Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] To maximize cleaning coverage, cleaning equipment typically incorporates an outward-swinging cleaning mechanism. This expands the cleaning range and improves efficiency. However, in existing technologies, cleaning equipment with an outward-swinging cleaning mechanism often suffers from a large overall size. This not only affects the portability and flexibility of the equipment but may also limit its use in confined spaces.

[0003] Therefore, how to optimize the overall size and structural design of cleaning equipment while ensuring its outdoor functionality, so as to achieve better space utilization and portability, is an important problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cleaning device to solve the technical problem that the overall size of cleaning devices with external cleaning mechanism functions is too large.

[0005] This utility model provides a cleaning device, which includes a body and a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a base, a cleaning component, and a first driving member. The base is mounted on the body. The cleaning component includes a swing arm and a cleaning component. The swing arm drives the cleaning component to move relative to the base, so that the cleaning component has an inward position and an outward position. The first driving member is disposed on the base and has a rotating output end that rotates around a first axis. The first driving member is used to drive the swing arm to rotate around a second axis, so as to drive the cleaning component to switch between the inward position and the outward position. The first axis and the second axis are in a preset angular relationship, so as to form an installation area for mounting at least a part of the structure of the vacuuming component at least above the first driving member.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: By setting the first and second axes at a preset angle, a mounting area for at least a portion of the vacuuming component is formed above the first drive unit. This mounting area allows for a compact installation of the vacuuming component with the cleaning mechanism within a limited space, thus mitigating the overall bulk redundancy of the cleaning equipment caused by improper arrangement of the components, particularly reducing wasted space in the vertical direction. Therefore, this design helps reduce the overall height of the cleaning equipment, making it more suitable for space-constrained applications such as small homes or narrow work areas, significantly enhancing its applicability and flexibility. Furthermore, by rationally setting the preset angles of the first and second axes, the size of the mounting area can be flexibly adjusted. This adjustment method does not require modification of the mounting positions of other components on the machine body, thus offering better operability and ease of implementation.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dust collection component includes a dust box, a dust collection fan, and an air outlet duct. The dust box includes a dust inlet, and the dust inlet and the dust collection fan form an air outlet path through the air outlet duct. The dust collection fan is installed on the body and is at least partially located within the installation area.

[0008] The advantages of this arrangement are that by placing at least a portion of the vacuum cleaner fan within the installation area, it creates a spatial nesting relationship with the base. Compared to traditional parallel or stacked arrangements, this design reduces the space required for both components. This layout not only optimizes the vertical space utilization of the cleaning equipment but also effectively reduces the lateral dimensions, thereby improving the overall structural compactness of the cleaning equipment and enabling a smaller structural design. Therefore, this solution can mitigate the additional space wasted due to the independent installation of the vacuum cleaner fan in traditional layouts, further reducing the overall size of the cleaning equipment while maintaining high-efficiency vacuuming performance.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism is disposed on one side of the machine body along the width direction, and the dust inlet is disposed on the same side of the cleaning mechanism.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: By placing the cleaning mechanism on one side of the machine body's width and the dust inlet on the same side, dust, debris, and other dirt can be promptly sucked into the dust box after being cleaned by the cleaning mechanism. This design not only reduces the possibility of dust, debris, and other dirt spreading during cleaning but also improves suction efficiency, allowing for faster removal of dirt from the surface to be cleaned. Simultaneously, this design facilitates suction operation when the cleaning equipment is equipped with a cantilevered roller brush structure, ensuring effective suction in roller brush cleaning mode. Furthermore, the fact that the cleaning mechanism and dust inlet are located on the same side means that the suction fan can be positioned closer to the cleaning mechanism, allowing for a more compact arrangement of the suction fan and cleaning mechanism on the machine body, thus reducing the internal installation space required. In one embodiment of this utility model, the machine body includes an air inlet duct that communicates with the dust box to form an air inlet path when the base station of the cleaning equipment collects dust from the dust box. The air inlet duct is at least partially located within the installation area.

[0011] The benefits of this design are that by integrating at least part of the air intake duct into the installation area, the space occupied by traditional air intake ducts can be effectively improved. This design optimizes the spatial layout between the cleaning mechanism and the vacuuming components, thereby improving the overall structural compactness of the cleaning equipment and enabling a smaller product design.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, along the height direction of the cleaning mechanism, the first driving member is disposed on the side of the base close to the cleaning member.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this design are: the first drive unit can make full use of the installation space under the base, thereby reserving more installation space above the first drive unit to better arrange the aforementioned components such as the vacuum fan and air intake duct, which can further optimize the space utilization of the machine body and improve the overall compactness of the cleaning equipment structure.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the base includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part extends along the height direction of the cleaning mechanism, and the second connecting part is connected to the end of the first connecting part near the cleaning component and connected to the machine body. An installation cavity is provided at the connection position of the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and the first driving component is accommodated in the installation cavity. The installation area includes the area formed by the first connecting part and the second connecting part located above the first driving component.

[0015] The advantages of this design are as follows: By creating a mounting cavity between the first and second connecting parts, it ensures that the mounting area is formed on the side of the base closer to the cleaning component, i.e., below the base, thus ensuring a larger mounting area is formed above the first drive component. Furthermore, the mounting cavity also protects the first drive component, reducing the risk of damage caused by accidental collisions with the external environment and other components within the mounting area (such as the vacuum cleaner fan), thereby improving the reliability of the cleaning equipment.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second axis extends along the height direction of the cleaning device, the first driving member is arranged in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the height direction of the cleaning device, and the first axis and the second axis are at a preset angle of 90° to form an installation area above the first driving member.

[0017] The advantages of this design are: it allows the first drive component to be arranged horizontally relative to the base. This not only reduces the space occupied by the first drive component in the vertical direction, thus reserving a larger installation area above it, but also makes the horizontally arranged first drive component easier to position and install on the base, improving assembly efficiency and accuracy.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism further includes a transmission component, which includes a power input end and a power output end. The power input end is connected to the rotation output end, and the power output end is connected to the swing arm to drive the cleaning component to move between the inward position and the outward swing position. The transmission component is disposed on the side of the base close to the cleaning component.

[0019] The advantages of this design are: by setting up the transmission assembly, the spatial angular relationship between the first and second rotating axes can be flexibly adjusted. Specifically, this can be achieved by changing the structure of the transmission assembly (e.g., using bevel gears for vertical transmission, or using helical gears or a custom linkage mechanism for non-90° angle transmission) or its installation position (e.g., adjusting the offset distance or using an inclined arrangement). This design allows the first drive component to be horizontally positioned to the side of the base, without needing to be coaxially arranged with the second rotating axis. Compared to direct drive solutions, this method makes it easier to create an installation area above the first drive component. Furthermore, for different cleaning scenario requirements (such as small-angle swing in narrow areas or large-angle coverage in open areas), only the transmission assembly needs to be adjusted or replaced to quickly switch the angle configuration of the two axes. The entire drive system does not need to be replaced, thus improving the product's adaptability and maintainability.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission component includes a first gear and a second gear that mesh with each other. The first gear is connected to the rotary output end to form a power input end. The second gear is an end face gear structure to form a power output end, and the second gear rotates around a second axis.

[0021] The advantages of this design are as follows: Since the tooth surface of the end gear is located on its end face (i.e., a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second gear), the power transmission direction can be changed from the axial direction of the first gear to the radial direction of the second gear when meshing with the first gear. This structural design allows the rotation axis of the second gear (second axis) to be spatially perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first gear (first axis) (usually intersecting at 90°), thus avoiding spatial stacking of the gear pairs in the vertical direction. Therefore, a larger installation area can be freed up directly above the first drive component to facilitate the installation of other components (such as a vacuum cleaner fan), further improving the overall compactness of the cleaning equipment.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one first stop is provided at one end of the base near the second gear, and at least one second stop is provided on the second gear accordingly; when the cleaning component is in the retracted position and / or in the outward swing position, the first stop and the second stop can stop each other; and / or, a third stop is provided on the side of the base facing the swing arm, and a fourth stop is provided on the side of the swing arm facing the base, and when the cleaning component is in the retracted position, the third stop and the fourth stop can stop each other.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: By incorporating a first and a second stop, and ensuring their mutual interlocking, not only is precise positioning of the cleaning component in both the retracted and outward positions guaranteed, but it also prevents the cleaning component from deviating from its predetermined position due to inertia or external forces during movement, thereby improving the stability and consistency of the cleaning effect. Furthermore, compared to transmission structures that rely solely on the self-locking performance of the first drive component or transmission assembly, the contact between the first and second stops in this design provides additional mechanical restraint, reducing the stress on the transmission assembly or the first drive component and improving long-term reliability. Additionally, the mutual interlocking of the third and fourth stops creates an additional stopping effect when the first and second stops fail, further enhancing the stability of the cleaning component in the retracted position.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism further includes a magnetic suction component, which includes a magnet and a magnetic suction body. The magnet and the magnetic suction body are respectively disposed on the opposite sidewalls of the base and the swing arm. When the cleaning component is in the retracted position, the magnet and the magnetic suction body are magnetically connected to each other.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: By incorporating a magnetic suction component, when the cleaning component retracts to its inward position, the magnet and magnetic suction body can attract each other, thus providing auxiliary fixation. This not only reduces the probability of the cleaning component's movement or displacement affecting the accuracy of the cleaning position and the cleaning effect during operation, but also allows the magnetic suction component to serve as a passive redundancy design. Even if the first drive component fails to self-lock due to long-term wear, it can still provide stable fixing force, thereby reducing the risk of sudden malfunctions during cleaning operations.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism further includes a connector and a rotating shaft. The swing arm includes a rotating part, and the connector and the rotating part are rotatably connected to the base via the rotating shaft. One end of the connector is connected to the power output end, and the other end is connected to the rotating part, so as to drive the swing arm to rotate around the second axis when the first driving member is running.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: By incorporating a connector, a rotating part, and a rotating shaft, and by connecting the connector and the rotating part to the base via the rotating shaft, this structural design not only facilitates the disassembly and connection of the swing arm, the connector, and the base, making maintenance and component replacement easier, but also allows the swing arm's movement to be precisely controlled, thereby improving the motion accuracy of the cleaning mechanism, since the connector can directly transmit power from the power output end to the swing arm.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member includes a first abutting part, and the rotating part includes a second abutting part, the first abutting part and the second abutting part abutting each other; when the cleaning member switches from the outward swing position to the inward retraction position, the swing arm realizes the rotation around the second axis through the mutual abutting of the first abutting part and the second abutting part.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: when the cleaning component switches from the outward swing position to the inward retraction position, the swing arm can rotate around the second axis through the mutual contact of the first and second abutment parts. This design utilizes the rigid contact between the abutment parts to directly transmit the driving force of the swing arm to the rotating part, reducing energy loss in intermediate links (such as deformation of flexible parts or hinge gaps). Therefore, the transmission efficiency is higher, making the switching of the cleaning component from the outward swing position to the inward retraction position more responsive.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism further includes an elastic element, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the connecting member and the rotating part. When the cleaning member switches from the inward position to the outward swing position, the connecting member drives the swing arm to rotate synchronously under the pre-pressure of the elastic element; and when the cleaning member is in the outward swing position, the elastic element can be compressed or stretched to produce elastic deformation.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: By incorporating an elastic element, on the one hand, when the cleaning component is in an outward swing position and is squeezed by an obstacle, the elastic element can provide cushioning, preventing the cleaning component from rigidly colliding with the base, thereby reducing the risk of damage; on the other hand, since the cleaning component is always subjected to a frictional force opposite to the direction of rotation of the swinging component during its swinging process, the elastic force of the elastic element can partially offset this frictional force, which helps to improve the stability of the cleaning mechanism's operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0058] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0059] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0060] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present invention.

[0061] Please see Figures 1 to 22 This utility model provides a cleaning device that, by establishing a preset angular relationship between the rotation axis of the first drive member 130 and the rotation axis of the swing arm 121, forms a mounting area 111 above the first drive member 130 for mounting the vacuuming component 300. This design optimizes the spatial layout of the cleaning mechanism 100 and the vacuuming component 300 on the body 200, thereby improving the overall structural compactness of the cleaning device and reducing its overall size.

[0062] The cleaning equipment provided in the embodiments of this utility model can be a self-moving cleaning robot or a handheld floor scrubber. The self-moving cleaning robot can be a mopping robot or a sweeping and mopping robot, etc. In the following embodiments, a self-moving cleaning robot is used as an example to describe some of its components.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment includes a body 200 and a cleaning mechanism 100. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 6 The cleaning mechanism 100 includes: a base 110, a cleaning component 120, and a first drive component 130.

[0064] The base 110 is mounted on the body 200, and the mounting method can be a snap-fit ​​connection, a bolt connection, etc. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cleaning assembly 120 includes a swing arm 121 and a cleaning component 122. The swing arm 121 drives the cleaning component 122 to move relative to the base 110, so that the cleaning component 122 has an inward retracted position and an outward swing position. Specifically, the swing arm 121 is rotatably connected to the base 110, and the rotation method includes, but is not limited to, a rotatable connection via a rotating shaft. The cleaning component 122 is connected to the swing arm 121. The cleaning component 122 can be any structure capable of cleaning the surface to be cleaned, such as a roller brush structure, a tracked wiping cloth structure, or a wiping cloth tray structure. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the cleaning component 122 is a wiping cloth tray structure. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 The cleaning tray structure includes a rotating mechanism 400. The rotating mechanism 400 rotates the cleaning tray structure around its own axis to perform cleaning operations. The cleaning component 122 is connected to the swing arm 121 via the rotating mechanism 400. Optionally, the rotating mechanism 400 may also have a lifting function to allow the cleaning tray structure to rise and fall relative to the base 110. In the lowered position, the cleaning component 122 contacts the surface to be cleaned to perform the cleaning operation. In the raised position, the cleaning component 122 disengages from the surface to be cleaned, stopping the cleaning operation.

[0065] It should be noted that the structure of the mop tray rotating through the rotating mechanism 400 and the structure of the rotating mechanism 400 having a lifting function are both conventional structural settings of existing cleaning equipment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 13 The first driving member 130 is disposed on the base 110 and has a rotary output end 131 that rotates about a first axis 132. The first driving member 130 can be any mechanism capable of providing the rotary output end 131, such as a motor, a combination of a motor and a reducer, or a hydraulic motor. Optionally, in this embodiment, the first driving member 130 is a motor, which can be a common brushed motor or a brushless motor. To further reduce the installation space of the first driving member 130, in this embodiment, the motor is preferably a brushless motor.

[0067] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 13The first driving member 130 drives the swing arm 121 to rotate around the second axis 1211, thereby switching the cleaning member 122 between an inward position and an outward position. It should be noted that the first driving member 130 can directly drive the swing arm 121 to rotate around the second axis 1211, or it can indirectly drive the swing arm 121 to rotate around the second axis 1211 through other transmission components (such as gear assemblies, pulley transmission assemblies, etc.). Specifically, the extension direction of the second axis 1211 is consistent with the height direction of the cleaning equipment. In the inward position, the edge of the cleaning member 122 is located within the widest edge projection area of ​​the body 200. In the outward position, at least a portion of the edge of the cleaning member 122 is located outside the widest edge projection area of ​​the body. When the cleaning component 120 needs to clean the corners of the surface to be cleaned, the first drive member 130 operates, driving the swing arm 121 to rotate, thereby causing the cleaning component 122 to rotate from the retracted position to the outward swing position, so that at least part of the edge of the cleaning component 122 is outside the widest edge projection area of ​​the body 200, thus completing the corner cleaning. When the cleaning component 120 needs to perform normal cleaning of the surface to be cleaned (without cleaning the corners), the first drive member 130 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the swing arm 121 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the cleaning component 122 to rotate from the outward swing position to the retracted position.

[0068] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the body 200 may be provided with only one cleaning mechanism 100, which has the outward swing function described in the above embodiment. In other embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, two sets of cleaning mechanisms 100 can also be installed on the body 200, with the two sets of cleaning mechanisms 100 located respectively in the width direction of the body 200 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 On both sides of the cleaning mechanism 100 (as shown in the X-axis direction), and arranged approximately side-by-side in the width direction of the body 200. One set of the two cleaning mechanisms 100 has the outward swing function described in the above embodiment, while the other set does not have the outward swing function. In the direction of travel of the cleaning equipment (as shown in the X-axis direction), the cleaning mechanisms 100 are arranged approximately side-by-side in the X-axis direction. Figure 1 As shown in the N-axis direction, the cleaning mechanism 100 with outward swing function is located on the right side of the body 200 in the width direction. Of course, in other embodiments, both sets of cleaning mechanisms 100 may have outward swing function.

[0069] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The first axis 132 and the second axis 1211 are at a predetermined angle to form a mounting area 111 for mounting at least a portion of the structure of the vacuum assembly 300, at least above the first drive member 130. For ease of description, the predetermined angle between the first axis 132 and the second axis 1211 is defined as the predetermined angle A (e.g., ...). Figure 6(As shown). Provided that the installation area 111 can be formed, the specific size of the preset angle A between the first axis 132 and the second axis 1211 is not limited. For example, the preset angle A can be 0°, meaning the first axis 132 and the second axis 1211 are parallel; it can also be any other angle such as an acute angle or an obtuse angle.

[0070] In the above embodiment, by setting the first axis 132 and the second axis 1211 to a preset angular relationship, an installation area 111 for mounting at least a portion of the structure of the vacuuming assembly 300 is formed above the first drive member 130. This installation area 111 allows the vacuuming assembly 300 to be compactly installed with the cleaning mechanism 100 within a limited space, thereby improving the problem of redundant overall size of the cleaning equipment caused by unreasonable arrangement of the two components, especially reducing space waste in the height direction. Therefore, this arrangement helps to reduce the overall height of the cleaning equipment, making it more suitable for space-constrained usage scenarios, such as small homes or narrow work areas, significantly enhancing the applicability and flexibility of the cleaning equipment. Simultaneously, by reasonably setting the preset angle of the first axis 132 and the second axis 1211, the size of the installation area 111 can be flexibly adjusted. This adjustment method does not require changes to the installation positions of other components on the body 200, thus offering better operability and easier implementation.

[0071] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the dust collection assembly 300 includes a dust box 310, a dust collection fan 320, and an air outlet duct 330. The dust box 310 is installed on the body 200, and the dust inlet 311 and the dust collection fan 320 form an air outlet path through the air outlet duct 330. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The dustbin 310 contains a filter, which can be made of various materials, including but not limited to HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, activated carbon filters, polyester fiber filters, or nylon fiber filters. The dustbin 310 also includes an air outlet 312, which is connected to the air outlet duct 330 via a vacuum cleaner fan 320. The filter is positioned between the dust inlet 311 and the air outlet 312. When the vacuum cleaner fan 320 is running, the airflow path in the air outlet duct is as follows: First, a suction force is generated at the dust inlet 311, drawing dust, debris, and other dirt into the dustbin 310. Then, the clean air purified by the filter flows within the air outlet duct, passing sequentially through the air outlet 312, the vacuum cleaner fan 320, and the air outlet duct 330, finally being discharged to the outside of the cleaning equipment. This allows for efficient and reliable dust collection from the cleaning equipment.

[0072] Qing Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The vacuum cleaner fan 320 is installed on the body 200 and is at least partially located within the installation area 111. The specific installation position between the vacuum cleaner fan 320 and the base 110 is not limited; the vacuum cleaner fan 320 and the base 110 can be arranged in a front-to-back direction or a left-to-right direction. Optionally, in this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 Along the direction of travel of the cleaning equipment, the vacuum cleaner 320 is positioned on the front side of the base 110 and is at least partially located within the mounting area 111 in the lateral direction. In the height direction of the cleaning equipment, the vacuum cleaner 320 may be positioned above, flush with, or below the base 110, as long as it ensures that at least a portion of the vacuum cleaner 320 is located within the mounting area 111 in the height direction.

[0073] In this embodiment, by placing at least a portion of the vacuum cleaner fan 320 within the installation area 111, a spatial nesting relationship can be formed between it and the base 110. Compared to traditional parallel or stacked arrangements, this design reduces the space required for installation. This layout not only optimizes the space utilization of the cleaning equipment in the vertical direction but also effectively reduces the lateral dimensions, thereby improving the overall structural compactness of the cleaning equipment and achieving a smaller structural design. Therefore, this solution can improve the additional space waste caused by the independent installation of the vacuum cleaner fan 320 in traditional layouts, further reducing the overall size of the cleaning equipment while maintaining the efficient vacuuming performance of the vacuuming assembly 300.

[0074] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, along the width direction of the body 200, the cleaning mechanism 100 is disposed on one side of the body 200, and the dust inlet 311 is disposed on the same side of the cleaning mechanism 100. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 100 has two sets, one of which has an outward swing function. The two sets of cleaning mechanisms 100 are respectively disposed on both sides of the width direction of the body 200. The dust inlet 311 being disposed on the same side of the cleaning mechanism 100 means that the dust inlet 311 is disposed on the same side of the cleaning mechanism 100 with the outward swing function. The specific placement of the dust box 310 on the body 200 is not limited. Optionally, in this embodiment, the dust box 310 is disposed approximately at the center position along the width direction of the body 200.

[0075] In the above embodiment, by placing the cleaning mechanism 100 on one side of the width direction of the body 200 and placing the dust inlet 311 on the same side as the cleaning mechanism 100, dust, debris, and other dirt can be promptly sucked into the dust box 310 after being swept by the cleaning mechanism 100. This design not only reduces the possibility of dust, debris, and other dirt spreading during the cleaning process but also improves suction efficiency, thereby enabling faster removal of dirt from the surface to be cleaned. Simultaneously, this design facilitates suction operation when the cleaning equipment is equipped with a cantilevered roller brush structure, helping to ensure effective suction in roller brush cleaning mode. Furthermore, the fact that the cleaning mechanism 100 and the dust inlet 311 are on the same side means that the suction fan 320 can be positioned closer to the cleaning mechanism 100, allowing for a more compact arrangement of the suction fan 320 and the cleaning mechanism 100 on the body 200, thus reducing the internal installation space occupied by the suction fan 320.

[0076] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the body 200 includes an air inlet duct 210, which communicates with the dust box 310 to form an air inlet path when the base station of the cleaning equipment collects dust from the dust box 310. The air inlet duct 210 is at least partially located within the installation area 111. Specifically, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The dust box 310 also includes an air inlet 313 and a dust collection port 314. The air inlet duct 210 is connected to the air inlet 313 of the dust box 310, and the dust collection port 314 can be connected to the exhaust port of the base station. It should be noted that when the cleaning equipment is performing normal dust collection operations, the air inlet 313 and the dust collection port 314 of the dust box 310 are in a closed state to achieve the dust collection function of the dust box 310. When dust, debris, and other dirt in the dust box 310 need to be cleaned, the cleaning equipment stops cleaning operations, the dust inlet 311 and the air outlet 312 are closed, and at the same time, the air inlet 313 and the dust collection port 314 are opened. The base station's exhaust system operates, and the dirt in the dust box 310 is sucked into the base station's dust collection bag through the dust collection port 314. Meanwhile, external air is supplied to the dust box 310 through the air intake duct 210 and the air inlet 313, forming a two-way airflow path (sucking out dirt + supplying fresh air) to better ensure that the dirt in the dust box 310 is thoroughly cleaned.

[0077] It should be noted that you should refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2In this embodiment, the air inlet duct 210 can be a virtual air duct formed between the air inlet 313 and the outer side of the body 200, that is, an airflow channel naturally formed by the space between the air inlet 313 and the outer side of the body 200. When the air inlet 313 is opened, external airflow flows into the air inlet 313 through this virtual air duct. In this scheme, at least a portion of the air inlet duct 210 is located within the installation area 111, meaning that at least a portion of the installation area 111 constitutes part of the virtual air duct so that airflow will flow through the installation area 111 when it enters the air inlet 313. In another embodiment, the air inlet duct 210 can also be a physical pipe connected to the air inlet 313. When the air inlet 313 is opened, external airflow is transported to the air inlet 313 through the physical pipe. In this scheme, at least a portion of the physical pipe is arranged within the installation area 111.

[0078] In this embodiment, provided that the air inlet duct 210 is at least partially located within the installation area 111, the vacuum cleaner 320 is also at least partially located within the installation area 111. Of course, it can be understood that even if the air inlet duct 210 is at least partially located within the installation area 111, the vacuum cleaner 320 may not be located within the installation area 111.

[0079] In the above embodiments, by integrating the air intake duct 210 at least partially into the installation area 111, the problem of the traditional air intake duct 210 occupying space in the body 200 can be effectively improved. This design can optimize the spatial layout between the cleaning mechanism 100 and the dust collection component 300, thereby improving the overall structural compactness of the cleaning equipment and achieving a smaller product design.

[0080] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of this utility model, along the height direction of the cleaning mechanism 100 (e.g. Figure 7 (As shown in the Z-axis direction), the first drive member 130 is disposed on the side of the base 110 near the cleaning member 122. It should be noted that the height direction of the cleaning mechanism 100 is consistent with the height direction of the cleaning equipment. The side of the base 110 near the cleaning member 122 is defined as the lower part, and the side of the base 110 away from the cleaning member 122 is defined as the upper part. The first drive member 130 is disposed on the side of the base 110 near the cleaning member 122, that is, the first drive member 130 is disposed on the lower part of the base 110. With this arrangement, the first drive member 130 can make full use of the installation space below the base 110, thereby reserving more installation space above the first drive member 130, so as to better arrange the aforementioned components such as the vacuum fan 320 and the air inlet duct 210, and further optimize the space utilization of the body 200 and improve the compactness of the overall structure of the cleaning equipment.

[0081] Provided that the installation requirements of the cleaning component 120 and the first drive component 130 are met, there are no restrictions on the specific structure of the base 110. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 and Figure 11 Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the base 110 includes a first connecting portion 112 and a second connecting portion 113, the first connecting portion 112 extending along the height direction of the cleaning mechanism 100. The second connecting portion 113 is connected to the end of the first connecting portion 112 near the cleaning component 122 and is connected to the body 200. A mounting cavity 114 is provided at the connection position of the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113, and the first driving component 130 is accommodated in the mounting cavity 114. The mounting cavity 114 can be a closed cavity structure or a semi-enclosed open cavity structure, etc.

[0082] The mounting cavity 114 may be partially formed on the first connecting portion 112 and partially formed on the second connecting portion 113. Alternatively, the mounting cavity 114 may be entirely formed on the first connecting portion 112 or entirely formed on the second connecting portion 113. The mounting area 111 includes the area formed by the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113 above the first driving member 130. Further, please refer to... Figure 11 The base 110 may further include a third connecting portion 117, which is connected to the side of the second connecting portion 113 opposite to the cleaning component 122, and the extending direction of the third connecting portion 117 is opposite to the extending direction of the second connecting portion 113. A receiving cavity 118 is formed between the third connecting portion 117 and the second connecting portion 113, which is used to receive the cleaning component 122 when it is in the retracted position.

[0083] In this embodiment, by providing a mounting cavity 114 between the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 113, it is ensured that the mounting area 111 is formed on the side of the base 110 near the cleaning component 122, i.e., below the base 110, thereby ensuring that a large mounting area 111 can be formed above the first driving component 130. On the other hand, the mounting cavity 114 also provides protection for the first driving component 130, reducing the risk of damage to the first driving component 130 due to accidental collisions with the external environment and other components (such as the vacuum cleaner fan 320) within the mounting area 111, thereby improving the reliability of the cleaning equipment.

[0084] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 13In one embodiment of this utility model, the second axis 1211 extends along the height direction (i.e., the vertical direction) of the cleaning device, and the first driving member 130 is arranged in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the height direction of the cleaning device. The first axis 132 and the second axis 1211 form a preset angle relationship of 90°, so as to form an installation area 111 above the first driving member 130. Since the first driving member 130 is arranged in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the height direction of the cleaning device, the first driving member 130 can be arranged horizontally relative to the base 110. This not only reduces the space occupied by the first driving member 130 in the height direction of the cleaning mechanism 100, thereby reserving a larger installation area 111 above the first driving member 130, but also makes it easier for the horizontally arranged first driving member 130 to be positioned and installed on the base 110, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency and accuracy of the cleaning mechanism assembly.

[0085] Please see Figure 13 and Figure 14 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism 100 further includes a transmission assembly 140, which includes a power input end 141 and a power output end 142. The power input end 141 is connected to the rotation output end 131, and the power output end 142 is connected to the swing arm 121 to drive the cleaning component 122 to move between an inward position and an outward swing position. The transmission assembly 140 is disposed on the side of the base 110 near the cleaning component 122. Specifically, the transmission assembly 140 can be any assembly such as a gear assembly or a pulley assembly that can drive the swing arm 121 to rotate when the first driving member 130 is running. The transmission assembly 140 is disposed on the side of the base 110 near the cleaning component 122, that is, at a position close to the first driving member 130.

[0086] In this embodiment, the spatial angular relationship between the first axis 132 and the second axis 1211 can be flexibly adjusted by setting the transmission component 140. Specifically, this can be achieved by changing the structure of the transmission component 140 (e.g., using bevel gears to achieve vertical transmission, or using helical gears or a customized linkage mechanism to achieve non-90° angle transmission) or its installation position (e.g., adjusting the offset distance or using an inclined arrangement). This design allows the first drive component 130 to be horizontally positioned to the side of the base 110 without needing to be coaxially arranged with the second axis 1211. Compared to direct drive solutions, this method makes it easier to form an installation area 111 above the first drive component 130. Furthermore, for different cleaning scenario requirements (such as small-angle swing in narrow areas or large-angle coverage in open areas), only the transmission component 140 needs to be adjusted or replaced to quickly switch the two-axis angle configuration. The entire drive system does not need to be replaced, thereby improving the product's adaptability and maintainability.

[0087] Please see Figure 13 and Figure 14 In one embodiment of this utility model, the transmission assembly 140 includes a first gear 143 and a second gear 144 that mesh with each other. The first gear 143 is connected to the rotary output end 131, forming the power input end 141. It should be noted that the first gear 143 is a common cylindrical gear. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the first gear 143 is coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the rotary output end 131, that is, the first gear 143 rotates along the first axis 132. The second gear 144 is a face gear structure, forming the power output end 142, and the second gear 144 rotates around the second axis 1211.

[0088] Specifically, please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 The second gear 144 includes a gear body 1443 and end face teeth 1442. A support portion 119 is provided at one end of the base 110 near the first connecting portion 112. The gear body 1443 is rotatably supported on the support portion 119 via bearings. The end face teeth 1442 are formed on the axial end face of the gear body 1443 on the side opposite to the support portion 119 and mesh with the first gear 143. It should be noted that the distribution structure of the end face teeth 1442 on the gear body 1443 is not limited. For example, the end face teeth 1442 can be a complete gear ring continuously distributed around the end face of the gear body 1443 at 360°. Alternatively, the end face teeth 1442 can be sector-shaped tooth segments only within a specific circumferential angle range on the end face of the gear body 1443. In this embodiment, since the swing arm 121 only needs to swing around the second axis 1211 at a limited angle (non-continuous rotation) relative to the base 110, based on design considerations of structural simplification and cost optimization, the end face teeth 1442 of the second gear 144 adopts a sector-shaped tooth segment structure. This design can effectively reduce the machining range of the end face teeth 1442 while ensuring the transmission function, thereby reducing machining costs.

[0089] In this embodiment of the invention, since the tooth surface of the end face gear is located on its end face (i.e., a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second gear 144), when meshing with the first gear 143, the power transmission direction can be changed from the axial direction of the first gear 143 to the radial direction of the second gear 144. This structural design allows the rotation axis of the second gear 144 (second axis 1211) and the rotation axis of the first gear 143 (first axis 132) to form a spatially perpendicular relationship (usually intersecting at 90°), thereby avoiding spatial stacking of the gear pair in the vertical direction. Therefore, a larger installation area 111 can be freed up directly above the first drive member 130 to facilitate the installation of other components (such as the vacuum cleaner fan 320), thereby further improving the compactness of the overall structure of the cleaning equipment.

[0090] Please see Figures 15 to 17In one embodiment of this utility model, a first stop 115 is provided at one end of the base 110 near the second gear 144, and a corresponding second stop 1441 is provided on the second gear 144. When the cleaning component 122 is in the retracted position, the first stop 115 and the second stop 1441 can stop each other, that is, prevent the swing arm 121 from rotating further relative to the base 110, so that the cleaning component 122 is kept in the retracted position.

[0091] In another embodiment, a first stop 115 is provided at one end of the base 110 near the second gear 144, and a corresponding second stop 1441 is provided on the second gear 144. When the cleaning component 122 is in the outward swing position, the first stop 115 and the second stop 1441 can stop each other, that is, prevent the swing arm 121 from rotating further relative to the base 110, so as to keep the cleaning component 122 in the outward swing position.

[0092] In other embodiments, the base 110 near the end of the second gear 144 is provided with two first stop portions 115 spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and the second gear 144 is correspondingly provided with two second stop portions 1441 spaced apart. When the cleaning member 122 is in the retracted position, such as Figure 17 As shown, one of the first stop portions 115 and one of the second stop portions 1441 stop each other. When the cleaning component 122 is in the outward swing position, as... Figure 16 As shown, another first stop 115 and another second stop 1441 mutually stop each other.

[0093] Specifically, the outer periphery of the support portion 119 is provided with an arc-shaped notch 1191, and the two sides of the arc-shaped notch 1191 in the circumferential direction respectively form a first stop portion 115. The wheel body 1443 of the second gear 144 is provided with an arc-shaped stop block 1444 in the circumferential direction, and the arc-shaped stop block 1444 extends into the arc-shaped notch 1191 in the axial direction. The two sides of the arc-shaped stop block 1444 in the circumferential direction respectively form a second stop portion 1441. During the rotation of the second gear 144 relative to the base 110, the arc-shaped stop block 1444 rotates within the arc-shaped notch 1191, thereby achieving mutual stopping of the first stop portion 115 and the second stop portion 1441 on the same side.

[0094] In the above embodiments, by setting a first stop 115 and a second stop 1441, and ensuring that the first stop 115 and the second stop 1441 mutually stop each other, not only can the precise positioning of the cleaning component 122 in the inward and outward positions be ensured, but also the cleaning component 122 can be prevented from deviating from the predetermined position due to inertia or external force during movement, thereby improving the stability and consistency of the cleaning effect. Furthermore, compared to a transmission structure that relies solely on the self-locking performance of the first drive component 130 or the transmission assembly 140 to achieve limiting braking, the contact between the first stop 115 and the second stop 1441 in this solution provides additional mechanical limiting, reducing the force on the transmission assembly 140 or the first drive component 130, and improving the reliability for long-term use.

[0095] To further improve the stability of the cleaning component 122 when it is in the retracted position, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 18 and Figure 19 In one embodiment of this utility model, a third stop 116 is provided on the side of the base 110 facing the swing arm 121, and a fourth stop 1212 is provided on the side of the swing arm 121 facing the base 110. When the cleaning component 122 is in the retracted position, the third stop 116 and the fourth stop 1212 can stop each other. It should be noted that the specific location of the third stop 116 on the base 110 and the specific location of the fourth stop 1212 on the swing arm 121 are not limited.

[0096] Compared to the above embodiment with the first stop 115 and the second stop 1441, this solution, through the mutual blocking of the third stop 116 and the fourth stop 1212, can form an additional blocking effect when the first stop 115 and the second stop 1441 fail, thereby further improving the stability of the cleaning component 122 when it is in the retracted position.

[0097] Please see Figure 19 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism 100 further includes a magnetic suction assembly 150, which includes a magnet 151 and a magnetic suction body 152. The magnet 151 and the magnetic suction body 152 are respectively disposed on the opposite sidewalls of the base 110 and the swing arm 121. When the cleaning component 122 is in the retracted position, the magnet 151 and the magnetic suction body 152 are magnetically connected to each other. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 19In one embodiment, the magnet 151 may be disposed on the base 110, and the magnetic attractor 152 may be disposed on the swing arm 121. In another embodiment, the magnet 151 may be disposed on the swing arm 121, and the magnetic attractor 152 may be disposed on the base 110. The magnetic attractor 152 may be a magnetic material, such as a soft magnetic material (e.g., silicon steel sheet, iron-based alloy, etc.) or a magnetically conductive material (e.g., iron, nickel, cobalt, and their alloys). The specific position where the magnet 151 and the magnetic attractor 152 attract each other is not limited. Optionally, in this embodiment, the position where the magnet 151 and the magnetic attractor 152 attract each other is close to the location of the third stop portion 116 and the fourth stop portion 1212.

[0098] In this embodiment, by providing the magnetic suction assembly 150, when the cleaning component 122 retracts to its inward position, the magnet 151 and the magnetic suction body 152 can attract each other, thereby forming an auxiliary fixing effect. This not only reduces the probability that the cleaning component 122 will affect the accuracy of the cleaning position and the cleaning effect due to shaking or displacement during operation, but also allows the magnetic suction assembly 150 to be designed as a passive redundancy. Even when the first driving component 130 fails to self-lock due to long-term wear, it can still provide a stable fixing force, thereby reducing the risk of sudden failures during the cleaning operation.

[0099] Please see Figure 17 and Figure 20 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism 100 further includes a connector 160 and a rotating shaft 170. The swing arm 121 includes a main body 1214 and a rotating part 1213, and the cleaning component 122 is connected to the main body 1214. The connector 160 and the rotating part 1213 are rotatably connected to the base 110 via the rotating shaft 170. One end of the connector 160 is connected to the power output end 142, and the other end is connected to the rotating part 1213, so that when the first driving member 130 is running, it drives the swing arm 121 to rotate around the second axis 1211.

[0100] Specifically, the connector 160 is fixedly connected to the end of the second gear 144 opposite to the support portion 119. The fixed connection can be achieved by bolting or by an integral molding connection, etc. Optionally, in this embodiment, the connector 160 and the second gear 144 are integrally molded parts. Please refer to... Figure 17Along the height direction of the base 110, the connector 160 and the rotating part 1213 are disposed between the third connecting part 117 and the support part 119, and the rotating shaft 170 passes through the third connecting part 117 and the support part 119. The connector 160 and the rotating part 1213 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 170 via bearings. The connection structure between the connector 160 and the rotating part 1213 is not limited. For example, the connector 160 can be snapped and fixedly connected to the rotating part 1213, or it can be connected to each other in the circumferential direction, or it can be fixedly connected to each other through other connection structures, etc., as long as the connector 160 can drive the swing arm 121 to rotate synchronously when the first driving member 130 drives the connector 160 to run.

[0101] Optionally, please refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21 In this embodiment, both the connector 160 and the rotating part 1213 are approximately semi-cylindrical structures arranged coaxially. The connector 160 and the rotating part 1213 are arranged coaxially and rotated, and are fixed to each other in the circumferential direction, so that when the first driving member 130 is running, the connector 160 can drive the swing arm 121 to rotate synchronously around the second axis 1211.

[0102] In this embodiment, by providing a connector 160, a rotating part 1213, and a rotating shaft 170, and by rotatably connecting the connector 160 and the rotating part 1213 to the base 110 via the rotating shaft 170, this structural design not only facilitates the disassembly and connection between the swing arm 121, the connector 160, and the base 110, making maintenance and component replacement easier, but also, since the connector 160 can directly transmit the power from the power output end 142 to the swing arm 121, the movement of the swing arm 121 can be precisely controlled, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the cleaning mechanism 100.

[0103] Based on the above embodiments, please further refer to... Figure 21 In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting member 160 includes a first abutting portion 161, and the rotating portion 1213 includes a second abutting portion 12131, with the first abutting portion 161 and the second abutting portion 12131 abutting against each other. When the cleaning member 122 switches from the outward swing position to the inward retraction position, the swing arm 121 rotates around the second axis 1211 through the mutual abutment of the first abutting portion 161 and the second abutting portion 12131. Specifically, a first abutment portion 161 is formed on one side end face of the connector 160 in the circumferential direction, and a second abutment portion 12131 is formed on one side end face of the rotating portion 1213 facing the connector 160. The first abutment portion 161 and the second abutment portion 12131 abut against each other in the circumferential direction, so that when the cleaning component 122 switches from the outward swing position to the inward retraction position, the swing arm 121 can rotate around the second axis 1211 through the mutual abutment of the first abutment portion 161 and the second abutment portion 12131.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the cleaning component 122 switches from the outward swing position to the inward retraction position, the swing arm 121 can rotate around the second axis 1211 through the mutual contact of the first abutment portion 161 and the second abutment portion 12131. This arrangement can directly transmit the driving force of the swing arm 121 to the rotating portion 1213 by utilizing the rigid contact between the abutment portions, reducing energy loss in intermediate links (such as deformation of flexible parts or hinge gaps). Therefore, the transmission efficiency is higher, making the response of the cleaning component 122 more rapid when switching from the outward swing position to the inward retraction position.

[0105] Please see Figure 20 and Figure 21 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism 100 further includes an elastic element 180, with both ends of the elastic element 180 connected to the connecting element 160 and the rotating part 1213, respectively. When the cleaning element 122 is in the outward swing position, the elastic element 180 can be compressed or stretched to produce elastic deformation. Specifically, the elastic element 180 is disposed within the cavity formed by the connecting element 160 and the rotating part 1213, and the elastic element 180 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 170. One end of the elastic element 180 abuts against the connecting element 160, and the other end of the elastic element 180 abuts against the rotating part. When the cleaning element 122 switches from the inward position to the outward swing position, the connecting element 160, under the pre-pressure of the elastic element 180, drives the swing arm 121 to rotate synchronously.

[0106] The elastic element 180 can be a torsion spring, compression spring, or tension spring, or it can be an elastic structural component made of elastic rubber or the like. Optionally, in this embodiment, the elastic element 180 is a torsion spring, which can maintain the stability of the connection between the connecting member 160 and the swing arm 121 when the cleaning member 122 switches between the outward swing position and the inward retraction position. In this embodiment, one torsion spring is provided; in other embodiments, the number of torsion springs can also be set to other numbers, such as two torsion springs. In this embodiment, the two torsion arms of the torsion spring abut against the connecting member 160 and the rotating part 1213 respectively, and the torsion spring is kept in a pre-compressed state with a certain pre-tension force. When the first driving member 130 runs, the power it generates is transmitted to the connecting member 160, and the connecting member 160 transmits the power to the rotating part 1213 through the torsion spring in the pre-tensioned state, thereby driving the swing arm 121 to rotate synchronously.

[0107] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 20When the cleaning component 122 is in the outward swing position, the elastic element 180 can be compressed or stretched to produce elastic deformation. Specifically, a buffer gap 190 is formed between the side of the rotating part 1213 without the second abutment part 12131 and the side of the connecting part 160 without the first abutment part 161. That is, the two parts do not contact each other in the circumferential direction and maintain a certain circumferential angle α between them. The range of this circumferential angle α can be set to 40–60°. When the cleaning component 122 is in the outward swing position, if it is squeezed by external obstacles (such as table legs or wall corners) during operation, the external force acts on the cleaning component 122 and drives the rotating part 1213 of the swing arm 121 in the opposite direction, causing it to rotate relative to the connecting part 160 within the range of the circumferential angle α. During rotation, the elastic element 180 is compressed or stretched, thereby producing elastic deformation. The deformation of the elastic element 180 absorbs the impact energy, forming a buffer protection for the cleaning component 120 and preventing it from rigidly colliding with the base 110. When the external force disappears, the elastic element 180 returns to its original state and drives the cleaning component 120 back to its initial working position.

[0108] In this embodiment, by providing an elastic element 180, on the one hand, when the cleaning component 122 is in the outward swing position and is squeezed by an obstacle, the elastic element 180 can provide cushioning, preventing the cleaning component 122 from rigidly colliding with the base 110, thereby reducing the risk of damage. Simultaneously, since the cleaning component 122 is always subjected to a frictional force opposite to the rotation direction of the swing arm 121 during its swing, the elastic force of the elastic element 180 can partially offset this frictional force, helping to improve the operational stability of the cleaning mechanism 100.

[0109] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
