[0049] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0050] Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a body 1, a water replenishment device 2, a drive device 3, and a scraper 41.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The water replenishment device 2 is elastic and is mounted on the body 1. The water replenishment device 2 is made of an elastic material, such as silicone or other materials. The water replenishment device 2 can be a water outlet, a water nozzle, or other similar structure.

[0053] The drive unit 3 is located inside the body 1.

[0054] The scraper 41 is located on the outside of the machine body 1. The drive device 3 drives the scraper 41 to move relative to the water replenishment device 2 so that the scraper 41 scrapes the water replenishment device 2.

[0055] The cleaning equipment includes a body 1, a water replenishment device 2, a drive device 3, and a scraper 41. The drive device 3 drives the scraper 41 to move relative to the water replenishment device 2, and the scraper 41 scrapes the water replenishment device 2, causing the accumulated impurities and scale in the water replenishment device 2 to fall off, reducing the occurrence of clogging in the water replenishment device 2, and ensuring the cleaning effect and stability of the cleaning equipment.

[0056] The cleaning equipment also includes bracket 4, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bracket 4 is used to set the cleaning component 5 and is movably set on one side of the body 1. The bracket 4 is provided with a scraper 41 facing the direction of the body 1. The drive device 3 is connected to the bracket 4 and can drive the bracket 4 to move to a first height position and a second height position. When the bracket 4 is at the first height position, the cleaning component 5 can contact the cleaning area. When the bracket 4 is at the second height position, the cleaning component 5 can be separated from the cleaning area. The drive device 3 can drive the bracket 4 at the second height position to move, so that the bracket 4 and the water replenishment device 2 form relative movement, so that the scraper 41 scrapes the water replenishment device 2.

[0057] In other words, when the support 4 is at the first height position, the cleaning component 5 performs the cleaning operation, which is the working state. When the support 4 is at the second height position, the support 4 and the cleaning component 5 are retracted, which is the non-working state.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first height position is closer to the ground, and is the height at which the cleaning component 5 can contact the ground. The second height position is farther from the ground than the first height position, and is the height at which the cleaning component 5 cannot contact the ground. The switching between the first height position and the second height position of the bracket 4 is achieved by the lifting and lowering of the bracket 4 through the drive device 3. In this embodiment, the lifting and lowering is vertical, and is perpendicular to the ground.

[0059] Cleaning component 5 can be set as a mop.

[0060] When the bracket 4 is at the second height position, the drive device 3 drives the bracket 4 to move so that the scraper 41 contacts the water replenishment device 2 and the two move relative to each other.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 10 In the non-working state, the bracket 4 has been retracted. The drive device 3 drives the bracket 4 and the water replenishment device 2 to move relative to each other. When the scraper 41 on the bracket 4 passes the water replenishment device 2, it contacts the water replenishment device 2 and scrapes the water replenishment device 2, so that the impurities and scale accumulated in the water replenishment device 2 are removed, reducing the occurrence of blockage in the water replenishment device 2 and ensuring the cleaning effect and stability of the cleaning equipment.

[0062] When the scraper 41 scrapes the water replenishment device 2, the scraper 41 may only clean the surface of the water replenishment device 2, or the scraper 41 may force the water replenishment device 2 to deform.

[0063] In other embodiments, the scraper 41 may also be located at the base station of the cleaning equipment.

[0064] The water replenishment device 2 is made of rigid material and has a water outlet 21. When the scraper 41 scrapes the water replenishment device 2, the scraper 41 contacts the surface of the water replenishment device 2 where the water outlet 21 is located.

[0065] Rigid materials can be materials with small deformation, such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and plastic parts.

[0066] Flexible materials can be used for materials with large deformation, such as silicone and rubber.

[0067] For a water replenishment device 2 made of rigid material, when the scraper 41 is made of rigid material, the scraper 41 contacts the surface of the water outlet 21 of the water replenishment device 2, that is, it cleans this surface to remove accumulated impurities and scale. When the scraper 41 is made of flexible material, the scraper 41 can contact the surface of the water outlet 21 of the water replenishment device 2 to clean this surface, or it can contact other surfaces of the water replenishment device 2 other than the water outlet 21. The scraper 41 is compressed, and when cleaning the surface of the water outlet 21 of the water replenishment device 2, the contact force is greater and the cleaning effect is better.

[0068] When the water replenishment device 2 is made of a flexible material, it has a water outlet 21. When the scraper 41 scrapes the water replenishment device 2, the scraper 41 contacts the surface of the water replenishment device 2 where the water outlet 21 is located, or the scraper 41 squeezes the water replenishment device 2. When the scraper 41 is made of a rigid material, it can contact the surface of the water replenishment device 2 where the water outlet 21 is located to clean this surface, or it can contact other surfaces of the water replenishment device 2 other than the water outlet 21. The water replenishment device 2 is deformed by the squeeze, which can better remove impurities and scale. When the scraper 41 is made of a flexible material, it can contact the surface of the water replenishment device 2 where the water outlet 21 is located to clean this surface, or it can contact other surfaces of the water replenishment device 2 other than the water outlet 21. The scraper 41 will be deformed by the squeeze, and the water replenishment device 2 will also be deformed by the squeeze, which can better remove impurities and scale.

[0069] The following section details the structural features, assuming that the water replenishment device 2 is made of a flexible material and the scraper 41 is made of a rigid material.

[0070] In some embodiments, when the support 4 is in the second height position, the drive device 3 can drive the support 4 to rotate, so that the support 4 and the water replenishment device 2 form relative motion.

[0071] The drive unit 3 drives the bracket 4 to rotate, and the scraper 41 is driven by the bracket 4, thus forming a relative motion with the water replenishment device 2 on the body 1. When the scraper 41 passes the water replenishment device 2, it scrapes the water replenishment device 2, thereby causing the impurities and scale accumulated at the water replenishment device 2 to fall off.

[0072] In other embodiments, the drive device 3 can also drive the bracket 4 to move back and forth in translation, and the scraper 41 on the bracket 4 can also scrape the water replenishment device 2 when it passes the water replenishment device 2, so that the impurities and scale accumulated at the water replenishment device 2 can be removed.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The water supply device 2 has a water outlet 21 and a cut 22. The water outlet 21 is positioned facing the bracket 4 and is connected to the interior of the body 1. The cut 22 is positioned around the water outlet 21 and is connected to the water outlet 21.

[0074] The water outlet 21 of the water replenishment device 2 is connected to the water pipe inside the body 1. When it is necessary to replenish water for the cleaning component 5, the water in the water pipe flows out from the water outlet 21 and falls on the cleaning component 5 to replenish water for the cleaning component 5.

[0075] Because the water replenishment device 2 is elastic, the notch 22 makes its structural stability more susceptible to external forces and more prone to deformation. During the deformation of the water replenishment device 2 by the scraper 41, impurities and scale adhering to the surface and gaps of the water replenishment device 2 are removed due to friction, creating conditions for continuous and stable water replenishment to the equipment.

[0076] In this embodiment, the cut 22 is a groove formed on the surface of the water outlet 21. One end of the cut 22 extends to the water outlet 21, and the other end of the cut 22 extends to the outer peripheral surface of the water replenishment device 2.

[0077] The cut 22 is a through design, which increases the strain of the water replenishment device 2 when the scraper 41 scrapes, making the water replenishment device 2 easier to deform, thereby facilitating the removal of impurities and scale adhering to the surface and gaps of the water replenishment device 2.

[0078] In this embodiment, multiple cuts 22 are provided, and the multiple cuts 22 are evenly arranged around the water replenishment device 2. The cuts 22 are straight grooves, which facilitates the manufacturing and processing of the cuts 22.

[0079] In some embodiments, the scraper 41 has a plate-shaped portion 411, one end of which extends toward the rotation center of the support 4 and the other end of which extends toward the outside of the support 4. The plate-shaped portion 411 has a contact surface 411a for contacting the water replenishment device 2.

[0080] The scraper 41 can be entirely plate-shaped or partially plate-shaped. The plate-shaped part 411 is used to scrape the water replenishment device 2. The scraper is the contact surface 411a of the plate-shaped part 411. It is a surface contact, which makes it easier for the water replenishment device 2 to deform under force, and facilitates the removal of impurities and scale adhering to the surface and gaps of the water replenishment device 2.

[0081] The cross-section of the plate-shaped part 411 is set to be similar to a triangle, with the apex facing the body 1. The apex can also be set to a rounded corner.

[0082] The angle between the direction of movement of the bracket 4 during the switching process between the first height position and the second height position and the contact surface 411a of the plate-shaped part 411 is α, which satisfies: α ≥ 5°. Preferably, α can be 5°, 7°, 10°, etc.

[0083] The direction of movement during the switching process between the first and second altitude positions is actually vertical, that is... Figure 6 The angle α between the X direction and the plane containing the contact surface 411a of the plate-shaped part 411 is called α.

[0084] When this range is met, it is equivalent to the inclined plate surface contacting the water replenishment device 2, which changes the direction and point of force of the scraper 41, and uses the component force effect generated by the angle to guide the deformation of the elastic body.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the bracket 4 is at the first height position and the scraper 41 moves to the position of the corresponding water replenishment device 2, there is a gap between the scraper 41 and the water replenishment device 2.

[0086] When the cleaning equipment is in operation, there is a gap between the scraper 41 and the water replenishment device 2. During the process of the drive device 3 driving the support 4 to move the cleaning component 5 to clean the ground, although the support 4 and the water replenishment device 2 on the machine body 1 form relative movement, the two will not come into contact and will not affect the water replenishment of the water replenishment device 2 and the normal operation of the cleaning component 5.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the bracket 4 is in the second height position, the scraper 41 contacts a surface other than the surface on which the water outlet 21 is opened in the water supply device 2, so that the scraper 41 squeezes the water supply device 2.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The body 1 is provided with a through hole 11, and the water replenishment device 2 passes through the through hole 11, so that at least part of the water replenishment device 2 extends out of the body 1.

[0089] The water replenishment device 2 and the body 1 are separate. Part of the water replenishment device 2 is inside the body 1, which is used to connect the water pipe inside the body 1 and fix the position of the water replenishment device 2. Another part of the water replenishment device 2 extends out of the body 1 through the through hole 11, which is used to replenish water to the cleaning parts 5 and to deal with the deformation caused by scratching.

[0090] In some embodiments, a limiting part 12 is also provided inside the body 1. The limiting part 12 is provided for the part of the water replenishment device 2 located inside the body 1, so that the limiting part 12 limits the water replenishment device 2.

[0091] Specifically, the body 1 has a groove inside for placing water pipes or for water to flow through. A part of the water replenishment device 2 is set in the groove. The limiting part 12 is a limiting plate installed on the groove. The limiting plate is set on one side of the water replenishment device 2 and limits the position of the water replenishment device 2 to the through hole 11 to prevent the water replenishment device 2 from retracting into the body 1 when the scraper 41 scrapes.

[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
