Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a floor brush assembly, cleaning equipment, and cleaning system for a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, cleaning equipment is widely used to clean surfaces, bringing great convenience to people's lives. Cleaning equipment generally consists of a main body and a floor brush assembly, which are rotatably connected. By manipulating the main body, the floor brush assembly is controlled to move across the surface to be cleaned. The mopping components on the floor brush assembly clean the surface, and the suction port on the floor brush assembly sucks the dirt generated during the cleaning process into the cleaning equipment, thus cleaning the surface. While cleaning equipment uses the mopping components of the floor brush assembly to clean the surface, the pressure generated by the floor brush assembly is generally insufficient to thoroughly clean some stubborn or deep-seated stains. Therefore, additional pressure-applying structures are often needed to increase the pressure of the floor brush assembly on the surface.

[0003] Secondly, because the water tank of general cleaning equipment involves hot water supply and there is a possibility of water leakage, in order to avoid the battery being affected or damaged by hot water due to overheating or water contact, the battery and water tank cannot be placed in a close position and are usually placed separately. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one object of this application is to provide a floor brush assembly for a cleaning device that is compact in structure, safe to use, and has a long service life.

[0054] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0056] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0057] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited.

[0058] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0059] Cleaning equipment is widely used to clean surfaces, bringing great convenience to people's lives. Cleaning equipment generally consists of a main body and a floor brush assembly, which are rotatably connected. By manipulating the main body, the floor brush assembly is controlled to move across the surface to be cleaned. The mopping components on the floor brush assembly clean the surface, and the suction port on the floor brush assembly sucks in the dirt generated during the cleaning process, thus cleaning the surface. While cleaning equipment uses the mopping components of the floor brush assembly to clean the surface, the pressure generated by the floor brush assembly itself is generally insufficient to thoroughly clean some stubborn or deep-seated stains. Therefore, additional pressure-applying structures are often needed to increase the pressure of the floor brush assembly on the surface.

[0060] Secondly, because the water tank of general cleaning equipment involves hot water supply and there is a possibility of water leakage, in order to avoid the battery being affected or damaged by hot water due to overheating or water contact, the battery and water tank cannot be placed in a close position and are usually placed separately.

[0061] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this application provides a floor brush assembly for a cleaning device, a cleaning device, and a cleaning system.

[0062] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 Describes a floor brush assembly 100 of a cleaning device according to an embodiment of this application.

[0063] Reference Figures 1-3 According to an embodiment of this application, the floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning device includes a floor brush housing 10. The floor brush housing 10 has a first mounting cavity 11 and a second mounting cavity 12.

[0064] The floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment also includes a mopping member 20, which is used to clean the cleaning surface and is rotatably disposed on the floor brush housing 10.

[0065] Specifically, when the cleaning equipment performs a cleaning task, it can control the mopping component 20 to rotate. Since the mopping component 20 is in contact with the cleaning surface, it can clean the surface. The mopping component 20 can include one or more of the following: a cleaning roller brush, a cleaning cloth, and a side brush.

[0066] The floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment also includes a water tank 30 and a battery 40. The water tank 30 is located in a first mounting cavity 11 or a second mounting cavity 12, and the battery 40 is located in another mounting cavity where the water tank 30 is not located.

[0067] For example, if the water tank 30 is located in the first mounting cavity 11, then the battery 40 is located in the second mounting cavity 12; if the water tank 30 is located in the second mounting cavity 12, then the battery 40 is located in the first mounting cavity 11.

[0068] In the height direction of the brush housing 10, the first mounting cavity 11 is located on the side of the brush housing 10 away from the cleaning surface, and the second mounting cavity 12 is located on the side of the brush housing 10 close to the cleaning surface. The brush housing 10 houses the water tank 30 and the battery 40 in different mounting cavities.

[0069] In other words, the first mounting cavity 11 is located above the brush housing 10, and the second mounting cavity 12 is located below the brush housing 10, thus separating the first mounting cavity 11 and the second mounting cavity 12. The water tank 30 and the battery 40 are respectively located in different mounting cavities. This not only separates the water tank 30 and the battery 40 using the brush housing 10, but also, through reasonable design of the structure of the brush housing 10, effectively reduces the height of the brush housing 10, avoiding the water tank 30 and the battery 40 being placed on the surface of the brush housing 10, which would occupy a lot of space. This optimizes the layout of the brush housing 10, making the structure of the brush assembly 100 more compact and facilitating the miniaturization design of cleaning equipment.

[0070] According to the embodiments of this application, the floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment separates the water tank 30 and the battery 40 by placing them in the first mounting cavity 11 and the second mounting cavity 12 respectively. This prevents water leakage from the water tank 30 from damaging the battery 40 and also prevents hot water from the water tank 30 from affecting the battery 40, thereby protecting the battery 40. This solves the problem that the water tank 30 and the battery 40 cannot be installed too close together in the cleaning equipment, improving the safety of the cleaning equipment and extending its service life.

[0071] On the other hand, by configuring and installing the water tank 30 and battery 40 in the 10-cavity structure of the floor brush housing, the weight of the floor brush assembly 100 is further increased because both the water tank 30 and battery 40 are located on the floor brush assembly 100. This eliminates the need for additional structures to increase the pressure of the mopping parts on the ground; the existing structure of the cleaning device itself enhances the pressure of the floor brush assembly 100 on the ground. This results in stronger cleaning capabilities when facing stubborn or deep-seated stains, significantly improving the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, since the water tank 30 and battery 40 are located on the floor brush assembly 100, they do not need to be mounted on the main body. This reduces the weight of the main body and frame, lowers the center of gravity, effectively reduces the force required for operation, improves the operability of the cleaning device, reduces user fatigue during use, and makes cleaning more convenient.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 and further refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, in a first plane S1 perpendicular to the height direction of the floor brush assembly 100, the projection of the water tank 30 in the first plane S1 does not overlap with the projection of the battery 40 in the first plane S1.

[0073] In other words, the projection of the water tank 30 onto the horizontal plane does not overlap with the projection of the battery 40 onto the horizontal plane. For example, the projections of the water tank 30 and the battery 40 onto the horizontal plane can be located to the left and right of the projection of the brush housing 10 onto the horizontal plane, respectively. For example, the projections of the water tank 30 and the battery 40 onto the horizontal plane can be located to the front and right of the projection of the brush housing 10 onto the horizontal plane, respectively. For example, the projections of the water tank 30 and the battery 40 onto the horizontal plane can be located in the middle and near-edge areas of the projection of the brush housing 10 onto the horizontal plane, respectively. Of course, the arrangement of the water tank 30 and the battery 40 can also be other, which will not be listed here.

[0074] In the above technical solution, the water tank 30 and the battery 40 are positioned so that their projections on the first plane do not overlap. That is, the positions of the water tank 30 and the battery 40 on the first plane are staggered. This minimizes the overlap between the water tank 30 and the battery 40, reducing the impact of heat generated by the hot water in the water tank 30 on the battery 40. If the battery 40 and the water tank 30 overlap excessively, the hot water inside the water tank 30 will cause the battery 40 to be in an overheated environment, gradually reducing its cycle life and capacity. This can affect the performance of the battery 40 or damage its internal components, and the increased temperature may even lead to further reactions in the battery 40, generating more heat and causing a fire or explosion. The staggered arrangement also prevents water from easily affecting or seeping into the battery 40 in the event of a potential leak.

[0075] Secondly, by staggering the water tank 30 and battery 40 on the brush housing 10, the pressure of the brush assembly 100 on the ground can be evenly distributed. This avoids excessive pressure on the ground on the brush assembly 100 where the water tank 30 and battery 40 overlap, while the pressure on the side of the brush assembly 100 without overlap is low. This would result in uneven pressure on the ground of the brush assembly 100 as a whole, preventing the mopping parts 20 from adhering evenly to the surface to be cleaned. Consequently, the side with high pressure on the ground would be over-cleaned, while the side with low pressure on the ground would not be thoroughly cleaned.

[0076] The above technical solution can improve the water and heat insulation effect of the battery 40 when the floor brush housing 10 is equipped with both the water tank 30 and the battery 40, further improving the safety of the battery 40 and thus extending the service life of the cleaning equipment.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 and further refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the projection of the water tank 30 in the second plane S2, which is parallel to the upper surface of the floor brush assembly 100, does not overlap with the projection of the battery 40 in the second plane.

[0078] This setup, similar to setting the water tank 30 and battery 40 so that their projections in the first plane do not overlap (and will not be elaborated further here), also improves the water and heat insulation effect of battery 40 when water tank 30 and battery 40 are simultaneously installed on the brush housing 10, further enhancing the safety of battery 40 and thus extending the service life of the cleaning equipment.

[0079] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some specific embodiments, the floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment also includes a suction port 50, a pipe connector 60, and a suction pipe 70. The suction port 50 is located on the side of the floor brush assembly 100 closer to the cleaning surface, and the pipe connector 60 is located on the side of the floor brush assembly 100 away from the cleaning surface. The suction port 50, the suction pipe 70, and the pipe connector 60 are connected in sequence.

[0080] When the cleaning equipment performs a cleaning task, the mopping component 20 rotates, which can remove dirt from the cleaning surface and carry the dirt to the suction port 50. Under the action of suction, the dirt enters the suction pipe 70 through the suction port 50, and then moves from the suction pipe 70 to the pipe connector 60, and finally leaves the floor brush assembly 100.

[0081] In some examples, the water tank 30 is located in the first mounting cavity 11, that is, the water tank 30 is located on the side of the brush housing 10 away from the cleaning surface, while the battery 40 is located in the second mounting cavity 12, that is, the battery 40 is located on the side of the brush housing 10 closer to the cleaning surface. The water tank 30 extends circumferentially along the pipe joint 60, for example, the water tank can be formed into an open-ring or closed-ring structure extending circumferentially along the pipe joint 60.

[0082] In other examples, the clean water tank 30 is located in the second mounting cavity 12, that is, the clean water tank 30 is located on the side of the brush housing 10 closer to the cleaning surface, while the battery 40 is located in the first mounting cavity 11, that is, the battery 40 is located on the side of the brush housing 10 away from the cleaning surface. The clean water tank 30 extends circumferentially along the suction port 50, for example, the clean water tank 30 can be formed into an open ring or closed ring structure extending circumferentially along the suction port 50.

[0083] In other words, regardless of whether the clean water tank 30 is located in the first mounting cavity 11 or the second mounting cavity 12, the clean water tank 30 can be formed into an irregularly shaped structure extending circumferentially along the pipe joint 60. This not only increases the volume of the clean water tank 30, allowing it to store more water and thus reducing the frequency of water refills, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment, but also makes full use of the space of the floor brush assembly 100, making its structure more compact and facilitating miniaturization. On the other hand, the irregularly shaped structure, while increasing and ensuring the volume of the clean water tank 30, also reduces its vertical height. Because the clean water tank 30 is located on the floor brush housing 10, the height of the floor brush assembly 100 is affected by the clean water tank 30; a lower height of the clean water tank 30 allows the overall height of the floor brush assembly 100 to also be reduced. This allows the floor brush assembly 100 to reach more low-lying areas when cleaning low-lying areas, resulting in better cleaning performance.

[0084] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some examples, the clean water tank 30 is located in the first mounting cavity 11 and extends circumferentially along the pipe joint 60.

[0085] The floor brush assembly 100 also includes a light-emitting element 80, which extends circumferentially along the pipe joint 60 and is located between the pipe joint 60 and the clean water tank 30.

[0086] In the above technical solution, by setting up a light-emitting element 80, the light-emitting element 80 can provide illumination in a dimly lit environment, which is beneficial for the cleaning equipment to perform cleaning tasks and provides greater convenience for users.

[0087] Furthermore, by placing the light-emitting element 80 between the pipe connector 60 and the clean water tank 30, and by setting the light-emitting element 80 to extend circumferentially along the pipe connector 60, the remaining space between the pipe connector 60 and the clean water tank 30 can be fully utilized, making full use of the space of the floor brush assembly 100, so that the structure of the floor brush assembly 100 is more compact and conducive to miniaturization design. On the other hand, the light-emitting element 80 can have a visually striking lighting effect. Since the pipe connector 60 is one of the areas most easily observed by users, the visually striking ring lighting effect of the light-emitting element 80 can not only enhance the aesthetics of the cleaning equipment, but also provide a certain usage indication function, thereby improving the user experience and, to a certain extent, enhancing the competitiveness of the product.

[0088] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the brush housing 10 has a centerline L extending in the forward direction of the brush assembly 100.

[0089] It should be noted that the forward direction of the floor brush assembly 100 is determined by the design logic of the cleaning equipment and user operating habits. For example, when a user pushes the cleaning equipment forward, the direction of travel of the floor brush assembly 100 is its forward direction. In this embodiment, the forward direction of the floor brush assembly 100 is... Figure 2 The direction facing forward.

[0090] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 The water tank 30 includes a first water storage section 31 and a second water storage section 32. The first water storage section 31 and the second water storage section 32 are located on the left and right sides of the center line L and are connected to each other. The capacity of the first water storage section 31 is smaller than the capacity of the second water storage section 32. In the left and right direction, the battery 40 and the first water storage section 31 are located on the same side of the center line L.

[0091] Taking the example of a water tank 30 located in the first mounting cavity 11 and a battery 40 located in the second mounting cavity 12, the following explanation is provided. If the first water storage unit 31 is located in the area to the right of the center line L within the first mounting cavity 11, and the second water storage unit 32 is located in the area to the left of the center line L within the first mounting cavity 11, then the battery 40 is located in the area to the right of the center line L within the first mounting cavity 11. Conversely, if the first water storage unit 31 is located in the area to the left of the center line L within the first mounting cavity 11, and the second water storage unit 32 is located in the area to the right of the center line L within the first mounting cavity 11, then the battery 40 is located in the area to the left of the center line L within the first mounting cavity 11.

[0092] Because the middle space of the floor brush assembly 100 needs to be reserved for at least one of the following structures: suction port 50, suction pipe 70, or drive wheel 92. Since the battery 40 requires a certain amount of structural space, it cannot be installed near the center line L of the floor brush assembly 100. The weight of the battery 40 will inevitably cause the floor brush assembly 100 to become unbalanced, resulting in uneven pressure on the ground on both sides. Consequently, the mopping parts 20 on the floor brush assembly 100 cannot adhere evenly to the surface to be cleaned, leading to over-cleaning on the side with higher pressure and incomplete cleaning on the side with lower pressure. Furthermore, the floor brush assembly 100 is prone to tipping over due to the center of gravity deviating from the center line L.

[0093] In this state, the center of gravity of the floor brush assembly 100 will deviate from the centerline L to one side. The water tank 30 is configured as a first water storage section 31 and a second water storage section 32, connected to each other. The capacity of the first water storage section 31 is smaller than that of the second water storage section 32. Therefore, when there is water in the water tank 30, there will also be a significant difference in weight between the left and right sides of the floor brush assembly 100. The weight on the side containing the first water storage section 31 will be less than the weight on the side containing the second water storage section 32.

[0094] In the left and right direction, since the first water storage part 31 is located on the side where the battery 40 is located, the weight difference between the left and right sides of the floor brush assembly 100 can be balanced when there is water in the clean water tank 30, so that the pressure of the left and right sides of the floor brush assembly 100 on the cleaning surface is nearly uniform, thereby improving the cleaning effect and user experience of the cleaning equipment.

[0095] For example, the case where the water tank 30 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 12 and the battery 40 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 11 is similar to the above embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0096] In the above technical solution, by configuring the clean water tank 30 to include a first water storage section 31 and a second water storage section 32 located on the left and right sides of the center line L, and placing the smaller first water storage section 31 and the battery 40 on the same side of the center line L, when there is water in the clean water tank 30, the weight of the battery 40 can be used to balance the weight difference between the left and right sides of the floor brush assembly 100, making the weight of the left and right sides of the floor brush assembly 100 equal, so that the center of the floor brush assembly 100 is as close as possible to the center line L, and the floor brush assembly 100 can apply pressure evenly to the cleaning surface. When the clean water tank 30 is empty, due to the weight of the clean water tank 30 itself, the center of the floor brush assembly 100 will not deviate too much from the center line L, and will still be within the range that meets the cleaning pressure. At this time, the clean water tank 30 is short of water and needs to be replenished. Therefore, this structural design can not only improve the cleaning ability and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment, but also improve the stability of the cleaning equipment.

[0097] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 and further refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, a water level detection element 33 is provided inside the clean water tank 30 to detect the water level inside the clean water tank 30.

[0098] The water level detection component 33 includes a guide post 331, a floating plate 332, and a sensing element 333. The guide post 331 is located inside the clean water tank 30 and has a first end 3311 and a second end 3312 in the axial direction. The first end 3311 is located at the lowest point of the water level in the clean water tank 30, and the second end 3312 is located at the highest point of the water level in the clean water tank 30. The floating plate 332 is sleeved on the guide post 331 and moves along the axial direction of the guide post 331 according to the water level change in the clean water tank 30. The sensing element 333 is used to sense the position of the floating plate 332 to obtain the water level in the clean water tank 30.

[0099] Specifically, the floating plate 332 is sleeved on the guide post 331 and can float on the water surface in the clean water tank 30. When the water level in the clean water tank 30 changes, the floating plate 332 moves along the axial direction of the guide post 331 according to the water level change. If the water level in the clean water tank 30 rises, the floating plate 332 moves towards the second end 3312 along the axial direction of the guide post 331. If the water level in the clean water tank 30 drops, the floating plate 332 moves towards the first end 3311 along the axial direction of the guide post 331. Finally, the position of the floating plate 332 is sensed by the sensor 333, and the water level in the clean water tank 30 can be obtained.

[0100] In the above technical solution, by setting the water level detection component 33 to include a guide post 331, a floating plate 332, and a sensing element 333, the guide post 331 can provide a mounting carrier for the floating plate 332 and provide guidance, so that the floating plate 332 can move along the axial direction of the guide post 331 according to the water level change. This ensures that the floating plate 332 and the sensing element 333 are always on the same straight line in the height direction, which is beneficial for the sensing element 333 to sense the position of the floating plate 332, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the water level detection component 33.

[0101] In addition, the floating plate 332 has a simple structure and a thin thickness. On the one hand, it can simplify the overall structure of the water level detection component 33, which is conducive to reducing production costs. On the other hand, it can detect the specific water level of the clear water tank 30, as well as the empty and full water conditions in the clear water tank 30, thereby maximizing the detection range.

[0102] For example, the guide post 331 and the floating plate 332 can be made of high-performance plastics such as polyoxymethylene, so that the water level detection element 33 can have good corrosion resistance while ensuring rigidity and heat resistance, thereby improving the durability of the water level detection element 33.

[0103] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some examples, the battery 40 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 11, and a waterproof component 41 is provided between the battery 40 and the cavity wall of the first mounting cavity 11; or, the battery 40 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 12, and a waterproof component 41 is provided between the battery 40 and the cavity wall of the second mounting cavity 12.

[0104] In the above technical solution, the waterproof component 41 can at least partially enclose the battery 40, that is, a protective layer is provided on at least part of the surface of the battery 40, which can not only play a water-proof role to prevent the battery 40 from being damaged by water immersion, but also play a heat insulation role.

[0105] In addition, when the floor brush assembly 100 is subjected to impact or bumps, the waterproof component 41 can absorb some of the energy, reduce the external impact on the battery 40, reduce the chance of damage to the battery 40, thereby extending the service life of the battery 40 and improving the safety of the cleaning equipment.

[0106] For example, waterproof component 41 can be made of waterproof foam, rubber, or other materials.

[0107] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning device also includes a circuit board 90, which is electrically connected to a battery 40 that supplies power to the circuit board 90.

[0108] The floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment also includes a water pump 91, which is used to transport water outside the clean water tank 30 to the clean water tank 30 through the water system inside the floor brush assembly 100, and / or transport water inside the clean water tank 30 to the outside of the clean water tank 30.

[0109] For example, when the cleaning equipment works in conjunction with the cleaning base station, the water pump 91 can deliver water from the water source to the clean water tank 30 for storage; while the cleaning equipment is performing a cleaning task, the water pump 91 can deliver the water inside the clean water tank 30 back to the water system within the floor brush assembly 100. This completes the water supply and drainage of the clean water tank 30, eliminating the need for manual water supply and drainage for the user, thus providing convenience.

[0110] The circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 are all located in the mounting cavity without a clean water tank 30. The floor brush housing 10 places the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 in different mounting cavities than the clean water tank 30.

[0111] Specifically, if the clean water tank 30 is located in the first mounting cavity 11, then the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 are located in the second mounting cavity 12; if the clean water tank 30 is located in the second mounting cavity 12, then the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 are located in the first mounting cavity 11. In this way, the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 can be separated from the clean water tank 30 by the brush housing 10, achieving water and electricity separation. This not only prevents the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 from being damaged by water immersion when water leaks from the clean water tank 30, but also minimizes the impact of hot water on the lifespan of the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 when the clean water tank 30 contains hot water.

[0112] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by placing the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 together in an installation cavity without a clean water tank 30, water and electricity can be separated. This not only reduces the impact of excessively high water temperature in the clean water tank 30 on the lifespan of the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40, but also prevents damage to the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 due to malfunctions of the clean water tank 30 (such as leakage). Furthermore, this arrangement allows the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 to be centrally located within the same cavity of the floor brush housing 10. When maintenance or replacement of the cleaning equipment is required, only the protective structure of this cavity needs to be removed to maintain or replace the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40, facilitating future maintenance and replacement work.

[0113] It should also be noted that, in addition to water supply and drainage operations, when the cleaning equipment is used in conjunction with the cleaning base station, the water pump 91 can transport the water inside the clean water tank 30 to the base station; the water pump 91 can also transport the water inside the clean water tank 30 to the sewer to empty the clean water tank 30.

[0114] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 and further refer to Figure 7 In some specific embodiments, the brush housing 10 has a centerline L extending along the forward direction of the brush assembly 100.

[0115] The clean water tank 30 includes a first water storage section 31 and a second water storage section 32. The first water storage section 31 and the second water storage section 32 are located on the left and right sides of the center line L and are interconnected. The capacity of the first water storage section 31 is smaller than the capacity of the second water storage section 32. In the left and right direction, the circuit board 90, the water pump 91 and the battery 40 are located on the same side of the center line L as the first water storage section 31.

[0116] Because the middle space of the floor brush assembly 100 needs to be reserved for at least one of the following structures: suction port 50, suction pipe 70, or drive wheel 92. The circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 require a certain amount of structural space, therefore, the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 cannot be installed near the center line L of the floor brush assembly 100. The weight of the circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 will inevitably cause the floor brush assembly 100 to become unbalanced, resulting in uneven pressure on the ground on both sides. The mopping parts 20 on the floor brush assembly 100 cannot adhere evenly to the surface to be cleaned, leading to over-cleaning on the side with higher pressure and incomplete cleaning on the side with lower pressure. Furthermore, the floor brush assembly 100 is prone to tipping over due to the center of gravity deviating from the center line L.

[0117] In this state, the center of gravity of the floor brush assembly 100 will deviate from the centerline L to one side. The water tank 30 is configured as a first water storage section 31 and a second water storage section 32, connected to each other. The capacity of the first water storage section 31 is smaller than that of the second water storage section 32. Therefore, when there is water in the water tank 30, the weight of the left and right sides of the floor brush assembly 100 will also have a significant difference, with the side containing the first water storage section 31 weighing less than the side containing the second water storage section 32. In the left-right direction, by placing the first water storage unit 31, circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 on the same side of the center line L, the weight difference between the left and right sides can be balanced. On the one hand, when there is water in the clean water tank 10, the center of gravity of the floor brush assembly 100 is located within a certain range to the left and right of the center line L, making the cleaning equipment less prone to tipping over and enhancing the stability of the cleaning equipment, so that the floor brush assembly 100 can apply pressure to the ground evenly. On the other hand, when the clean water tank 30 is empty, due to the weight of the clean water tank 30 itself, the center of the floor brush assembly 100 will not deviate too much from the center line L, and will still be within the range that meets the cleaning pressure. At this time, the clean water tank 30 is short of water and needs to be replenished. Therefore, this structural design can help improve the cleaning ability and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0118] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning device further includes a drive wheel 92 and a drive motor 93. The drive wheel 92 is rotatably disposed in the second mounting cavity 12, and the drive motor 93 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 12 and connected to the drive wheel 92. The drive motor 93 is used to drive the drive wheel 92 to rotate.

[0119] When the cleaning equipment is performing a cleaning task, the drive motor 93 can drive the drive wheel 92 to rotate, thereby providing power so that the cleaning equipment can be moved to the area to be cleaned; of course, the user can also manually drive the cleaning equipment to the area that needs to be cleaned, at which time the drive motor 93 can drive the drive wheel 92 to rotate, providing assistance to the user.

[0120] In the left-right direction, the drive wheel 92 is located in the middle, and the drive motor 93 and the second water storage part 32 are located on the same side of the center line L.

[0121] Specifically, in the left-right direction, the drive wheel 92 is located in the middle. In order to facilitate the connection between the drive motor 93 and the drive wheel 92, the drive motor 93 can be located on the left or right side of the drive wheel 92. However, the drive motor 93 is located on the same side of the center line L as the first water storage part 31 and the second water storage part 32 of the clean water tank 30. That is to say, the drive motor 93, the circuit board 90, the water pump 91 and the battery 40 are respectively located on different sides of the center line L.

[0122] In the above technical solution, the middle space of the floor brush assembly 100 needs to be reserved for at least one of the following structures: suction port 50, suction pipe 70, or drive wheel 92. The drive motor 93, circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 require a certain amount of structural space. Therefore, the drive motor 93, circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 cannot be installed near the center line L of the floor brush assembly 100. The weight of the drive motor 93, circuit board 90, water pump 91, and battery 40 will inevitably cause the floor brush assembly 100 to become unbalanced, resulting in uneven pressure on the ground on both sides. The mopping parts 20 on the floor brush assembly 100 cannot be evenly and tightly attached to the surface to be cleaned, leading to over-cleaning on the side with higher pressure and incomplete cleaning on the side with lower pressure. Furthermore, the floor brush assembly 100 is prone to tipping over due to the center of gravity deviating from the center line L.

[0123] In this state, the center of gravity of the floor brush assembly 100 will deviate from one side of the centerline L. By configuring the water tank 30 as a first water storage section 31 and a second water storage section 32, and connecting the first water storage section 31 to the second water storage section 32, and since the capacity of the first water storage section 31 is smaller than that of the second water storage section 32, when there is water in the water tank 30, the weight of the left and right sides of the floor brush assembly 100 will also have a significant difference, with the weight on the side containing the first water storage section 31 being less than the weight on the side containing the second water storage section 32. In the left-right direction, by placing the first water storage section 31, the circuit board 90, the water pump 91, and the battery 40 on the same side of the centerline L, the weight difference between the left and right sides can be balanced. However, if a more complex circuit board 90 and a more powerful water pump 91 are used, the center of gravity of the floor brush assembly 100 will still be biased towards the first water storage section 31. In this case, the center of gravity and the pressure on the ground of the entire floor brush assembly 100 can be balanced by placing the drive motor 93 on the same side as the second water storage section 32 along the centerline L. Furthermore, because the drive motor 93 needs to be placed on the same side as the second water storage section 32 along the centerline L, the second water storage section 32 needs to make way for the drive motor 93, sacrificing some of the clean water 30 capacity to provide installation space for the drive motor 93. In this case, the weight of the drive motor 93 actually replaces the weight of the water contained in the sacrificed clean water tank 30, rather than simply increasing the weight of the drive motor 93.

[0124] In other words, even if the circuit board 90 and the water pump 91 are not installed on the same side of the second water storage section 32 located on the center line L, and the drive motor 93 is installed on the same side of the first water storage section 32 located on the center line L; or, if the circuit board 90 and the water pump 91 are installed on the same side of the second water storage section 32 located on the center line L, and the drive motor 93 is not installed on the same side of the first water storage section 32 located on the center line L, the center of gravity of the entire floor brush assembly 100 is still near the center line L, and is still within the range allowed by the cleaning pressure.

[0125] In the above technical solution, by setting the clean water tank 30 as a first water storage section 31 and a second water storage section 32, connecting the first water storage section 31 and the second water storage section 32 to each other, and setting the capacity of the first water storage section 31 to be smaller than the capacity of the second water storage section 32, and setting the circuit board 90, water pump 91 and battery 40 on the same side of the center line L as the first water storage section 31, and setting the drive motor 93 on the same side of the center line L as the second water storage section 32, the center of gravity of the entire floor brush assembly 100 can be made closer to the center line L, so that the pressure of the entire floor brush assembly 100 on the ground is more even, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning ability and cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0126] In the above technical solution, by setting the drive motor 93 and the drive wheel 92 in the second mounting cavity 12, and setting the drive wheel 92 in the middle in the left-right direction, and setting the drive motor 93 on one side of the second water storage part 32, the connection distance between the drive motor 93 and the drive wheel 92 can be shortened, thereby improving the power transmission efficiency and enhancing the movement stability of the drive wheel 92. On the other hand, the space in the second mounting cavity 12 can be fully utilized, making the structure of the floor brush assembly 100 more compact and facilitating miniaturization design.

[0127] Refer again Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the clean water tank 30 is located on the side of the floor brush housing 10 near the cleaning surface and has an inlet 30a and an outlet 30b. The inlet 30a can be filled with hot water, and the inlet 30a is located further away from the battery 40 than the outlet 30b.

[0128] When water needs to be added to the clean water tank 30, the water pump 91 can deliver water from outside the clean water tank 30 into the clean water tank 30 through the water inlet 30a. When water needs to be discharged, the water pump 91 can deliver water from inside the clean water tank 30 to outside the clean water tank 30 through the water outlet 30b. Thus, automatic water filling and emptying operations can be achieved using the water inlet 30a and the water outlet 30b, providing convenience for users.

[0129] By positioning the water inlet 30a further away from the battery 40 than the water outlet 30b, the impact of hot water on the battery 40 can be reduced when heating water into the clean water tank 30. This prevents the water inlet 30a from being too close to the battery 40, which could cause the battery 40 to overheat, thereby damaging the battery 40 or shortening its lifespan.

[0130] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning device further includes a charging unit 94 adapted to charge the battery 40. The charging unit 94 is located on the side of the floor brush housing 10 near the cleaning surface and is positioned in the middle in the left-right direction.

[0131] By placing the charging unit 94 on the side of the floor brush housing 10 close to the cleaning surface and positioning it in the middle in the left-right direction, the charging unit 94 can be separated from the clean water tank 30 to the greatest extent, avoiding water leakage from the clean water tank 30 and preventing safety hazards during the charging process. It can also reduce the impact of hot water in the clean water tank 30 on the charging process, preventing the heat of the hot water from being transferred to the charging unit 94, which would cause the charging unit 94 to overheat and thus reduce the charging rate.

[0132] Reference Figures 1-2 and Figure 5In some specific embodiments, the floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment further includes a first cover 95, which is detachably disposed on the floor brush housing 10 and covers the first mounting cavity 11.

[0133] Reference Figure 3 , Figures 7-8 The floor brush assembly 100 of the cleaning equipment also includes a second cover 96, which is detachably disposed on the floor brush housing 10 and covers the second mounting cavity 12. The second cover 96 is provided with a charging part 94 and a clearance opening 96a for the drive wheel 92.

[0134] For example, the water tank 30 is located in the first mounting cavity 11, and the battery 40 is located in the second mounting cavity 12. The first cover 95 is installed on the brush housing 10, which covers and protects the water tank 30. The second cover 96 is installed on the brush housing 10, which covers and protects the components inside the second mounting cavity 12. Removing the second cover 96 from the brush housing 10 allows for the repair and replacement of all electrical components of the brush assembly 100, facilitating future maintenance.

[0135] For example, the clean water tank 30 is located in the second mounting cavity 12, the battery 40 is located in the first mounting cavity 11, and the circuit board 90 and water pump 91 are also located in the first mounting cavity 11. The first cover 95 is installed on the brush housing 10, which can shield the battery 40, circuit board 90, and water pump 91, protecting them. Removing the first cover 95 from the brush housing 10 allows for maintenance and replacement of the battery 40, circuit board 90, and water pump 91. The second cover 96 is installed on the brush housing 10, which can shield the clean water tank 30 and other components within the second mounting cavity 12, protecting them as well. Removing the second cover 96 from the brush housing 10 allows for maintenance and replacement of the drive motor 93, drive wheel 92, and charging unit 94.

[0136] In the above technical solution, by detachably installing the first cover 95 and the second cover 96 on the floor brush housing 10, and having the first cover 95 cover the first mounting cavity 11 and the second cover 96 cover the second mounting cavity 12, on the one hand, the components in the first mounting cavity 11 and the second mounting cavity 12 can be protected to avoid damage to the components due to other external factors (such as impact), and on the other hand, the overall integrity of the floor brush assembly 100 can be improved, enhancing the aesthetics of the cleaning equipment.

[0137] In addition, the detachable first cover 95 and second cover 96 can also facilitate later maintenance. When it is necessary to repair the components in the first mounting cavity 11, only the first cover 95 needs to be opened; when it is necessary to repair the components in the second mounting cavity 12, only the second cover 96 needs to be opened.

[0138] The second cover 96 is provided with a charging unit 94 and a clearance opening 96a for the drive wheel 92. When the second cover 96 covers the second mounting cavity 12, the drive wheel 92 can extend out of the second cover 96 through the clearance opening 96a, so that it can rotate freely when the cleaning device performs cleaning tasks. When the cleaning device needs to be charged, it can be charged through the clearance opening 96a without opening the second cover 96, which simplifies the charging operation and improves the user experience.

[0139] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some examples, the floor brush housing 10 has a centerline L extending along the forward direction of the floor brush assembly 100. The floor brush assembly 100 also includes a suction port 50, a pipe connector 60, and a suction pipe 70. The suction port 50 is located on the side of the floor brush assembly 100 closer to the cleaning surface, and the pipe connector 60 is located on the side of the floor brush assembly 100 away from the cleaning surface. The suction port 50, the suction pipe 70, and the pipe connector 60 are connected in sequence.

[0140] When the cleaning equipment performs a cleaning task, the mopping component 20 rotates, which can remove dirt from the cleaning surface and carry the dirt to the suction port 50. Under the action of suction, the dirt can enter the suction pipe 70 through the suction port 50, and then move to the pipe joint 60 through the suction pipe 70, and finally leave the floor brush assembly 100.

[0141] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The pipe joint 60 is provided with a threading structure 61, at least one threading structure 61 is provided on the side of the pipe joint 60 away from the dragging member 20 in the extension direction of the center line L; and / or, at least one threading structure 61 is provided on the left or right side of the pipe joint 60.

[0142] The following description will be based on an example where at least one threading structure 61 is located on the side of the pipe connector 60 facing away from the mopping member 20 in the extension direction of the center line L. By placing the threading structure 61 here, i.e., threading the wire behind the floor brush assembly 100, the space behind the pipe connector 60 can be fully utilized. When the cleaning equipment body is tilted to its lowest position (lying down), the threading structure 61 will not increase the height of the floor brush assembly 100, which facilitates the floor brush assembly 100 extending into low-ceilinged spaces for cleaning, thus improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0143] For example, at least one threading structure 61 may also be provided on the left and right sides of the pipe joint 60. Of course, at least one threading structure 61 may also be provided on the side away from the dragging member 20 in the extension direction of the center line L of the pipe joint 60, as well as on the left and right sides of the pipe joint 60.
