Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, while pursuing portability and ease of operation, cleaning machine products have continuously explored designs incorporating handles to meet the diverse needs of users in actual use. In related technologies, one end of the handle is typically fixed to the device housing, while the other end uses a sliding structure arranged along the housing. The initial design intention is to maintain the overall aesthetic harmony of the device when the handle is not in use by adjusting its position on the housing; when the user needs to carry or move the device, they simply slide the handle from its fixed position to a suitable position, thus creating a comfortable carrying space between the handle and the housing, providing the user with a stable grip.

[0003] However, in practical applications, when the user slides the movable end of the handle along the housing towards the fixed end, a sense of resistance is generated, affecting the feel and smoothness of operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a cleaning machine to solve the problem that when the movable end of the cleaning machine's handle slides along the housing towards the fixed end, a sense of resistance is generated, affecting the feel and smoothness of operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application disclose the following technical solutions: This application provides a cleaning machine, including a housing and a handle. The housing has a sliding space and a limiting space. The sliding space has an opening on the outer surface of the housing. The limiting space is located on the side of the sliding space closer to the inside of the housing and communicates with the sliding space. The limiting space has a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface facing the inside of the housing. The first limiting surface and the second limiting surface are located on both sides of the sliding space along a first direction. A first rib is provided on the first limiting surface, and a second rib is provided on the second limiting surface. The handle is located on the outside of the housing and includes a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other in a second direction. The first end is disposed on the housing, and the second end is provided with a sliding member. The sliding member includes a first part and a second part. The first part is located in the sliding space and is slidably disposed in the sliding space in the second direction. The second part is disposed at the end of the first part away from the opening and is located in the limiting space. The two ends of the second part protrude from the first part along the first direction to form a first limiting part and a second limiting part, respectively. When the sliding member slides along the second direction, the first limiting part abuts against the first protruding rib, and the second limiting part abuts against the second protruding rib.

[0006] In some possible implementations, the housing has a first wall panel; wherein the sliding space is a through hole penetrating the first wall panel, the limiting space is at least a portion of the internal space of the housing, and the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface are portions of the inner surface of the first wall panel; or, The outer surface of the first wall panel is recessed into the inner surface of the first wall panel to define a groove, which serves as a sliding space; the two side walls of the groove along the first direction are recessed in a direction away from each other to define a limiting space.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the slider is detachably connected to the handle, and the slider is detachably connected to the housing.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the slider includes a decorative cover that covers at least a portion of the opening, with a second end located on the side of the decorative cover facing the housing.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the surface of the decorative cover facing the housing has a mounting groove that extends through the surface of the decorative cover facing the first end, and the second end is located within the mounting groove.

[0010] In some possible implementations, the decorative cover has a first connecting post integrally protruding from the surface facing the housing; The second part has a second connecting post integrally protruding from the surface of the decorative cover. The first connecting post and the second connecting post are inserted into each other. The first connecting post and the second connecting post define the first part. The second end has a through hole and is sleeved on the first part through the through hole.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the decorative cover has a plurality of protruding parts on the surface facing the housing, and a plurality of protruding holes on the second end, with the plurality of protruding holes corresponding to the plurality of protruding parts for insertion.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the housing has a first wall panel; The sliding space is a through hole penetrating the first wall panel, the limiting space is at least a part of the internal space of the shell, and the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface are part of the inner surface of the first wall panel; A shielding frame is provided on the inner surface of the first wall panel, and the sliding space, the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface are all located within the shielding frame. The cleaning machine also includes a cover that is detachably attached to the cover frame to cover the opening of the cover frame.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the inner surface of the first wall panel is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the shielding frame, and one end of each reinforcing rib is connected to the shielding frame.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the cleaning machine also includes a fixing component, which includes a decorative panel with a mating groove on the surface of the decorative panel facing the housing. The mating groove extends through the surface of the decorative panel facing the second end, and the first end is located within the mating groove. The decorative panel is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0015] In some possible implementations, a fixing protrusion is provided on the bottom wall of the mating groove, a first fixing hole is provided on the first end, and a second fixing hole is provided on the housing, and the fixing protrusion is inserted into the first fixing hole and the second fixing hole; The fixing component also includes a locking member, which is confined within the housing and connected to a fixing protrusion.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the first end has a clearance hole, and the cleaning machine includes a power button located within the clearance hole; and / or, The outer surface of the casing and the area directly opposite the handle are textured.

[0017] The technical solutions provided in this application have at least the following advantages compared with the prior art: By using a first rib on the first limiting surface and a second rib on the second limiting surface, the first and second limiting portions of the slider can be made to abut against the first and second ribs only during sliding, rather than contacting the first and second limiting surfaces. This effectively reduces the contact area between the limiting portion and the limiting space, thereby reducing the frictional resistance when the slider moves within the limiting space. This, in turn, reduces the feeling of resistance when the user operates the handle, improving the smoothness of the sliding process and the comfort of the grip. Attached Figure Description

[0035] This application provides a cleaning machine, which is a type of cleaning machine with a handle. For example, the cleaning machine can be, but is not limited to, a window cleaning robot or a floor sweeping robot.

[0036] For ease of description, the following explanation uses a window cleaning robot as an example. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 .in, Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning machine 100 provided for some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the structure of part of the cleaning machine 100 shown. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure from another perspective.

[0037] The cleaning machine 100 includes a housing 1 and a handle 2. The housing 1 has a sliding space 11 and a limiting space 12. The sliding space 11 has an opening 111 located on the outer surface of the housing 1. The limiting space 12 is located on the side of the sliding space 11 closer to the interior of the housing 1 and communicates with the sliding space 11. The limiting space 12 has a first limiting surface 121 and a second limiting surface 122 facing the interior of the housing 1, and the first limiting surface 121 and the second limiting surface 122 are located on both sides of the sliding space 11 along a first direction A1.

[0038] The handle 2 is located on the outside of the housing 1. The handle 2 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22 disposed opposite to each other in the second direction A2. The first end 21 is disposed on the housing 1, and the second end 22 is provided with a sliding member 3.

[0039] The slider 3 includes a first part 31 and a second part 32. The first part 31 is located within the sliding space 11 and is slidably disposed within the sliding space 11 in the second direction A2. The second part 32 is disposed at the end of the first part 31 away from the opening 111 and located within the limiting space 12. The two ends of the second part 32 protrude from the first part 31 along the first direction A1 to form a first limiting portion 321 and a second limiting portion 322, respectively. When the slider 3 slides along the second direction A2, the first limiting portion 321 abuts against the first limiting surface 121, and the second limiting portion 322 abuts against the second limiting surface 122.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the slider 3 contacts and slides with the first limiting surface 121 and the second limiting surface 122 in the housing 1 respectively by means of its first limiting part 321 and the second limiting part 322. Although the handle 2 can be stably constrained in the limiting space 12 and the sliding space 11, it will also increase the contact area between the slider 3 and the limiting space 12, resulting in excessive friction between the two. This will cause a sense of resistance when the second end 22 of the handle 2 (that is, the movable end mentioned in the background section above) moves in actual operation, affecting the feel and smoothness of operation.

[0041] For the above technical issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a cleaning machine 100 provided for other embodiments of this application. In some embodiments, a first protruding rib 1211 is provided on the first limiting surface 121, and a second protruding rib 1221 is provided on the second limiting surface 122. Exemplarily, the first protruding rib 1211 and the housing 1 can be fixedly connected by bolts, snap-fit, or other means; or the first protruding rib 1211 and the housing 1 are integrally formed. The connection method between the second protruding rib 1221 and the housing 1 can be designed with reference to the connection method between the first protruding rib 1211 and the housing 1, and will not be described again here.

[0042] When the slider 3 slides along the second direction A2, the first limiting portion 321 abuts against the first protruding rib 1211, and the second limiting portion 322 abuts against the second protruding rib 1221. That is, at least a portion of the first protruding rib 1211 is located between the first limiting surface 121 and the first limiting portion 321, and at least a portion of the second protruding rib 1221 is located between the second limiting surface 122 and the second limiting portion 322. For example, the extending directions of the first protruding rib 1211 and the second protruding rib 1221 may be, but are not limited to, parallel to the second direction A2.

[0043] In this way, the first rib 1211 provided on the first limiting surface 121 and the second rib 1221 provided on the second limiting surface 122 ensure that the first limiting part 321 and the second limiting part 322 of the sliding member 3 only abut against the first rib 1211 and the second rib 1221 during the sliding process, rather than contacting the first limiting surface 121 and the second limiting surface 122. This effectively reduces the contact area between the first limiting part 321 and the second limiting part 322 and the limiting space 12, thereby reducing the frictional resistance of the sliding member 3 when moving within the limiting space 12. This, in turn, reduces the resistance felt by the user when operating the handle 2, improving the smoothness of the sliding process and the comfort of the hand.

[0044] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the housing 1 has a first wall panel 13; wherein the sliding space 11 is a through hole penetrating the first wall panel 13. The limiting space 12 is at least a part of the internal space of the housing 1, and the first limiting surface 121 and the second limiting surface 122 are part of the inner surface of the first wall panel 13.

[0045] In this way, there is no need to construct an additional independent limiting structure inside the housing 1, thereby simplifying the overall configuration of the housing 1 and reducing the complexity of the mold and production costs.

[0046] In addition, by designing the sliding space 11 as a through hole penetrating the first wall panel 13, and setting the limiting space 12 as at least a part of the internal space of the housing 1, while making the first limiting surface 121 and the second limiting surface 122 directly formed by the inner surface of the first wall panel 13, the formation of the sliding space 11 and the limiting space 12 can be achieved without the need to create an additional independent groove structure inside the wall panel of the housing 1. This avoids the removal of wall panel material and local structural weakening caused by groove processing, thus eliminating the need to increase the thickness of the housing 1 wall panel to compensate for structural strength. In this way, it is beneficial to achieve a reduction in the overall thickness of the housing 1, which is conducive to making the product lighter.

[0047] Of course, this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the sliding space 11 and the limiting space 12 may also be formed by the following manner: the outer surface of the first wall plate 13 is recessed towards the inner surface of the first wall plate 13 to define a groove, the groove being the sliding space 11. The two side walls of the groove along the first direction A1 are recessed towards each other to define the limiting space 12.

[0048] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 4The diagram shows a structural schematic from another perspective. In some embodiments, the slider 3 includes a decorative cover 33 that covers at least a portion of the opening 111, with a second end 22 located on the side of the decorative cover 33 facing the housing 1. This allows the covering effect of the decorative cover 33 on the opening 111 to effectively conceal the mechanical structure inside the sliding space 11. This helps maintain the flatness and aesthetics of the outer surface of the housing 1, improving the overall appearance and harmony of the product.

[0049] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 5 An exploded view of the structure is shown. In some embodiments, the decorative cover 33 has a mounting groove 331 on the surface facing the housing 1, the mounting groove 331 extending through the surface of the decorative cover 33 facing the first end 21, and the second end 22 located within the mounting groove 331. Exemplarily, the second end 22 is stacked between itself and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 331.

[0050] In this way, the lateral displacement of the second end 22 relative to the decorative cover 33 can be limited by the groove wall of the mounting groove 331, which helps to reduce the relative wobbling between the decorative cover 33 and the second end 22. As a result, the overall stability of the handle 2 during the sliding process can be improved, avoiding the operational discomfort caused by loose parts, thereby improving the grip when the user carries or moves the cleaning machine 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, the slider 3 is detachably connected to the handle 2, and the slider 3 is detachably connected to the housing 1. This allows the slider 3 to be separated from the handle 2, and the slider 3 to be separated from the housing 1. Consequently, if the slider 3 or the handle 2 becomes worn or damaged, the slider 3 and / or the handle 2 can be replaced independently. This improves the ease of maintenance of the cleaning machine 100.

[0052] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 for Figure 6 The diagram shows the assembly of the slider 3 and the handle 2 in the structure shown. In some embodiments, the decorative cover 33 has a first connecting post 332 integrally protruding from the surface of the housing 1. For example, in... Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the first connecting post 332 protrudes from the bottom wall of the assembly groove 331.

[0053] The second part 32 has a second connecting post 323 integrally protruding from its surface facing the decorative cover 33, and the first connecting post 332 and the second connecting post 323 are inserted into each other. Exemplarily, the first connecting post 332 and the second connecting post 323 can be inserted through a threaded connection. For example, the first connecting post 332 may have a threaded hole, and the outer peripheral surface of the second connecting post 323 may have an external thread; alternatively, the outer peripheral surface of the first connecting post 332 may have an external thread, and the second connecting post 323 may have a threaded hole. Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first connecting post 332 and the second connecting post 323 are inserted through a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0054] The first connecting post 332 and the second connecting post 323 define the first portion 31. The second end 22 has a through hole 222, and the second end 22 is sleeved on the first portion 31 through the through hole 222. Exemplarily, the second end 22 is sleeved on the first connecting post 332 through the through hole 222. However, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the second end 22 may also be sleeved on the second connecting post 323 through the through hole 222.

[0055] This allows the decorative cover 33 to be quickly aligned and secured with the second part 32 during assembly, thereby simplifying the overall installation process of the sliding part 3. This effectively improves the ease of assembly of the cleaning machine 100 and reduces the number of operating steps.

[0056] In addition, by fitting the second end 22 onto the first part 31 through the through hole 222, a stable and aligned mechanical connection can be formed between the handle 2 and the slider 3. This ensures that when the slider 3 slides, the handle 2 and the slider 3 can move synchronously as a whole, avoiding additional friction or interference caused by loose connection or misalignment. In this way, the resistance fluctuation during the sliding process can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the user's operation of the handle 2.

[0057] Please see Figure 7 In some embodiments, the decorative cover 33 has a plurality of insertion portions 333 protruding from the surface of the housing 1. For example, the insertion portions 333 and the decorative cover 33 can be fixedly connected by means of bolts, snap-fit, etc.; or the insertion portions 333 and the decorative cover 33 are integrally formed. The second end 22 has a plurality of insertion holes 221, and the plurality of insertion holes 221 are inserted into the plurality of insertion portions 333 one by one.

[0058] This allows for a secure connection between the decorative cover 33 and the second end 22 of the handle 2 at multiple points, effectively enhancing their resistance to torsion and peeling. Consequently, it prevents loosening or rattling between the second end 22 and the decorative cover 33, thus significantly improving the stability of the connection between them.

[0059] Please see Figure 8 and combined Figure 9 ,in, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a cleaning machine 100 provided for other embodiments of this application. Figure 9 for Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a portion of the structure shown. In some embodiments, a shielding frame 131 is provided on the inner surface of the first wall panel 13, and the sliding space 11, the first limiting surface 121, and the second limiting surface 122 are all located within the shielding frame 131.

[0060] The cleaning machine 100 also includes a cover 4, which is detachably connected to the cover frame 131 to cover the opening of the cover frame 131. There are several ways to achieve the detachable connection between the cover 4 and the cover frame 131. For example, in... Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the shielding cover 4 and the shielding frame 131 are detachably connected via a snap-fit ​​structure. Specifically, multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 1311 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the shielding frame 131, and the multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 1311 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the shielding frame 131. The shielding cover 4 is provided with multiple snap-fit ​​grooves 41, and the multiple snap-fit ​​grooves 41 are snapped into the multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 1311 one by one. In other embodiments, the shielding cover 4 and the shielding frame 131 can also be detachably connected by screws.

[0061] This configuration, by providing a shielding frame 131 on the inner surface of the first wall panel 13 and accommodating the sliding space 11, the first limiting surface 121, and the second limiting surface 122 within the shielding frame 131, and by using a shielding cover 4 detachably connected to the shielding frame 131 to cover the opening of the shielding frame 131, can completely conceal the sliding mechanism and limiting mechanism inside the housing 1 of the cleaning machine 100. This prevents the visual continuity of the housing 1 surface from being disrupted by the external visibility of these internal mechanical structures. In this way, it ensures that the appearance of the housing 1 remains uniform when the handle 2 is lifted, improving the overall appearance coordination of the product.

[0062] Please see Figure 9In some embodiments, the inner surface of the first wall panel 13 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 132. Exemplarily, the reinforcing ribs 132 and the first wall panel 13 can be fixedly connected by bolts, snap-fit ​​connections, or other means; or the reinforcing ribs 132 and the first wall panel 13 are integrally formed. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 132 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the shielding frame 131, and one end of each reinforcing rib 132 is connected to the shielding frame 131. The connection method between the reinforcing ribs 132 and the shielding frame 131 can be designed with reference to the connection method between the reinforcing ribs 132 and the first wall panel 13, and will not be described further here.

[0063] In this way, the rigid support properties of the reinforcing rib 132 can be utilized to effectively transfer and distribute the local load applied to the first wall panel 13 at the corresponding position of the limiting space 12 to a larger area of ​​the first wall panel 13, thereby effectively reinforcing the structural strength at the weak points caused by the opening of the sliding space 11 and the limiting space 12. This effectively enhances the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the shell 1, thus ensuring the stability and durability of the shell 1 structure during the sliding operation of the handle 2 or during carrying of the cleaning machine 100.

[0064] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 for Figure 5 The exploded view of the structure is shown from another perspective. In some embodiments, the cleaning machine 100 further includes a fixing assembly 5 for securing the first end 21 of the handle 2 to the housing 1. The fixing assembly 5 includes a decorative plate 51, on the surface of the decorative plate 51 facing the housing 1, a mating groove 511 is provided. The mating groove 511 extends through the surface of the decorative plate 51 facing the second end 22. The first end 21 is located within the mating groove 511, and the decorative plate 51 is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0065] In this way, the lateral displacement of the first end 21 relative to the decorative panel 51 can be limited by the constraint of the groove wall of the groove 511, which helps to reduce the relative wobbling between the decorative panel 51 and the first end 21. As a result, the overall stability of the handle 2 during the sliding process can be improved, avoiding the operational discomfort caused by loose parts, thereby improving the grip when the user carries or moves the cleaning machine 100.

[0066] In addition, the decorative panel 51 helps to maintain the flatness and aesthetics of the outer surface of the housing 1, and improves the overall appearance coordination of the product.

[0067] Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the cleaning machine 100 may not include the fixing component 5. In this case, the first end 21 is slidably disposed on the housing 1. The sliding connection between the first end 21 and the housing 1 can be designed with reference to the connection between the second end 22 and the housing 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, a fixing protrusion 512 protrudes from the bottom wall of the mating groove 511. A first fixing hole 212 is provided on the first end 21. A second fixing hole 133 is provided on the housing 1. Exemplarily, in... Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the second fixing hole 133 is located on the first wall panel 13. The fixing protrusion 512 is inserted into the first fixing hole 212 and the second fixing hole 133.

[0069] The fixing component 5 also includes a locking member (not shown in the figure), which is positioned within the housing 1 and connected to the fixing protrusion 512. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the fixing protrusion 512 has a threaded hole on its surface facing the interior of the housing 1; in this case, the locking member can be a screw. In other embodiments, the fixing protrusion 512 has external threads on its outer circumferential surface; in this case, the locking member can be a nut. It is understood that the first fixing hole 212 and the second fixing hole 133 described in this embodiment should both be through holes.

[0070] In this way, the connection structure between the first end 21 and the housing 1 can be covered by the decorative panel 51. This helps to maintain the flatness and aesthetics of the outer surface of the housing 1, and improves the overall appearance harmony of the product. Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first end 21 of the handle 2 can also be directly fixed to the housing 1 by screws.

[0071] Please see Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first end 21 has a clearance hole 211, and the cleaning machine 100 includes a power button 6 located within the clearance hole 211. This allows for full utilization of the space occupied by the first end 21 of the handle 2, which is beneficial for optimizing the overall compactness and aesthetic harmony of the cleaning machine 100.

[0072] For example, the power button 6 can be a mechanical switch, a capacitive touch switch, or a membrane switch. As an example, the power button 6 is a mechanical switch with a dome switch. In use, pressing the button of the mechanical switch causes the dome switch mounted on its circuit board to elastically deform, connecting the isolated contacts on the circuit board to conduct the circuit; after releasing, the dome switch elastically resets, and the circuit is broken. It is understood that at this time, the direction of movement of the button of the mechanical switch should be parallel to the central axis of the clearance hole 211. Additionally, it is worth noting that in embodiments with a decorative plate 51, the decorative plate 51 also needs to be provided with a clearance hole 513 to avoid the power button 6.

[0073] Please see Figure 10In some embodiments, the outer surface of the housing 1, in the area directly opposite the handle 2, is textured with a pattern 14. This allows the textured features of the pattern 14 to create a decorative element. Consequently, when the handle 2 is lifted and this area is exposed, the overall harmony and aesthetics of the product's appearance are enhanced.

[0074] For example, the texture 14 may include multiple grooves, which are spaced apart along a first direction A1, and each groove extends along a second direction A2. As an example, the groove width may be, but is not limited to, 0.5 mm. The groove depth may be, but is not limited to, 0.2 mm.

[0075] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
