning module, with each end of the cleaning module engaging with its corresponding slot. Disassembling the cleaning module requires the user to simultaneously insert both hands into the slots and apply pressure to the module to release the engagement and detach it from the mounting bracket, making the installation and removal of the cleaning module within the mounting bracket quite difficult.

[0117] Therefore, this application provides a cleaning module, which includes a mounting component, a motor assembly, a cleaning module, and a first button. The mounting component has a first snap-fit ​​opening, the motor assembly or mounting component has a first limiting portion, and the support assembly has a first mating portion. The first mating portion and the first limiting portion are interlocked, allowing the user to initially position the cleaning module within the mounting component by first interlocking the first mating portion with the first limiting portion when installing the cleaning module with one hand. Furthermore, the first button is designed to extend and retract relative to the support assembly under external force, allowing the user to press the cleaning module after initial positioning. During subsequent installation, the first button retracts, facilitating partial insertion into the first snap-fit ​​opening, thus enabling one-handed installation of the cleaning module within the mounting component.

[0118] When disassembling the cleaning module, the user only needs to press the first button with one hand to retract it. During the retraction process, the button will disengage from the first latch and then the first mating part will be pulled out from the first limiting part. This will completely disconnect the cleaning module from the mounting part and remove the cleaning module from the mounting part. This allows the user to assemble and disassemble the cleaning module in the mounting part with one hand, thus improving the user experience.

[0119] Therefore, by setting up a cleaning module in the cleaning equipment, the user can not only assemble and disassemble the cleaning module with one hand while the cleaning equipment has a mopping function, but also improve the user experience.

[0120] The structure of the cleaning module provided in the embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0121] Figure 3 and Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a cleaning module 3 is shown from different perspectives.

[0122] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cleaning module 3 is a tracked cleaning module. The cleaning module 3 includes a mounting component 31, which is connected to the machine body 1 to achieve the connection between the cleaning module 3 and the machine body 1. The mounting component 31 is a mounting bracket for the cleaning module 3 on the machine body 1.

[0123] When the mounting component 31 is connected to the fuselage 1, the mounting component 31 can be disposed on the bottom surface 12 of the fuselage 1. For example, the fuselage 1 has a mounting cavity on the bottom surface 12, and the mounting component 31 can be disposed in the mounting cavity and connected to the fuselage 1.

[0124] The connection between the mounting component 31 and the main body 1 can be either a fixed connection or a movable connection. A fixed connection between the mounting component 31 and the main body 1 means that the positions of the mounting component 31 and the main body 1 do not move relative to each other. A movable connection between the mounting component 31 and the main body 1 means that the positions of the mounting component 31 and the main body 1 can move relative to each other. This movement includes, but is not limited to, moving the mounting component 31 relative to the main body 1 along the width direction x or the height direction, so that when the mounting component 31 moves relative to the main body 1, it enables the cleaning module 3 to have a better mopping effect or other functions. For example, when the mounting component 31 moves in the width direction x relative to the main body 1, it enables the cleaning module 3 to have a better edge mopping effect. As another example, when the mounting component 31 moves in the height direction z relative to the main body 1, it enables the cleaning module 3 to have a sweeping-only effect.

[0125] It should be noted that, therefore, the specific connection method between the mounting component 31 and the body 1 is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For details, please refer to the connection method between the mounting component 31 and the body 1 in the existing cleaning equipment 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0126] When the mounting component 31 is located on the bottom surface 12 of the fuselage 1, the length direction a of the mounting component 31 is parallel to the width direction x of the fuselage 1, the width direction b of the mounting component 31 is parallel to the front-rear direction y of the fuselage 1, and the thickness direction c of the mounting component 31 is parallel to the height direction z of the fuselage 1.

[0127] Figure 5 for Figure 3 Exploded view of Cleaning Module 3.

[0128] See Figure 5 and combined Figure 4 The mounting component 31 has an opening 312 in the receiving cavity 311, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 has a first fastening opening 313.

[0129] See Figure 5 and combined Figure 4 The cleaning module 3 also includes a motor assembly 34. The motor assembly 34 or mounting part 31 has a first limiting part 3423. Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the motor assembly 34 having a first limiting part 3423. The following text takes the first limiting part 3423 being provided on the motor assembly 34 as an example to further explain the structure of the cleaning module 3.

[0130] See Figure 5 The cleaning module 3 also includes a cleaning module, which includes a cleaning component 32 and a support component 33. The cleaning component 32 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the support component 33 so that the support component 33 can be supported on the circumferential inner side of the cleaning component 32. For example, the cleaning component 32 can be a rag or the like.

[0131] Specifically, the support assembly 33 includes a first transmission member 331, which is supported on the circumferential inner side of the cleaning member 32 and is rotatable. The first transmission member 331 has a first mating portion 3311, at least a portion of the support assembly 33 is disposed within the receiving cavity 311, and the first mating portion 3311 is inserted into the first limiting portion 3423 to achieve a detachable connection between the side of the support assembly 33 with the first mating portion 3311 and the motor assembly 34 or the mounting member 31.

[0132] It should be noted that, since the motor assembly 34 is connected to the mounting part 31, when the first limiting part 3423 is located on the motor assembly 34 and the first mating part 3311 is inserted into the first limiting part 3423, the side of the support assembly 33 with the first mating part 3311 can still be detachably connected to the mounting part 31.

[0133] The first transmission member 331 is configured to rotate under the drive of the motor assembly 34 and drive the cleaning member 32 to rotate, so that the cleaning member 32 can rotate relative to the mounting member 31 under the drive of the first transmission member 331, so that the cleaning member 32 can mop the floor when it comes into contact with the ground.

[0134] See Figure 5 When the mounting component 31 is located on the bottom surface 12 of the body 1, the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311 faces away from the body 1, so that the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311 can face the ground. Thus, when the cleaning component 32 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the support component 33 and the support component 33 is located inside the receiving cavity 311, the cleaning component 32 can face the ground, so that the cleaning component 32 can mop the ground when it rotates and comes into contact with the ground.

[0135] See Figure 5 The motor assembly 34 includes a motor 341. The output of the motor 341 can be connected to the first transmission member 331 so that the motor 341 can drive the first transmission member 331 to rotate when it starts.

[0136] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, in addition to the motor 341, the motor assembly 34 also includes a reducer 342. The input terminals of the motor 341 and the reducer 342 are connected, and the output terminal of the reducer 342 is connected to the first transmission member 331. Thus, when the motor 341 starts, the motor 341 can drive the first transmission member 331 to rotate via the reducer 342. In this application, the types of motor 341 and reducer 342 are not specifically limited.

[0137] The motor 341 and at least part of the reducer 342 can be located outside the receiving cavity 311 and connected to the mounting member 31 to realize the installation of the motor assembly 34 on the mounting member 31. Specifically, the installation position and connection method of the motor 341 and reducer 342 on the mounting member 31 can be determined based on the existing cleaning equipment 100, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0138] Figure 6 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning module 3 without the cleaning component 32. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A partial structural diagram of cleaning module 3 from another perspective. Figure 7 Removed from Figure 6 Housing 3421 of medium speed reducer 342.

[0139] See Figures 5 to 7 To facilitate the installation and removal of the cleaning module within the mounting component 31, the cleaning module 3 also includes a button assembly, which includes a first button 35. The first button 35 and the first mating portion 3311 are located on opposite sides of the support component 33 along its length. The first button 35 is configured to extend and retract relative to the support component 33 under external force, allowing the first button 35 to have both an inwardly retracted and an outwardly convex state relative to the support component 33. The support component 33 is parallel to the length direction a of the mounting component 31 along its length.

[0140] The first button 35 is configured to extend or retract relative to the support component 33 under the action of an external force, meaning that the first button 35 can contract or extend relative to the support component 33. The retracted state of the first button 35 refers to the state in which the first button 35 is retracted relative to the support component 33 under the action of an external force. The convex state of the first button 35 refers to the state in which the first button 35 is extended relative to the support component 33 under the action of an external force.

[0141] Figure 8 for Figure 7 A partial schematic diagram of the cleaning module 3 at the location of the first button 35. Figure 9 for Figure 6 A schematic diagram illustrating the installation process of the cleaning module 3 within the mounting component 31 on the support assembly 33. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A partial schematic diagram of the cleaning module 3 at the location of the first button 35. Figure 11 for Figure 7 A partial cross-sectional view of the cleaning module 3 in the AA direction. Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the middle, the support component 33 is not yet fully installed in the mounting component 31 at the end where the first button component 35 is located.

[0142] See Figure 8 and Figure 11 The first button component 35 is in a convex state. See also... Figure 9 and Figure 10 The first button 35 has been compressed into an inward state by external force. Compared to the inward state, when the first button 35 is in an outward convex state, more of the first button 35 will be exposed outside the support assembly 33 along its length. The length direction of the support assembly 33 is parallel to the length direction a of the mounting member 31.

[0143] See Figure 11 and combined Figure 8 When the support component 33 is located in the accommodating cavity 311: the first button 35 is in an outward convex state, a part of the first button 35 is inserted into the first fastening port 313, and the other part of the first button 35 is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting component 31.

[0144] It should be noted that when the support component 33 is located within the receiving cavity 311, it means that the support component 33 is located within the receiving cavity 311 and connected to the mounting member 31. When a portion of the first button component 35 is also exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member 31, it means that when there is no obstruction on the outer surface of the mounting member 31, a portion of the first button component 35 can be seen from the outer surface of the mounting member 31.

[0145] This embodiment of the application achieves detachable installation of the support component 33 within the mounting member 31 by having at least a portion of the support component 33 disposed within the receiving cavity 311, the first mating portion 3311 being inserted into the first limiting portion 3423, and a portion of the first button component 35 being inserted into the first fastening opening 313 when the support component 33 is disposed within the receiving cavity 311. Since the cleaning component 32 is sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the support component 33, when the support component 33 is installed within the mounting member 31, the cleaning component 32 can be installed within the mounting member 31 with the aid of the support component 33, allowing the cleaning component 32 to rotate under the first transmission and to mop the floor when it contacts the ground.

[0146] Figure 12 for Figure 9 A partial cross-sectional view of the cleaning module 3 in the BB direction. Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the installation process of a cleaning module within mounting component 31 is shown.

[0147] See Figure 12 and Figure 13 By connecting the first mating part 3311 with the first limiting part 3423, the user can first connect the first mating part 3311 with the first limiting part 3423 when installing the cleaning module with one hand, so as to initially position the cleaning module in the mounting part 31.

[0148] See Figure 11 Then, by inserting one end of the first button 35 into the first snap-fit ​​opening 313, the user can install the cleaning module in the mounting part 31 with one hand.

[0149] See Figure 12 The first button 35 can extend and retract relative to the support component 33 under the action of external force, so that after the user inserts the first mating part 3311 and the first limiting part 3423, he can press the cleaning module so that when the first button 35 contacts the mounting part 31 during the subsequent installation process, the mounting part 31 can apply force to the first button 35, so that the first button 35 is compressed and switches from the convex state to the retracted state, so that the first button 35 can move into place in the mounting part 31.

[0150] See Figure 11 When the first button 35 moves into place within the mounting member 31, a portion of the first button 35 is positioned opposite the first snap-fit ​​opening 313. At this time, the first button 35 will reset under the action of the rebound force and switch back to the outward convex state, so that a portion of the first button 35 is inserted into the first snap-fit ​​opening 313, and so that one end of the support assembly 33 where the first button 35 is located is also detachably connected to the mounting member 31, enabling the user to install the cleaning module within the mounting member 31 with one hand.

[0151] See Figure 11 and combined Figure 12 When the support component 33 is located in the accommodating cavity 311, a portion of the first button 35 is still exposed on the outer surface of the mounting component 31. This allows the user to remove the cleaning module without having to insert into the first snap-fit ​​opening 313. The user can simply press the first button 35 with one hand to retract it toward the support component 33, switching it from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state. This allows the portion of the first button 35 located in the first snap-fit ​​opening 313 to disengage from the first snap-fit ​​opening 313.

[0152] Next, the first mating part 3311 is pulled out from the first limiting part 3423, and the cleaning module can be removed from the mounting part 31. This allows the user to install and remove the cleaning module in the mounting part 31 with one hand, thereby improving the user experience.

[0153] In addition, when the first limiting part 3423 is provided on the motor assembly 34, since the first transmission member 331 has a first mating part 3311, when the first mating part 3311 is inserted into the first limiting part 3423 to perform the initial positioning of the cleaning module in the mounting member 31, the connection between the first transmission member 331 and the motor assembly 34 can also be realized so that the motor assembly 34 drives the first transmission member 331 to rotate, thereby simplifying the structure of the cleaning module 3.

[0154] The structure of the cleaning module 3 will be further explained below, taking the example of the first limiting part 3423 being provided on the motor assembly 34.

[0155] When the support component 33 is located in the accommodating cavity 311, part of the first button 35 can also be exposed on the outer surface of the body 1. That is, when there is no obstruction on the outer surface of the body 1, part of the first button 35 can be seen from the outer surface of the body 1, so that the user can disassemble the cleaning module by pressing the first button 35.

[0156] Figure 14 for Figure 7 A partial cross-sectional view of the cleaning module 3 in the CC direction.

[0157] See Figure 14 and combined Figure 5 In this design, one of the first mating part 3311 and the first limiting part 3423 is a groove, and the other is a protrusion. The circumferential outer wall of the protrusion may not be circular. For example, the circumferential outer wall of the protrusion may be quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, etc. The shape of the groove matches the shape of the protrusion, that is, the shape of the groove is the same as or similar to the shape of the protrusion.

[0158] At least a portion of the protrusion is provided within the groove to facilitate the insertion of the first mating part 3311 and the first limiting part 3423. Furthermore, when the first limiting part 3423 is provided on the motor assembly 34, the non-circular outer wall of the protrusion and the matching shape of the groove with the shape of the protrusion not only facilitate the connection between the first transmission member 331 and the motor assembly 34, but also make it easier to assemble and disassemble the support assembly 33 compared to the interference fit between the protrusion and the motor assembly 34 when the protrusion is provided within the groove.

[0159] It should be noted that, Figure 14 and Figure 5 The first mating part 3311 shown is a protrusion, and the first limiting part 3423 is a groove. In other examples, the first mating part 3311 may also be a groove, and the first limiting part 3423 may be a protrusion.

[0160] The structure of the cleaning module 3 will be further explained below, taking the first mating part 3311 as a protrusion and the first limiting part 3423 as a groove as an example.

[0161] See Figure 14 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the motor assembly 34 has a rotating member 3422. The rotating member 3422 can be considered as the output end of the reducer 342. The mounting member 31 has a first clearance groove 314 on one side corresponding to the rotating member 3422. Part of the rotating member 3422 is rotatably disposed within the first clearance groove 314, and the rotating member 3422 has a groove at one end facing into the receiving cavity 311. The groove forms a first limiting portion 3423 so that when the end of the support assembly 33 with the first mating portion 3311 is disposed within the receiving cavity 311, the first mating portion 3311 can be inserted into the first limiting portion 3423.

[0162] The following section, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further elaborates on the structure of the button assembly and the cooperation between the mounting assembly, support assembly 33, and mounting component 31.

[0163] Figure 15 This is a structural schematic diagram of a first button component 35. Figure 16 for Figure 7 A partial cross-sectional view of the cleaning module 3 in the DD direction.

[0164] See Figure 15 and Figure 16 In some embodiments, the first button 35 may include a main body 351 and a fastening portion 352. The main body 351 is elastically connected to the support component 33. The fastening portion 352 is connected to the main body 351, and a portion of the fastening portion 352 protrudes from the side of the main body 351 facing the first fastening opening 313. With this configuration, the first button 35 can achieve an elastic connection with the support component 33 through the main body 351, so that the first button 35 can extend and retract relative to the support component 33 under external force.

[0165] Furthermore, since part of the fastening portion 352 protrudes from the side of the main body portion 351 facing the first fastening opening 313, the fastening portion 352 can preferentially contact the mounting member 31 during the process of the support assembly 33 being disposed in the receiving cavity 311, so that the mounting member 31 can apply force to the fastening portion 352, causing the fastening portion 352 to be stressed and drive the main body portion 351 to move towards the side of the support assembly 33, that is, to realize the retraction of the first button 35, so that the first button 35 switches from the outward convex state to the inward retracted state, so that the first button 35 can move into place in the mounting member 31.

[0166] It should be noted that the process of the support component 33 being placed in the accommodating cavity 311 can be understood as the cleaning module being pressurized, causing the support component 33 to be installed in the accommodating cavity 311.

[0167] When the force applied by the mounting part 31 to the fastening part 352 disappears, the main body part 351 will drive the fastening part 352 to move away from the support component 33 under the action of the rebound force, that is, the first button part 35 is extended, so that the first button part 35 switches from the retracted state to the convex state again.

[0168] See Figure 11 When the support assembly 33 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 311: the first button 35 is in an outwardly convex state, the fastening part 352 is inserted into the first fastening opening 313 and abuts against the inner top wall of the first fastening opening 313, and the main body 351 is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member 31. This arrangement allows the fastening part 352 of the first button 35 to be inserted into the first fastening opening 313, while the fastening part 352 abuts against the inner top wall of the first fastening opening 313. This also restricts the movement of the fastening part 352 towards the opening 312 of the accommodating cavity 311, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the end of the support assembly 33 where the first button 35 is disposed and the mounting member 31.

[0169] Furthermore, when the support assembly 33 is disposed within the receiving cavity 311, the main body 351 is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member 31, allowing a portion of the first button 35 to be exposed on both the mounting member 31 and the outer surface of the body 1. When the user disassembles the cleaning module, pressing the main body 351 causes the first button 35 to retract towards the support assembly 33, switching from an outwardly convex state to an inwardly retracted state. When the first button 35 is in the inwardly retracted state, the latching part 352 disengages from the first latching opening 313, allowing the user to easily disassemble the support assembly 33 with one hand and remove the cleaning module from the mounting member 31.

[0170] See Figure 11 and Figure 15 In some embodiments, the side of the fastening part 352 facing the inner top wall of the first fastening opening 313 can be parallel to the inner top wall of the first fastening opening 313, so that the main body part 351 and the inner top wall of the first fastening opening 313 have a better contact effect, which can further enhance the stability of the connection between the end of the support component 33 where the first button 35 is located and the mounting component 31.

[0171] See Figure 11 In some embodiments, when the fastening part 352 is inserted into the first fastening opening 313, there may be a gap w between the fastening part 352 and the inner bottom wall of the first fastening opening 313. This allows the fastening part 352 to have space to move towards the inner bottom wall of the first fastening opening 313 when it is inserted into the first fastening opening 313, so that when the user presses the main body part 351, the first button 35 retracts towards the support component 33, causing the fastening part 352 to disengage from the first fastening opening 313.

[0172] See Figure 12 and Figure 15 When the support assembly 33 is placed within the receiving cavity 311, the fastening part 352 is configured to abut against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 and drive the main body 351 to move towards the support assembly 33, causing the first button 35 to switch from an outwardly convex state to an inwardly retracted state. This configuration allows the end of the support assembly 33 with the first button 35 to be located within the receiving cavity 311, and the first button 35 can move within the mounting member 31 to a position where the fastening part 352 is opposite to the first fastening opening 313. Thus, when the force exerted on the fastening part 352 by the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 disappears, the first button 35, under the action of a rebound force, will move away from the support assembly 33, causing the first button 35 to switch back to the outwardly convex state, and the fastening part 352 to insert into the first fastening opening 313.

[0173] Figure 17 A partial schematic diagram of a mounting member 31 on the side having a first fastening opening 313 is shown.

[0174] See Figure 12 , Figure 15 and Figure 17 In some embodiments, the fastening portion 352 has a first guide surface 3521 on the side opposite to the support assembly 33, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 has a first mating surface 316. The first mating surface 316 is located on the side of the first fastening opening 313 facing the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311, that is, the first mating surface 316 is located above the first fastening opening 313.

[0175] The first mating surface 316 is configured to abut against the first guide surface 3521 during the process of the support component 33 being disposed within the receiving cavity 311, so that the fastening part 352 moves along the first mating surface 316 toward the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311 while also moving toward one side of the support component 33. With this configuration, during the process of the support component 33 being disposed within the receiving cavity 311, the engagement of the first mating surface 316 and the first guide surface 3521 allows the first mating surface 316 to apply force to the first guide surface 3521, driving the fastening part 352 to move toward one side of the support component 33, and simultaneously moving the main body 351, causing the first button 35 to switch from an outwardly convex state to an inwardly retracted state.

[0176] It should be understood that as the support assembly 33 continues to move (continues to move downwards) towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311 during its placement within the cavity 311, when the support assembly 33 moves to the point where the first guide surface 3521 disengages from the first mating surface 316, the force exerted by the first mating surface 316 on the fastening part 352 will disappear. Under the action of the rebound force, the main body 351 will drive the fastening part 352 to move away from the support assembly 33, causing the first button 35 to switch back to the convex state, and the fastening part 352 to be inserted into the first fastening opening 313. Throughout the entire process of the first mating surface 316 exerting force on the fastening part 352, the state of the first button 35 can be understood as the retracted state.

[0177] See Figure 17 The first mating surface 316 is a first inclined surface. The top edge of the first inclined surface is adjacent to the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311, and the bottom edge of the first inclined surface is adjacent to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311. The top edge of the first inclined surface is inclined outwards from the receiving cavity 311 relative to the bottom edge. The first guide surface 3521 is parallel to the first mating surface 316, meaning that the first guide surface 3521 is also an inclined surface. Thus, during the process of the support assembly 33 being placed inside the receiving cavity 311, the first mating surface 316 abuts against the first guide surface 3521. As the support assembly 33 continues to move towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311, the first mating surface 316 will engage with the first guide surface 3521, causing the fastening part 352 to move along itself (the first mating surface 316) towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311 while also moving towards one side of the support assembly 33, thereby achieving the switching of the first button 35 from an outwardly convex state to an inwardly retracted state.

[0178] It should be noted that, in this application, the tilt angle of the first tilting surface is not specifically limited.

[0179] See Figure 11 and Figure 15 In some embodiments, the fastening portion 352 may be located on the side of the main body 351 facing the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311. Of course, in other embodiments, the fastening portion 352 may also be located on the side of the main body 351 facing the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311.

[0180] Compared to the side of the main body 351 facing the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311, when the fastening part 352 is located on the side of the main body 351 facing the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311, the fastening part 352 can contact the mounting part 31 (first mating surface 316) earlier during the process of the support assembly 33 being placed in the receiving cavity 311. This provides a certain guiding effect for the installation of the first button 35 in the receiving cavity 311, so that after the first button 35 is moved into place, the fastening part 352 can be opposite to the first fastening opening 313.

[0181] The structure of the cleaning module 3 will be further explained below, taking the fastening part 352 located on the side of the bottom wall of the main body 351 facing the receiving cavity 311 as an example.

[0182] See Figure 17 In some embodiments, the outer surface of the mounting member 31 has a second clearance groove 315 at a position opposite to the main body 351. The second clearance groove 315 communicates with the receiving cavity 311. A portion of the main body 351 is disposed in the second clearance groove 315, so that while the main body 351 is disposed in the receiving cavity 311, a portion of the main body 351 can also be exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member 31 through the second clearance groove 315, so that the user can press and disassemble the cleaning module.

[0183] See Figure 15 and Figure 17 In some embodiments, the number of fastening portions 352 is two or more. For example, the number of fastening portions 352 can be two, three, etc. Two or more fastening portions 352 are spaced apart along the width direction b of the mounting member 31. The mounting member 31 has a first fastening opening 313 at the position corresponding to each fastening portion 352. With this arrangement, when the support assembly 33 is disposed within the receiving cavity 311, each fastening portion 352 can be inserted into the corresponding first fastening opening 313, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the end of the support assembly 33 with the first button 35 and the mounting member 31.

[0184] It should be noted that when there are two or more fastening parts 352, the mounting part 31 is also provided with a first mating surface 316 at the position corresponding to each fastening part 352, so that when the support component 33 is placed in the accommodating cavity 311, the first guide surface 3521 of each fastening part 352 can contact the corresponding first mating surface 316.

[0185] See Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the support component 33 may further include a second transmission member 332 and an intermediate structural member 333, with the first transmission member 331, the intermediate structural member 333, and the second transmission member 332 arranged sequentially along the width direction b of the mounting member 31. Both the first transmission member 331 and the second transmission member 332 are supported on the circumferential inner side of the cleaning member 32, and both can rotate relative to the intermediate structural member 333. Thus, when the cleaning member 32 rotates, it drives the second transmission member 332 to rotate. The arrangement of the first transmission member 331 and the second transmission member 332 ensures that the cleaning member 32 rotates to achieve the mopping function while enhancing the support effect of the support component 33 on the cleaning member 32.

[0186] It should be noted that, while ensuring that both the first transmission member 331 and the second transmission member 332 can rotate relative to the intermediate structural member 333, the intermediate structural member 333 can connect the first transmission member 331 and the second transmission member 332. This ensures that when the first transmission member 331 and the second transmission member 332 rotate, the distance between them along the width direction b of the mounting member 31 remains constant, thereby ensuring that the cleaning member 32 maintains a constant installation position within the mounting member 31 during rotation. For example, the intermediate structural member 333 can be connected to the first transmission member 331 and the second transmission member 332 via pins. The connection method between the intermediate structural member 333 and the first transmission member 331 and the second transmission member 332 can be determined based on the structure of existing cleaning equipment 100 (such as a robotic vacuum cleaner), and will not be elaborated further in this application.

[0187] See Figure 16 The intermediate structural member 333 has a first mounting cavity 3331 on the side facing the first button member 35. A portion of the main body 351 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 3331 and is elastically connected to the intermediate structural member 333 to achieve an elastic connection between the main body 351 and the support component 33.

[0188] See Figure 16 As an example, the button component may also include a first elastic element 37. Figure 16 The first elastic element 37 shown is a spring, but this does not limit the structure of the first elastic element 37. For example, the first elastic element 37 can also be compressible rubber, etc. The first elastic element 37 is located in the first mounting cavity 3331 and abuts against the intermediate structural member 333 and the main body 351. The first elastic element 37 enables an elastic connection between the main body 351 and the intermediate structural member 333.

[0189] Furthermore, due to the compressibility of the first elastic member 37, when the main body 351 moves relative to the intermediate structural member 333 within the first mounting cavity 3331, the first button member 35 can switch between an outward convex state and an inward retracted state.

[0190] For example, see Figure 12 and Figure 16 When the main body 351 moves toward the side of the intermediate structure 333 under the action of the fastening part 352, the main body 351 moves relative to the intermediate structure 333 in the first mounting cavity 3331 to compress the first elastic member 37, so that the first button member 35 switches from the convex state to the retracted state.

[0191] For example, see Figure 11 and Figure 16When the first guide surface 3521 disengages from the first mating surface 316, the main body 351 will also move relative to the intermediate structure 333 in the first mounting cavity 3331 towards the side away from the intermediate structure 333 under the action of the rebound force of the first elastic member 37, and drive the fastening part 352 to move at the same time, so that the first button 35 switches from the retracted state to the convex state again.

[0192] See Figure 16 In some embodiments, the first mounting cavity 3331 and the main body 351 may each be provided with a protruding first limiting post 3511 on opposite sides. When the first elastic member 37 abuts between the intermediate structural member 333 and the main body 351, both ends of the first elastic member 37 are respectively sleeved on the two first limiting posts 3511. In this way, the provision of the first limiting posts 3511 can also prevent the first elastic member 37 from undergoing large positional displacement during extension and retraction, so that when the main body 351 is driven by the rebound force of the first elastic member 37 to move the fastening part 352 away from the intermediate structural member 333, the fastening part 352 can be inserted into the first fastening opening 313.

[0193] See Figure 12 and Figure 16 In some embodiments, the main body 351 may also have a stop protrusion 3512, a portion of which is located within the first mounting cavity 3331. The intermediate structural member 333 also has an abutment portion 3332, located on the side of the stop protrusion 3512 facing the first fastening opening 313. For example... Figure 16 As shown, when the first button 35 is in an outward convex state, the stop protrusion 3512 abuts against the abutting portion 3332. The abutting portion 3332 can restrict the main body 351 from driving the fastening portion 352 to continue moving away from the middle structural member 333, so as to ensure that when the first button 35 is in an outward convex state, the fastening portion 352 can just be inserted into the first fastening opening 313.

[0194] It should be noted that when the first button 35 is in the retracted state, the stop protrusion 3512 disengages from the abutting part 3332, that is, the stop protrusion 3512 does not contact the abutting part 3332.

[0195] See Figure 16 The intermediate structural member 333 may have a first engaging groove 3333, which communicates with the first mounting cavity 3331. A portion of the stop protrusion 3512 is located within the first engaging groove 3333. Along the moving direction of the main body 351, the first engaging groove 3333 forms an abutment portion 3332 facing the groove wall of the stop protrusion 3512, ensuring that when the main body 351 moves away from the intermediate structural member 333 under the action of a rebound force, the stop protrusion 3512 can abut against the abutment portion 3332. The moving direction of the main body 351 may be parallel to the length direction a of the mounting member 31.

[0196] Figure 18 for Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning module 3 having a shield 39 on the first fastening opening 313.

[0197] See Figure 18 In some embodiments, the cleaning module 3 may further include a shielding member 39, which is disposed on the outside of the mounting member 31 and shields the first snap-fit ​​opening 313. This prevents the first snap-fit ​​opening 313 and the snap-fit ​​part 352 from being exposed on the outer surface of the mounting member 31 without affecting the user's pressing of the main body 351, thereby enhancing the aesthetics of the cleaning module 3. For example, the shielding member 39 may be a shielding plate. The shielding member 39 may be connected to the mounting member 31 by means of snap-fit, adhesive, or other methods, so that the shielding member 39 is disposed on the outside of the mounting member 31.

[0198] It should be noted that when the cleaning module 3 is mounted on the body 1, the first fastening port 313 can also be mounted on the body 1. This requires a structure on the mounting member 31 that avoids the fastening part 352, so that the fastening part 352 can pass through the mounting member 31 and be inserted into the first fastening port 313. At the same time, the main body 351 can also be exposed on the body 1, so that the user can press the main body 351 when removing the cleaning module.

[0199] The following text will further elaborate on the structure of the cleaning module 3, taking the first snap-fit ​​opening 313 located on the mounting part 31 as an example.

[0200] Figure 19 A schematic diagram of the structure of a second button component 36 is shown.

[0201] See Figure 16 and Figure 19 In some embodiments, the button assembly may further include a second button 36, with the second button 36 and the first mating portion 3311 spaced apart on the same side of the support assembly 33 along the width direction of the support assembly 33. In this case, the second button 36 and the first button 35 are located on opposite sides of the support assembly 33 in the length direction. The width direction of the support assembly 33 is parallel to the width direction b of the mounting member 31. Furthermore, the second button 36 can extend and retract relative to the support assembly 33, so that the second button 36 has an inwardly retracted state and an outwardly convex state relative to the support assembly 33.

[0202] Figure 16 The second button 36 shown is in a convex state. Compared to the retracted state, when the second button 36 is in the convex state, more of the second button 36 is exposed outside the support assembly 33 along the length direction of the support assembly 33.

[0203] See Figure 16The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 or the motor assembly 34 is provided with a second fastening port 317, which is opposite to the second button 36. When the support assembly 33 is located in the receiving cavity 311: the second button 36 is in an outward convex state and is inserted into the second fastening port 317, abutting against the inner top wall of the second fastening port 317, so that the second button 36 is inserted into the second fastening port 317. In this way, the support assembly 33, in addition to being connected to the mounting member 31 through the first button 35, can also enhance the stability of the support assembly 33 and the cleaning module installed in the mounting member 31 through the insertion of the second button 36 into the second fastening port 317.

[0204] Furthermore, the second button 36 is designed to extend and retract relative to the support component 33, so that when the user presses the cleaning module, the second button 36 contacts the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 or the motor assembly 34 during subsequent installation. The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 or the motor assembly 34 will apply force to the second button 36, causing the second button 36 to retract under force, switching from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state, so that the second button 36 can move into place within the mounting component 31.

[0205] When the second button 36 moves into place within the mounting member 31, a portion of the second button 36 is positioned opposite the second snap-fit ​​opening 317. At this time, the second button 36 will reset under the action of a rebound force and switch back to the convex state, so that a portion of the second button 36 is inserted into the second snap-fit ​​opening 317, allowing the support assembly 33 to also detachably connect one end of the second button 36 to the mounting member 31, enabling the user to install the cleaning module within the mounting member 31 with one hand.

[0206] It should be noted that when the user disassembles the cleaning module with one hand, causing the part of the first button 35 located in the first latching opening 313 to come out of the first latching opening 313, the user can act on the support component 33 to disengage the second button 36 from the second latching opening 317, and then pull the first mating part 3311 out from the first limiting part 3423, so that the cleaning module can be removed from the mounting part 31.

[0207] Figure 16 The second engagement port 317 shown is located on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311. When the second engagement port 317 is located on the motor assembly 34, the second engagement port 317 can be located on the housing 3421 of the reducer 342. In this case, the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 will have a clearance structure at the position corresponding to the second engagement port 317, so that the second button 36 can pass through the mounting member 31 and be inserted into the second engagement port 317.

[0208] It should be noted that when the cleaning module 3 is mounted on the body 1, the second fastening port 317 can also be mounted on the body 1. In this case, a clearance structure needs to be provided on both the mounting part 31 and the motor assembly 34 so that the second button part 36 can pass through the mounting part 31 and the motor assembly 34 and be inserted into the second fastening port 317. For example, the clearance structure can be a hollow structure.

[0209] The following text mainly uses the example of the second snap-fit ​​opening 317 being located on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 to further illustrate the structure of the cleaning module 3.

[0210] See Figure 16 In some embodiments, when the support assembly 33 is disposed within the receiving cavity 311, the second button 36 has space within the second latching opening 317 to move toward the inner bottom wall of the second latching opening 317. Thus, when the portion of the first button 35 located within the first latching opening 313 disengages from the first latching opening 313, the user can apply force to the support assembly 33 to lift (raise) the end of the support assembly 33 with the first button 35 away from the mounting member 31. The end of the support assembly 33 with the second button 36 will then move within the second latching opening 317 toward the inner bottom wall of the second latching opening 317, making it easier for the second button 36 to disengage from the second latching opening 317 and further reducing the difficulty of disassembling the cleaning module.

[0211] See Figure 16 and Figure 19 The second button 36 has a connecting end 361 and a fastening end 362 in the telescopic direction. The connecting end 361 is elastically connected to the support component 33 to realize the elastic connection between the second button 36 and the support component 33, so that the second button 36 can telescopic relative to the support component 33 under external force, realizing the switching between the second button 36 in the convex state and the retracted state.

[0212] See Figure 16 and Figure 19 When the support assembly 33 is located within the receiving cavity 311: the engaging end 362 is located within the second engaging opening 317 and abuts against the inner top wall of the second engaging opening 317. This arrangement allows the second button 36 to be inserted into the second engaging opening 317, while the engaging end 362 abuts against the inner top wall of the second engaging opening 317. This also restricts the movement of the second button 36 towards the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the end of the support assembly 33 where the second button 36 is located and the mounting member 31.

[0213] As the support assembly 33 is positioned within the receiving cavity 311, the engaging end 362 abuts against the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311, causing the second button 36 to switch from an outwardly convex state to an inwardly retracted state. This arrangement allows the end of the support assembly 33 with the second button 36 to be positioned within the receiving cavity 311, and the second button 36 to be movable within the mounting member 31 to a position opposite to the second engaging opening 317. When the force exerted on the engaging end 362 by the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 disappears, the second button 36, under the action of a rebound force, will move away from the support assembly 33, causing the second button 36 to switch back to the outwardly convex state, and the engaging end 362 to insert into the second engaging opening 317.

[0214] See Figure 16 and Figure 19 The side of the snap-fit ​​end 362 facing away from the connecting end 361 may have a second guide surface 3621, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 has a second mating surface 318. The second mating surface 318 is located on the side of the second snap-fit ​​opening 317 facing the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311, that is, the second mating surface 318 is located above the second snap-fit ​​opening 317.

[0215] The second mating surface 318 is configured to abut against the second guide surface 3621 during the process of the support component 33 being disposed within the receiving cavity 311, so that the fastening end 362 moves along the second mating surface 318 toward the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311 while also moving toward one side of the support component 33. With this configuration, during the process of the support component 33 being disposed within the receiving cavity 311, the engagement of the second mating surface 318 and the second guide surface 3621 allows the second mating surface 318 to apply force to the second guide surface 3621, driving the fastening end 362 to move toward one side of the support component 33, and simultaneously causing the connecting end 361 to move, thus switching the second button 36 from an outwardly convex state to an inwardly retracted state.

[0216] It should be understood that as the support assembly 33 continues to move (continues to move downwards) towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311 during its placement within the cavity 311, when the support assembly 33 moves to the point where the second guide surface 3621 disengages from the second mating surface 318, the force exerted by the second mating surface 318 on the fastening end 362 will disappear. Under the action of the rebound force, the connecting end 361 will drive the fastening end 362 to move away from the support assembly 33, causing the second button 36 to switch back to the convex state, and the fastening end 362 to be inserted into the second fastening port 317. Throughout the entire process of the second mating surface 318 exerting force on the fastening end 362, the state of the second button 36 can be understood as the retracted state.

[0217] See Figure 16In some embodiments, the second mating surface 318 is a second inclined surface, with the top edge of the second inclined surface adjacent to the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311 and the bottom edge of the second inclined surface adjacent to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311. The top edge of the second inclined surface is inclined toward the outside of the receiving cavity 311 relative to the bottom edge of the second inclined surface.

[0218] The second guide surface 3621 is parallel to the second mating surface 318. That is, the second guide surface 3621 is also an inclined surface. Thus, during the process of the support component 33 being disposed in the receiving cavity 311, the second mating surface 318 will abut against the second guide surface 3621. As the support component 33 continues to move towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311, the second mating surface 318 will engage with the second guide surface 3621, causing the snap-fit ​​end 362 to move along itself (the second mating surface 318) towards the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311, while also moving towards one side of the support component 33, thereby realizing the switching of the second button 36 from an outward convex state to an inward retracted state.

[0219] It should be noted that, in this application, the tilt angle of the second tilting surface is not specifically limited.

[0220] See Figure 16 and Figure 19 In some embodiments, to facilitate the disengagement of the fastening end 362 from the second fastening opening 317, the fastening end 362 also has a third guide surface 3622. The top edge of the third guide surface 3622 is inclined outwards towards the accommodating cavity 311 relative to its bottom edge. The inner top wall of the second fastening opening 317 may also have a third inclined surface 320. The third inclined surface 320 is parallel to the third guide surface 3622.

[0221] When the support component 33 is located within the accommodating cavity 311, the third guide surface 3622 abuts against the inner top wall of the third inclined surface 320. Thus, when disassembling the cleaning module, the cooperation between the third inclined surface 320 and the third guide surface 3622 guides the second button 36 as it disengages from the second latching opening 317, further reducing the difficulty of disassembling the cleaning module and making the disassembly of the cleaning module easier.

[0222] It should be noted that, in this application, the tilt angle of the third tilting surface 320 is not specifically limited.

[0223] See Figure 16 and Figure 19 In some embodiments, the intermediate structural member 333 has a second mounting cavity 3332 on the side facing the second button member 36, and the connecting end 361 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 3332 and elastically connected to the intermediate structural member 333 to realize the elastic connection between the second button member 36 and the support component 33.

[0224] As an example, the button component may also include a second elastic element 38. Figure 16 The second elastic element 38 shown is a spring, but this does not limit the structure of the second elastic element 38. For example, the second elastic element 38 can also be compressible rubber, etc. The second elastic element 38 is located in the second mounting cavity 3332 and abuts against the intermediate structural member 333 and the connecting end 361. The elastic connection between the main body 351 and the intermediate structural member 333 can be achieved by the second elastic element 38. Furthermore, due to the compressibility of the second elastic element 38, when the connecting end 361 moves relative to the intermediate structural member 333 in the first mounting cavity 3331, the second button 36 can be switched between an outward convex state and an inward retracted state.

[0225] For example, see Figure 16 When the second guide surface 3621 abuts against the second mating surface 318, causing the connecting end 361 to move toward one side of the intermediate structural member 333 under the drive of the fastening end 362, the connecting end 361 will compress the first elastic member 37, so that the second button member 36 switches from the convex state to the retracted state.

[0226] For example, when the second guide surface 3621 disengages from the second mating surface 318, the connecting end 361 will also move relative to the intermediate structure 333 in the second mounting cavity 3332 towards the side away from the intermediate structure 333 under the action of the rebound force of the second elastic member 38, and drive the connecting end 361 to move at the same time, so that the first button member 35 switches from the retracted state to the convex state again.

[0227] See Figure 16 In some embodiments, the second mounting cavity 3332 and the connecting end 361 may each be provided with a protruding second limiting post 3611 on opposite sides. When the second elastic member 38 abuts between the intermediate structural member 333 and the connecting end 361, both ends of the second elastic member 38 are respectively sleeved on the two second limiting posts 3611. In this way, the setting of the second limiting posts 3611 can also prevent the second elastic member 38 from undergoing large positional displacement during extension and retraction, so that when the connecting end 361 is driven by the rebound force of the second elastic member 38 to move the fastening end 362 toward the side away from the intermediate structural member 333, the fastening end 362 can be inserted into the second fastening port 317.

[0228] See Figure 8 and Figure 18In some embodiments, the support assembly 33 has an assembly portion 334 at its longitudinal end, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 311 has a guide groove 319 at a position corresponding to the assembly portion 334. The bottom of the guide groove 319 is adjacent to the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311, and the opening of the guide groove 319 faces the opening 312 of the receiving cavity 311. When the support assembly 33 is placed in the receiving cavity 311, the assembly portion 334 is positioned within the guide groove 319 through the opening and moves towards the bottom of the guide groove 319. This arrangement allows the movement of the assembly portion 334 within the guide groove 319 to reposition the support assembly 33 on the mounting member 31.

[0229] When installing the cleaning module, after inserting the first mating part 3311 into the first limiting part 3423 and the partial assembly part 334 into the corresponding guide groove 319, the user only needs to apply a downward external force to the cleaning module and press it. This ensures that as the user presses the cleaning module and moves it toward the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 311, the first guide surface 3521 of the first button 35 abuts against the corresponding first mating surface 316, and the second guide surface 3621 of the second button 36 abuts against the corresponding second mating surface 318. This allows the first button 35 to be inserted into the corresponding first snap-fit ​​port 313, and the second button 36 to be inserted into the corresponding first snap-fit ​​port 313, thus completing the installation of the cleaning module.

[0230] See Figure 18 In some embodiments, the diameter v of the guide groove 319 at the opening can be greater than the diameter of the guide groove 319 at the bottom. For example, both the diameter v at the opening and the diameter at the bottom of the guide groove 319 can be understood as the width of the guide groove 319; that is, the width of the guide groove 319 at the opening is smaller than the width of the guide groove 319 at the bottom. This allows the guide groove 319 to have a large opening and a small interior, so that while the assembly part 334 is positioned within the guide groove 319 through the opening, the shaking of the assembly part 334 within the guide groove 319 can be reduced. For example, the guide groove 319 can be a "V" shape or a groove similar to a "V" shape.

[0231] It should be noted that the assembly part 334 can be located on the intermediate structural member 333.

[0232] There can be multiple assembly parts 334. Some of the assembly parts 334 are connected to the first transmission member 331, and the remaining assembly parts 334 are connected to the second transmission member 332. Along the length of the support assembly 33, the multiple assembly parts 334 can be distributed at both ends of the support assembly 33. For example, along the length of the support assembly 33, the multiple assembly parts 334 can be distributed at both ends of the intermediate structural member 333. The mounting member 31 is provided with guide grooves 319 at the positions corresponding to each assembly part 334, so that each assembly part 334 can enter the corresponding guide groove 319, enhancing the positioning effect of the support assembly 33 on the mounting member 31.

[0233] See Figure 8 The plurality of assembly parts 334 include a first assembly part 3341, a second assembly part 3342, and a third assembly part 3343. The first assembly part 3341, the second assembly part 3342, and the first button 35 are located on the same side of the support assembly 33 and along the width direction b of the mounting member 31. The first assembly part 3341 and the second assembly part 3342 are located on opposite sides of the first button 35. The first assembly part 3341 and the first mating part 3311 are arranged opposite each other in the length direction of the support assembly 33. The third assembly part 3343, the second button 36, and the first mating part 3311 are located on the same side of the support assembly 33 and along the width direction b of the mounting member 31.
