Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the iteration and development of technology, cleaning equipment, represented by intelligent cleaning robots, has entered ordinary household life and is gradually becoming widespread.

[0003] Mops are one of the most common cleaning components in cleaning equipment. Currently, the types of mops used in cleaning equipment include flatbed mops, rotary mops, roller mops, and tracked mops. Tracked mops, due to their relatively large contact area with the ground, offer excellent cleaning results and eliminate the need for repeated mopping, leading to their increasing use in cleaning equipment.

[0004] Tracked tow covers consist of the tow cover and the mounting structure. The tow cover is installed and removed using the mounting structure. Currently, there are various types of tracked tow covers on the market, but the installation and removal of the tow cover in tracked tow covers is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0053] An installation structure according to one or more embodiments of this application includes a first support member, a second support member, a rotating member, and a limiting member. The first support member and the second support member are rotatably connected, and the included angle between the first support member and the second support member changes under the action of external force. The rotating member is connected to the first support member and / or the second support member, and outputs rotational power to drive the mop to rotate, allowing the mop to clean the floor surface. The limiting member is movably connected to the first support member, and the limiting member and the first support member can move relative to each other.

The first support member is provided with a first locking part, and the limiting member is provided with a first limiting part. When the first limiting part and the first locking part are mechanically coupled, the relative positions of the first support member and the limiting member can be locked, and they cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0054] According to one or more embodiments of this application, the mounting structure can switch between a supported state and a retracted state under the action of external force. When the mounting structure is in the supported state, the first limiting part and the first locking part are coupled, restricting the relative rotation of the limiting member and the first support member. Since the limiting member and the second support member can only move relative to each other and cannot rotate relative to each other, neither the first support member, the limiting member, nor the second support member can rotate relative to each other. A large first angle exists between the first support member and the second support member, and this state can be maintained. When the angle between the first support member and the second support member is large, the outer envelope volume of the entire mounting structure is large, which can tension the mop fitted on it. When the installation structure is in the retracted state, the first limiting part separates from the first locking part. At this time, the limiting part and the first support part are unlocked, and the limiting part and the first support part can rotate relative to each other, so that the first support part and the second support part can rotate relative to each other to a second angle smaller than the first included angle. This reduces the outer envelope volume of the entire installation structure, and the shape of the entire installation structure changes to form an angular structure, which loosens the mop cloth on it, and there is a gap between the mop cloth and the installation structure, so that the mop cloth can be easily removed.

Detailed Implementation

[0088] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0089] Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in this application. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity purposes and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0090] Tracked mops consist of a mop head and a mounting structure. The mop head is installed and removed via the mounting structure. The mounting structure used in related technologies for tracked mops is primarily telescopic. The elastic elements inside the mounting structure press against two support members, causing the two support members to be relatively far apart. At this point, the mounting structure is in a supporting state, thus tensioning the mop head. When the mop head needs to be replaced, the mounting structure is gripped tightly by hand, squeezing the elastic elements and the two support members inward. When the two support members move to a closer relative position, the mounting structure is in a contracted state, thus loosening the mop head.

[0091] Because only the outer envelope size changes when the mounting structure switches between the retracted and supported states, the overall shape of the mounting structure remains unchanged, still resembling a rectangle (e.g., a rounded rectangle), allowing the mop to fit perfectly against the outer surface of the mounting structure. However, when the gap between the mop and the mounting structure is small, the mop is still difficult to remove, making mop assembly and disassembly inconvenient.

[0092] Therefore, this application provides an installation structure, a tracked mop, a cleaning device, and a cleaning system, which can at least partially solve the problem of inconvenient installation and removal of tracked mops in related technologies.

[0093] The specific technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale. Similar or identical reference numerals may be used to designate the same or similar parts in different drawings. The use of similar or identical reference numerals in different drawings does not mean that all drawings including similar or identical reference numerals constitute a single or the same embodiment. The accompanying drawings illustrate the various embodiments discussed in this application in a generalized manner, by way of example and not limitation.

[0094] A first aspect of this application provides a mounting structure for mounting a mop for a cleaning device. The mop is fitted onto the mounting structure and is rotatable relative to the mounting structure. The rotation of the mop is similar to that of a track, and the mop and the mounting structure form a tracked mop.

[0095] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The diagrams show schematic and exploded views of the installation structure in different states. The installation structure 120 includes a first support member 121, a second support member 122, a rotating member 124, and a limiting member 123. The first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are rotatably connected; under external force, the included angle between them changes. The rotating member 124 is connected to the first support member 121 and / or the second support member 122, and outputs rotational power to rotate the mop 130 to clean the floor surface. The limiting member 123 is movably connected to the first support member 121, allowing relative movement between them. The limiting member 123 is also movably connected to the second support member 122, allowing only relative movement, not relative rotation. The first support member 121 has a first locking part 1213, and the limiting member 123 has a first limiting part 1231. When the first limiting part 1231 is mechanically coupled with the first locking part 1213, the relative positions of the first support member 121 and the limiting member 123 can be locked, and the two cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0096] The mounting structure 120 can switch between a supported state and a retracted state under the action of external force. When the mounting structure 120 is in the supported state, the first limiting part 1231 is coupled with the first locking part 1213, restricting the relative rotation of the limiting member 123 and the first support member 121. Since the limiting member 123 and the second support member 122 can only move relative to each other and cannot rotate relative to each other, the first support member 121, the limiting member 123, and the second support member 122 cannot rotate relative to each other. The first support member 121 and the second support member 122 have a large first included angle α, and this state can be maintained. When the included angle between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 is large, the outer envelope volume of the entire mounting structure 120 is large, which can tighten the mop 130 fitted on it. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the first limiting part 1231 separates from the first locking part 1213. At this time, the limiting member 123 unlocks from the first support member 121, and the limiting member 123 and the first support member 121 can rotate relative to each other, so that the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 can rotate relative to each other to a second included angle β less than the first included angle α. This reduces the outer envelope volume of the entire mounting structure 120, and changes the shape of the entire mounting structure 120 to form an angular structure (less than 180°), which loosens the mop 130 fitted on it, and there is a gap between the mop 130 and the mounting structure 120, so that the mop 130 can be easily removed.

[0097] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the first included angle α can be 180°±5°; the second included angle β can be 90°±5°. That is, when the mounting structure 120 is in the supported state, the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are basically parallel and coplanar, which can support the mop 130 to be tightly wrapped around the mounting structure 120. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are basically perpendicular, the outer envelope volume of the entire mounting structure 120 is reduced, which allows the mop 130 to relax.

[0098] The driving force for switching the mounting structure 120 between the supported state and the retracted state can come from the operator's hand action and / or the elastic force of the elastic element, which is not limited in this application.

[0099] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mounting structure 120 further includes a first elastic member 125, the two ends of which act on the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, respectively. When the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, the first elastic member 125 is in an elastically deformed state. Since the first support member 121, the limiting member 123, and the second support member 122 cannot rotate relative to each other when the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, the first elastic member 125 remains in an elastically deformed state, and continuously applies an elastic force to the first support member 121 and the second support member 122. This elastic force causes the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 to have a tendency to rotate relative to each other in a direction closer to each other, that is, the direction of the elastic force is to reduce the included angle between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122. When the first limiting part 1231 separates from the first locking part 1213, the limiting member 123 unlocks from the first support member 121, allowing the limiting member 123 and the first support member 121 to rotate relative to each other. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 125, the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 rotate relative to each other in a direction that brings them closer together, and there is a second included angle β between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, and the mounting structure 120 is in a retracted state.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the first elastic member 125 may still be in an elastically deformed state, but the amount of deformation is less than the amount of deformation of the first elastic member 125 when the mounting structure 120 is in the supported state. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the first support member 121 is provided with a first stop portion 1215, and the second support member 122 is provided with a second stop portion 1226. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the first stop portion 1215 and the second stop portion 1226 abut against each other, preventing the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 from continuing to rotate relative to each other, thereby resisting the elastic force of the first elastic member 125 when the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state. Since the direction of the elastic force of the first elastic member 125 when the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state is still to reduce the included angle between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, this elastic force can make the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 maintain the second included angle β, so that the mounting structure 120 is stable in shape when it is in the retracted state, making it convenient for the operator to install and remove the mop 130.

[0101] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first stop 1215 may be a boss structure, and the second stop 1226 may be a stepped surface that mates with the boss structure. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the boss structure abuts against the stepped surface, and the stepped surface restricts the boss structure from continuing to rotate, so that the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are in a substantially perpendicular state, and the second included angle β is 90°±5°.

[0102] In other embodiments, when the mounting structure 120 is in a retracted state, the first elastic element 125 may also be in a natural state, with no elastic deformation.

[0103] The first elastic element 125 can be a spring such as a wire spring, torsion spring, or metal sheet, or it can be a soft, elastic block such as a rubber block or silicone block; this application does not impose any limitations. In some embodiments, the first elastic element 125 is a torsion spring, and the two rotating arms of the torsion spring act on the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, respectively. The two rotating arms of the torsion spring can be respectively embedded into two slots d provided on the first support member 121 and the second support member 122.

[0104] The first support member 121 and the second support member 122 can rotate relative to each other. Specifically, the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 can be hinged together by a hinge, or the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 can be rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0105] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7To facilitate the hinge connection between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, at least one mounting lug 1214 may be provided on the first support member 121, and at least one protrusion 1222 may be provided on the second support member 122. The mounting lugs 1214 and protrusions 1222 are alternately distributed along the axial direction of the limiting member 123, and the rotating shaft is installed in the mounting lugs 1214 and protrusions 1222, thereby realizing the hinge connection between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122.

[0106] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first support member 121 is provided with a through channel 12141, and the limiting member 123 extends movably into the channel 12141. The limiting member 123 can move axially in the channel 12141, and after the first limiting part 1231 separates from the first locking part 1213, the limiting member 123 can rotate in the channel 12141, thereby allowing the limiting member 123 to act as a pivot when the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 rotate relative to each other.

[0107] Please see Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first locking part 1213 is disposed on the inner wall of the channel 12141, and the first limiting part 1231 is coupled to the first locking part 1213 through a concave-convex structure. For example, the first limiting part 1231 can be a protrusion a, and the first locking part 1213 can be a groove b disposed on the inner wall of the channel 12141, and the protrusion a can slide along the groove b. When the protrusion a slides out of the groove b, the first limiting part 1231 separates from the first locking part 1213, and the limiting member 123 can rotate in the channel 12141. The groove b can also serve as a guide groove when the limiting member 123 is inserted into the channel 12141.

[0108] Taking the first limiting part 1231 as a protrusion a and the first locking part 1213 as a groove b as an example, when the mounting structure 120 is in the supported state, the protrusion a is embedded in the groove b, such as... Figure 9 As shown, this keeps the mounting structure 120 in a supported state. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the protrusion a is located outside the groove b. Because the included angle between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 changes at this time, the protrusion a and the groove b are misaligned not only in the moving direction of the limiting member 123, but also in the relative rotational direction of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122. Without external force interference, the protrusion a will not enter the groove b, thereby keeping the mounting structure 120 in a supported state.

[0109] Please see Figure 10In some embodiments, the first support member 121 may have two mounting lugs 1214, which are symmetrically distributed. The channel 12141 may be disposed in one of the mounting lugs 1214. For ease of installation, the two mounting lugs 1214 may be identical, and the first support member 121 does not need to distinguish between the front and back during assembly.

[0110] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the first support member 121 includes a first support plate 1211 and a transmission part 1212. The first support plate 1211 is used to mount the rotating member 124, and the first support plate 1211 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 124. The first support plate 1211 has a first mounting cavity 12142 and the aforementioned channel 12141, and the transmission part 1212 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 12142. A rotation-limiting anti-rotation structure c is provided between the transmission part 1212 and the first support plate 1211, so that the transmission part 1212 and the first support plate 1211 cannot rotate relative to each other. The anti-rotation structure c can be a spline, a protrusion a and a groove b, or a prism and a prism-shaped groove, and this application is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, slots d can be provided on both the transmission part 1212 and the second support member 122, and the two rotating arms of the torsion spring are respectively embedded in the two slots d.

[0111] Please see Figure 11 In some embodiments, the first mounting cavity 12142 and the channel 12141 are coaxially arranged, and the transmission part 1212 and the limiting member 123 are also coaxially arranged. The transmission part 1212 and the limiting member 123 together serve as the pivot of the mounting structure 120. The first support member 121 may have two mounting lugs 1214, and the first mounting cavity 12142 and the channel 12141 are respectively disposed in the two mounting lugs 1214. The structures of the first mounting cavity 12142 and the channel 12141 may be completely identical. That is, a groove b may also be provided on the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 12142, and a protrusion a may be provided on the outer surface of the transmission part 1212. The protrusion a may slide along the groove b, but the protrusion a may not rotate in the groove b. This makes the two mounting lugs 1214 completely identical, and the first support member 121 does not need to be distinguished between the front and back during assembly.

[0112] In some embodiments, the transmission unit 1212 is only limitedly connected to the first support plate 1211, in which case an additional connecting shaft 128 is required as the pivot for the first support member 121 to rotate relative to the second support member 122. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the first mounting cavity 12142 is a through structure, and the transmission part 1212 is a bushing. The bushing extends into the first mounting cavity 12142 and can slide freely in the first mounting cavity 12142, which facilitates the installation and removal of the bushing.

[0113] In some embodiments, the mounting structure 120 further includes a connecting shaft 128 and a threaded connector 129, the connecting shaft 128 being movably inserted into a bushing. The second support member 122 has a mounting groove, and the first end of the connecting shaft 128 extends into the mounting groove and is interference-fitted with it. The threaded connector 129 is threadedly connected to the second end of the connecting shaft 128, and the threaded connector 129 is located outside the transmission part 1212. The threaded connector 129 prevents the transmission part 1212 from disengaging from the connecting shaft 128. Since the connecting shaft 128 and the transmission part 1212 can rotate relative to each other, the interference fit between the connecting shaft 128 and the mounting groove of the second support member 122 restricts relative rotation; in this case, the connecting shaft 128 serves as the pivot point for the first support member 121 to rotate relative to the second support member 122.

[0114] The transmission part 1212 can also be configured such that one part is limitedly connected to the first support plate 1211 (restricting relative rotation), and the other part extends into the second support member 122 and rotatably engages with the second support member 122. The limiting member 123 is limitedly connected to the second support member 122 (restricting relative rotation), and the limiting member 123 extends into the first support plate 1211. When the first limiting part 1231 separates from the first locking part 1213, the limiting member 123 rotatably engages with the first support member 121. Thus, both the transmission part 1212 and the limiting member 123 are simultaneously connected to the first support plate 1211 and the second support member 122. The transmission part 1212 serves as the pivot when the first support member 121 rotates relative to the second support member 122, and the limiting member 123 serves as the pivot when the second support member 122 rotates relative to the first support member 121.

[0115] In other embodiments, a limiting member 123 may be provided to extend along the length direction of the mounting structure 120 (axial direction of the limiting member 123) through the connection between the first support member 121 and the second support member 122. One part of the limiting member 123 is limitedly connected to the second support member 122 (restricting relative rotation), and the other part of the limiting member 123 extends into the first support member 121 and rotatably engages with the first support member 121. When the first limiting part 1231 is coupled with the first locking part 1213, the limiting member 123 is limitedly connected to the first support member 121 (restricting relative rotation).

[0116] Further implementations of the rotating shaft of the mounting structure 120 are not exhaustive here.

[0117] Please see Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16In some embodiments, the second support member 122 is provided with a second locking part 1223, and the limiting member 123 is also provided with a second limiting part 1232. The second limiting part 1232 and the second locking part 1223 are movably connected, restricting the relative rotation between the limiting member 123 and the second support member 122. The second limiting part 1232 and the second locking part 1223 can be connected by a key connection, tooth engagement, or other connection methods, thereby enabling the second support member 122 and the limiting member 123 to move axially relative to each other but restricting rotation.

[0118] Please see Figure 16 In some embodiments, the limiting member 123 further includes a shaft portion 1233, with a first limiting portion 1231 and a second limiting portion 1232 spaced apart on the shaft portion 1233 along its axial direction. The relative movement direction of the second limiting portion 1232 and the second locking portion 1223 is parallel to the axial direction of the shaft portion 1233, thereby ensuring that the limiting member 123 can move relative to the second support member 122 along the axial direction of the shaft portion 1233, so that the first limiting portion 1231 is coupled or separated from the first locking portion 1213, but the second limiting portion 1232 and the second locking portion 1223 are always coupled, can move relative to each other but are restricted from relative rotation.

[0119] The operator can directly drive the limiting member 123 to move axially along the shaft portion 1233. For example, the first end of the limiting member 123 can be set to extend outward for easy operation; the first limiting portion 1231 and the second limiting portion 1232 are both located at the second end of the limiting member 123. In some embodiments, the limiting member 123 can also be guided to move by setting an unlocking member 126, which is movably connected to the first support member 121 or the second support member 122, and drives the limiting member 123 to move away from the first locking portion 1213.

[0120] The unlocking component 126 can move the limiting component 123 by rotating or moving itself; or the unlocking component 126 can be magnetic, using magnetic attraction to move the limiting component 123; or the unlocking component 126 can move the limiting component 123 by pulling a cable or pushing a rod. The specific structure of the unlocking component 126 is not limited in this application.

[0121] Please see Figure 17 and Figure 18In some embodiments, the unlocking member 126 is a knob, and the unlocking member 126 is rotatably connected to the first support member 121. When the unlocking member 126 rotates, it guides the limiting member 123 to move. The unlocking member 126 can drive the limiting member 123 to move away from the first locking part 1213; or it can drive the limiting member 123 to move away from the first locking part 1213, thereby separating the first limiting part 1231 from the first locking part 1213; or it can drive the limiting member 123 to move closer to the first locking part 1213, thereby coupling the first limiting part 1231 with the first locking part 1213.

[0122] In some embodiments, the unlocking member 126 and the first support member 121 can be rotatably connected by a helical structure. While rotating relative to the first support member 121, the unlocking member 126 also moves relative to the first support member 121, thereby causing the limiting member 123 to move. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 18 In other embodiments, the unlocking member 126 is rotatably connected to the first support member 121. The unlocking member 126 can rotate relative to the first support member 121, but cannot move relative to it. One of the unlocking member 126 and the limiting member 123 is provided with a helical protrusion e, and the other is provided with a helical slide f. The helical protrusion e extends into the helical slide f. When the unlocking member 126 is rotated, the unlocking member 126 rotates relative to the first support member 121 but does not move. The limiting member 123 moves relative to the first support member 121 with the cooperation of the helical protrusion e and the helical slide f, but does not rotate. The limiting member 123 moves away from the first locking part 1213, thereby causing the first limiting part 1231 to separate from the first locking part 1213 and unlock.

[0123] For easier installation of unlock tool 126, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 18 In some embodiments, the first support member 121 further includes a mounting bracket 1217, which is fixedly connected to a mounting lug 1214 having a channel 12141. A gap exists between the mounting bracket 1217 and the mounting lug 1214. A raised edge 1261 is provided around the outer periphery of the unlocking member 126, and the raised edge 1261 is movably embedded in this gap, allowing the unlocking member 126 to rotate relative to the first support member 121, but preventing it from moving relative to the first support member 121 due to the restriction of the mounting bracket 1217.

[0124] Please see Figure 19 In some embodiments, the mounting structure 120 further includes a second elastic member 127, the two ends of which act on the second support member 122 and the limiting member 123, respectively. The limiting member 123 moves towards the first locking part 1213 under the drive of the second elastic member 127. The second elastic member 127 can be a spring such as a wire spring, torsion spring, or metal sheet, or it can be a soft, elastic block such as a rubber block or silicone block; this application does not impose any limitations.

[0125] When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the first limiting part 1231 separates from the first locking part 1213, and the second elastic member 127 is in an elastically deformed state. The second elastic member 127 applies a force to the limiting member 123, causing the first limiting part 1231 to move closer to the first locking part 1213. When the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 rotate relative to each other to an included angle of the first angle, the first limiting part 1231 and the first locking part 1213 are aligned. At this time, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 127, the limiting member 123 moves closer to the first locking part 1213, so that the first limiting part 1231 and the first locking part 1213 are recoupled, and the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state.

[0126] Please see Figure 19 In some embodiments, the second support member 122 includes a second support plate 1221 and a protrusion 1222. The second support plate 1221 is used to mount the rotating member 124, and the second support plate 1221 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 124. The protrusion 1222 is connected to the second support plate 1221. After the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 are connected, the protrusion 1222 is located precisely between the two mounting lugs 1214 of the first support member 121.

[0127] Please see Figure 19 In some embodiments, the protrusion 1222 is provided with a second mounting cavity 12221 for accommodating the elastic member, and the opening of the second mounting cavity 12221 faces the mounting lug 1214 with the channel 12141. The cavity wall at the opening of the second mounting cavity 12221 is provided with a plurality of tooth grooves h, which form a second locking part 1223. Correspondingly, the second limiting part 1232 is a tooth g that mates with the tooth groove h, and the thickness of the tooth g is less than the depth of the tooth groove h, so that the tooth g can move a certain distance in the tooth groove h.

[0128] When the mounting structure 120 is applied to the cleaning equipment 100, it not only supports the mop 130 but also drives the mop 130 to rotate, allowing it to wipe away dirt from the surface to be cleaned. In the mounting structure 120, the rotating component 124 drives the mop 130 to rotate. The rotating component 124 can be a roller, track, chain, gear, etc., and the rotating component 124 is rotatably connected to the first support component 121 and the second support component 122.

[0129] In some embodiments, the rotating member 124 can transmit torque generated by an external power element, thereby driving the mop 130 to rotate. In other embodiments, the rotating member 124 may also include a power source and a transmission component. The power source outputs torque; for example, the power source may be an electric motor. The transmission component may be a roller, track, chain, gear, etc., to transmit the torque of the electric motor. The specific structural form of the rotating member 124 is not limited in this application.

[0130] Please see Figure 19 In some embodiments, the rotating member 124 includes a first roller 1241 and a second roller 1242. The first roller 1241 is rotatably connected to the first support member 121, and the second roller 1242 is rotatably connected to the second support member 122. At least one of the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 outputs rotational power to drive the mop 130 to rotate. That is, at least one of the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 is the driving member, transmitting external power. The axes of the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 are parallel and both are perpendicular to the relative movement direction of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122.

[0131] The first roller 1241 and / or the second roller 1242, acting as driving components, can be connected to an external power source via gears, keys, couplings, or prisms. In some embodiments, both the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 are equipped with gears, which mesh with the external power source, thus making both the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 driving components. The gears can be located in the middle of the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 to ensure that the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 are subjected to uniform force.

[0132] Please see Figure 19 In some embodiments, at least one of the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 is provided with a connecting portion 1243. The connecting portion 1243 is located at the end of the first roller 1241 or the second roller 1242. The connecting portion 1243 passes through the corresponding first support member 121 or second support member 122 and is exposed. When the mounting structure 120 is installed on the device body 110 of the cleaning device 100, the connecting portion 1243 is drivenly connected to the power source in the device body 110. The connecting portion 1243 can be a splined shaft, a prism (e.g., a hexagonal prism), a splined shaft hole, a prism-shaped hole, etc., and the specific structure is not limited in this application.

[0133] The connecting part 1243 can be fixedly connected to the body of the first roller 1241 or the second roller 1242, for example, by means of fasteners, interference fit, welding, etc. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1243 is integrally formed on the first roller 1241 or the second roller 1242. For example, if the connecting part 1243 is a hexagonal prism, then a section of the rotating shaft is machined to form a prism or a prism-shaped hole, which serves as the connecting part 1243.

[0134] Please see Figure 19 In some embodiments, the first support member 121 further includes a first mounting portion 1216, which is fixedly connected to the first support plate 1211. The first mounting portion 1216 may contain two bearings (not shown in the figure), and both ends of the first roller 1241 are rotatably connected to the first mounting portion 1216 via the bearings. In some embodiments, the second support member 122 further includes a second mounting portion 1224, which is fixedly connected to the second support plate 1221. The second mounting portion 1224 may also contain two bearings (not shown in the figure), and both ends of the second roller 1242 are rotatably connected to the second mounting portion 1224 via the bearings.

[0135] In some embodiments, at least one end of the second roller 1242 is provided with a prism, which constitutes the connecting portion 1243. That is, the second roller 1242 is the driving member and the first roller 1241 is the driven member. One side of the second mounting portion 1224 is a through structure, and the connecting portion 1243 passes through the second mounting portion 1224 and one of the bearings, and is exposed relative to the second support member 122. When the mounting structure 120 is installed in the cleaning equipment 100, the connecting portion 1243 extends into the power shaft of the equipment body 110 of the cleaning equipment 100, and the second roller 1242 is connected to the power source inside the equipment body 110 through the power shaft.

[0136] Torque can be transmitted between the rotating component 124 and the mop 130 through friction, i.e., the mop 130 is tightly wrapped around the outside of the rotating component 124, and the two move together through static friction. In some embodiments, at least one of the first roller 1241 and the second roller 1242 is provided with a friction part, which contacts the mop 130. The friction part can be made of a material with a high coefficient of static friction, such as rubber or plastic. Alternatively, an uneven surface can be provided on the surface of the friction part to increase the friction between the friction part and the mop 130. There can be more than one friction part; when there are two or more friction parts, they are spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating shaft. In other embodiments, the rotating component 124 and the mop 130 can also be connected as one unit by hooks, barbs, or other hook structures, and move together. The transmission method between the rotating component 124 and the mop 130 is not limited in this application.

[0137] Please see Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 According to a second aspect of this application, a tracked mop 101 is provided, which includes a mop 130 and a mounting structure 120 as described in the first aspect embodiment. The mop 130 is sleeved on the mounting structure 120. When the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, the mop 130 is tensioned and rotated by the rotating member 124 of the mounting structure 120; when the mounting structure 120 is in a retracted state, the mop 130 is relaxed, and there is a gap A between the mop 130 and the mounting structure 120, at which time the mop 130 can be easily removed.

[0138] The mop 130 is wrapped around the outside of the mounting structure 120. Since the track mop 101 is usually rectangular, the mop 130 is sleeved on the mounting structure 120 along its length. The material and shape of the mop 130 can be referred to relevant disclosures in the prior art, and this application does not impose any limitations.

[0139] In some embodiments, the mop 130 can be made of a non-stretchable material. Therefore, when the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, a transition fit or an interference fit can be used between the mounting structure 120 and the mop 130. The mounting structure 120 stably supports the mop 130 and tensions the mop 130. Figure 20 As shown. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, there is a noticeable gap A between the mop 130 and the mounting structure 120, as shown. Figure 21 As shown. At this time, the mop 130 is merely wrapped around the mounting structure 120, but it does not adhere to the outer surface of the mounting structure 120.

[0140] In other embodiments, the mop 130 may also be made of elastic fabric. When the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, the mop 130 is in a stretched state, tightly wrapping around the outside of the mounting structure 120, such as... Figure 22 As shown. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the mop 130 is in a natural state or a slightly stretched state (the stretch is much smaller than the stretch of the mop 130 when the mounting structure 120 is in the supported state). At this time, the mop 130 is wrapped around the mounting structure 120 and still adheres to the outer surface of the mounting structure 120, as shown. Figure 23 As shown. When the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the mop 130 can be easily pulled open and removed. Furthermore, since the mounting structure 120 changes shape and forms an angular structure when it is in the retracted state, the mop 130 is stretched into a triangle. However, only two sides of the triangular mop 130 are in contact with the first support member 121 and the second support member 122, respectively, while the remaining side is not in contact with the mounting structure 120. Therefore, the mop 130 can be easily removed through this remaining side.

[0141] Please see Figure 24 According to a third aspect of this application, a cleaning device 100 is provided, including a device body 110 and a tracked mop 101 as described in the second aspect embodiment above. The cleaning device 100 may be a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, a sweeping and mopping robot in combination, a floor scrubber, a vacuum cleaner, etc., and this application does not impose any limitations.

[0142] The tracked tow 101 is detachably connected to the equipment body 110. Alternatively, the mounting structure 120 of the tracked tow 101 can be detachably connected to the equipment body 110, while the tow 130 is not connected to the equipment body 110. Another option is that the mounting structure 120 is detachably connected to the equipment body 110, and the tow 130 is connected to the power source of the equipment body 110 via a drive mechanism, such as a hook or teeth that rotate the tow 130 relative to the mounting structure 120. The detachable connection between the mounting structure 120 of the tracked tow 101 and the equipment body 110 can be achieved through snap-fit ​​connections, interlocking mechanisms, etc. This application does not limit the specific implementation of the detachable connection.

[0143] Please see Figure 24 In some embodiments, the main body 110 of the equipment includes a mop mounting component 111. The mounting structure 120 of the tracked mop 101 is detachably connected to the mop mounting component 111. The mounting structure 120 and the mop mounting component 111 can be detachably connected by means of snap-fit ​​connection, interlocking, or other methods.

[0144] Please see Figure 25 , Figure 26 , Figure 27 and Figure 28 In some embodiments, the mop mounting component 111 is provided with a first locking portion 1111, and the mounting structure 120 is provided with a protruding first slider 1218. When the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, the first slider 1218 is located in the first locking portion 1111, and the first slider 1218 and the first locking portion 1111 form a snap-fit ​​structure. On the one hand, this can maintain the installation position of the mounting structure 120 and prevent the mounting structure 120 from accidentally falling off or changing its state due to vibration during the operation of the cleaning equipment 100; on the other hand, when the operator installs the mounting structure 120, the first slider 1218 will generate obvious tactile feedback as it slides into the first locking portion 1111, reminding the operator that the mounting structure 120 is installed in place.

[0145] After the mounting structure 120 is connected to the mop mounting component 111, one of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 of the mounting structure 120 is closer to the inner side of the device body 110, and the other is closer to the outer side of the device body 110. When the rotating component 124 includes a first roller 1241 and a second roller 1242, the roller acting as the driving member can be positioned closer to the inner side of the device body 110, and the roller acting as the driven member can be positioned closer to the outer side of the device body 110. For ease of description, the following description will use the embodiment where the second support member 122 is closer to the inner side of the device body 110, the first support member 121 is closer to the outer side of the device body 110, the second roller 1242 is the driving member, and the first roller 1241 is the driven member as an example to illustrate the cleaning device 100.

[0146] It is understood that in other embodiments, the first support member 121 may be positioned closer to the inner side of the device body 110 and the second support member 122 may be positioned closer to the outer side of the device body 110; or the first roller 1241 may be the driving member and the second roller 1242 may be the driven member.

[0147] During the transition of the mounting structure 120 from a supported state to a retracted state, only the first support member 121 or the second support member 122 may rotate relative to the mop mounting member 111, or both the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 may rotate relative to the mop mounting member 111. In some embodiments, the part of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 of the mounting structure 120 that is closer to the inner side of the device body 110 is rotatably connected to the mop mounting member 111; the part of the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 of the mounting structure 120 that is closer to the outer side of the device body 110 is provided with a first slider 1218.

[0148] In other words, the second support member 122 of the mounting structure 120 is rotatably connected to the mop mounting member 111, and the first support member 121 is provided with the aforementioned first slider 1218. During the process of the mounting structure 120 switching from the supported state to the retracted state, the first support member 121 rotates relative to the mop mounting member 111 and the second support member 122, and the second support member 122 rotates relative to the mop mounting member 111, causing changes in the shape and spatial orientation of the entire mounting structure 120.

[0149] Please see Figure 26 and Figure 28The diagrams show structural schematics of the mop mounting component 111 in different embodiments. The mop mounting component 111 is provided with a first sliding groove 1113. During the switching process between the supported state and the retracted state of the mounting structure 120, the first slider 1218 slides along the first sliding groove 1113, and the first support member 121 rotates relative to the mop mounting component 111 and the second support member 122 under the guidance of the first slider 1218 and the first sliding groove 1113.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first locking part 1111 is located at the end of the first slide groove 1113. When the first slider 1218 slides along the first slide groove 1113 to the end of the first slide groove 1113, the first slider 1218 is located in the first locking part 1111, so that the mounting structure 120 is stably maintained in the supported state.

[0151] Please see Figure 29 In some embodiments, when the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, the first slider 1218 is located at the beginning of the first slide groove 1113, and there is a gap B between the first support member 121 of the mounting structure 120 and the bottom of the mop mounting member 111. This is equivalent to the first support member 121 sliding upwards along the first slide groove 1113 when the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, thereby forming a gap B between it and the bottom 1116 of the mop mounting member 111. This gap B allows the operator's hand to reach in, facilitating the removal of the entire mounting structure 120.

[0152] In some embodiments, the first end of the first groove 1113 is an open structure communicating with the outside. The operator can install the mounting structure 120 in the mop mounting member 111 when the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, or remove the mounting structure 120 from the mop mounting member 111 when the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state.

[0153] When installing the tracked mop 101, the operator can install the entire tracked mop 101 into the mop mounting bracket 111 while the mounting structure 120 is in the retracted state, such as... Figure 29 As shown. The operator then presses down on the mounting structure 120, forcing the first support member 121 and the second support member 122 to open, increasing the angle between them, and the mounting structure 120 gradually changes from a retracted state to a supported state. When the first slider 1218 is located in the first locking part 1111, the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, tensioning the mop 130, as shown. Figure 25 and Figure 27 As shown.

[0154] Please see Figure 26In some embodiments, the mop mounting member 111 is provided with a second sliding groove 1114 and a third sliding groove 1115 that are parallel to each other, and a first slider 1218 is slidably engaged with the second sliding groove 1114. The second support member 122 of the mounting structure 120 is provided with a second slider 1225, which is slidably engaged with the third sliding groove 1115. Since the second sliding groove 1114 and the third sliding groove 1115 are parallel to each other, when the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, the operator can install the mounting structure 120 into the mop mounting member 111 along the extending direction of the second sliding groove 1114 and the third sliding groove 1115.

[0155] Please see Figure 26 In some embodiments, the first locking portion 1111 is located at the end of the second slide groove 1114. The mop mounting member 111 is provided with a second locking portion 1112, which is located at the end of the third slide groove 1115. When the mounting structure 120 is in a supported state, the first slider 1218 is located in the first locking portion 1111, and the second slider 1225 is located in the second locking portion 1112, together ensuring that the mounting structure 120 is maintained in a supported state, and preventing the vibration during the operation of the cleaning equipment 100 from causing the mounting structure 120 to accidentally fall off or change its state.

[0156] In other embodiments, the mop mounting component 111 may simultaneously provide a first slide groove 1113, a second slide groove 1114, and a third slide groove 1115. The end of the first slide groove 1113 communicates with the end of the second slide groove 1114, and the first locking part 1111 is located at the connection between the first slide groove 1113 and the second slide groove 1114. The operator can then select the installation method of the tracked mop 101 according to actual needs. Regardless of whether the mounting structure 120 of the tracked mop 101 is in a supported state or a retracted state, it can be smoothly installed in the mop mounting component 111, thereby making the installation and removal of the tracked mop 101 simpler and easier to operate, improving the user experience.

[0157] When the mounting structure 120 also includes an unlocking member 126, the operator can first remove the entire track mop 101 from the mop mounting member 111, and then operate the unlocking member 126 to separate the first limiting part 1231 from the first locking part 1213 and unlock it. The mounting structure 120 switches from the supporting state to the retracted state, which loosens the mop 130 fitted on it, and there is a gap between the mop 130 and the mounting structure 120, so that the mop 130 can be easily removed.

[0158] Please see Figure 27 , Figure 28 and Figure 29In some embodiments, where the mounting structure 120 further includes an unlocking member 126, the device body 110 may also include a button 112, which is movably mounted in the mop mounting member 111. Along the direction of movement of the button 112, the button 112 and the unlocking member 126 have an overlapping portion. When the button 112 moves within the mop mounting member 111, it pushes the unlocking member 126 to move, causing the unlocking member 126 to drive the limiting member 123 to move away from the first locking portion 1213. The button 112 can drive the unlocking member 126 to rotate or move, thereby causing the unlocking member 126 to drive the limiting member 123 to move away from the first locking portion 1213, thus separating the first limiting portion 1231 from the first locking portion 1213 and unlocking the device.

[0159] In some embodiments, the overlapping portion of button 112 and unlocking member 126 is eccentrically positioned relative to the pivot of unlocking member 126. When button 112 is pressed down, button 112 eccentrically presses unlocking member 126, causing unlocking member 126 to bear an eccentric force. This eccentric force generates torque, driving unlocking member 126 to rotate. Limiting member 123 moves relative to first support member 121 but does not rotate under the cooperation of helical protrusion e and helical slide f. Limiting member 123 moves away from first locking part 1213, thereby separating first limiting part 1231 from first locking part 1213 and unlocking. Mounting structure 120 switches from supported state to retracted state, and then the operator can remove the entire track mop 101 from mop mounting member 111.

[0160] Please see Figure 28 In some embodiments, the device body 110 may further include a third elastic element 113. The third elastic element 113 may be a spring such as a wire spring, torsion spring, or metal sheet, or it may be a soft rubber block such as a rubber block or silicone block. This application does not impose any limitations. The third elastic element 113 is installed between the button 112 and the mop mounting component 111, with its two ends acting on the button 112 and the mop mounting component 111, respectively. When the operator presses down on the button 112, the third elastic element 113 undergoes elastic deformation. When the operator releases the button 112, the button 112 automatically resets under the elastic force of the third elastic element 113.

[0161] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a drive component (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the device body 110 and is drive-connected to the rotating component 124 of the mounting structure 120. The rotating component 124 has a connecting portion 1243, and the device body 110 is correspondingly provided with a transmission interface that is drive-connected to the drive component. The connecting portion 1243 is drive-connected to the transmission interface. The drive connection method between the connecting portion 1243 and the transmission interface is not limited to prism-to-prism hole mating, key connection, gear meshing, etc. When the device body 110 includes a mop mounting component 111, a through hole needs to be provided in the mop mounting component 111, into which the output shaft of the drive component or the rotating component 124 of the mounting structure 120 extends.

[0162] The drive unit may consist only of a power source such as a motor or electric motor. In some embodiments, the drive unit may also include a reduction mechanism, such as a gear set. The reduction mechanism is connected between the power source and the connecting part 1243 to reduce the rotational speed of the power output from the power source, so that the mop 130 rotates at a lower speed, which can effectively wipe away dirt from the surface to be cleaned.

[0163] In some embodiments, the cleaning components in the cleaning device 100 may consist only of the mop 130 of the tracked mop 101; for example, the cleaning device 100 is a floor mop. See also... Figure 24 In other embodiments, the cleaning components in the cleaning device 100 may further include at least one of a roller brush 140, a side brush 150, a flat mop 130, a rotary mop 130, and a roller mop 130. As one implementation, the cleaning device 100 may be a sweeping and mopping robot, with a roller brush 140, a side brush 150, and a tracked mop 101 mounted on the main body 110. Specifically: the roller brush 140 is located in the middle of the main body 110; the side brush 150 is located at the edge of the main body 110; both the roller brush 140 and the side brush 150 are used to sweep away debris from the surface to be cleaned; and the tracked mop 101 is used for mopping.

[0164] Please see Figure 24 In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a wheel module 160, which is connected to the device body 110. The wheel module 160 can actively drive the entire cleaning device 100 to move on the surface to be cleaned; that is, the wheel module 160 is equipped with a power source. The wheel module 160 may also consist of only a few rollers. The cleaning device 100 moves on the surface to be cleaned by the user's pushing or pulling action, and the wheel module 160 rotates accordingly to reduce friction.

[0165] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a liquid supply component (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the device body 110. The liquid supply component provides liquid to the mop 130, which wets the mop 130, thereby achieving wet mopping. In some embodiments, the liquid supply component includes at least a liquid storage section and a liquid supply section. The liquid storage section stores liquid, and the liquid supply section provides the liquid stored in the liquid storage section to the mop 130. The liquid supply section can be a plurality of nozzles or a flow channel with multiple outlets. The liquid supply section corresponds to the position of the mop 130; it can be located above the mop 130, or the mop 130 can be located in the movement path of the liquid provided by the liquid supply section. In short, it is sufficient to ensure that the liquid provided by the liquid supply section comes into contact with the mop 130.

[0166] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a cleaning component (not shown), which is connected to the device body 110. The cleaning component cleans dirt from the mop 130; the cleaning component can be a scraper, a washing device, etc. During operation, the tracked mop 101 continuously rotates. The portion of the mop 130 with attached dirt moves into the device body of the cleaning device 100 as the mop 130 rotates, where it is cleaned by the cleaning component inside the device body. The cleaned portion of the mop 130 returns to its position in contact with the surface to be cleaned as the mop 130 rotates, allowing it to rotate again to wipe away dirt from the surface. This process is repeated cyclically, achieving a better cleaning effect.

When the power supply module of the base station 200 is also a battery, the capacity of the battery in the base station 200 can be greater than the capacity of the battery in the cleaning device 100, allowing the base station 200 to power the cleaning device 100 multiple times on a single charge. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 31 When the cleaning equipment 100 enters the base station body 210, the power supply module 230 is electrically connected to the charging component 170 of the cleaning equipment 100, and the power supply module charges the battery of the cleaning equipment 100 through the charging component 170.

When cleaning equipment 100 enters base station body 210, the liquid injection module communicates with the liquid supply component of cleaning equipment 100 to replenish the liquid supply component of cleaning equipment 100.

[0172] As another implementation, base station 200 may also include a drying module (not shown in the figure), which is connected to base station body 210. The drying module includes a fan and a heating element. The fan blows hot air generated by the heating element outward, thereby drying the cleaned mop 130. The mop 130 can be located in or outside the cleaning tank 220 during drying. When cleaning equipment 100 enters base station body 210, the mop 130 is first cleaned through the cleaning tank 220. After the mop 130 is cleaned, the drying module provides hot airflow to the mop 130 to dry it.

[0173] As another embodiment, the base station 200 may further include a dust collection module (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the base station body 210. The dust collection module includes a dust bag and a dust collection channel 12141 communicating with the dust bag. The debris swept by the roller brush 140 and side brush 150 of the cleaning equipment 100 enters the dust storage chamber of the cleaning equipment 100. When the cleaning equipment 100 enters the base station body 210, the dust collection channel 12141 of the base station 200 communicates with the dust storage chamber of the cleaning equipment 100 to draw dust and debris from the dust storage chamber of the cleaning equipment 100 into the dust bag.
