Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical field of cleaning tools, and particularly to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The icons on the floor scrubber are usually located on the handle, allowing users to determine the machine's operating status by observing these icons.

[0003] However, due to limited space in the handle, a small screen size, and overly compact icons and text, users find it difficult to clearly identify them during operation. Furthermore, when using the floor scrubber in push-pull mode, the user's gaze must frequently shift from the floor cleaning status to the handle screen to view the information displayed. This not only increases the number of steps involved but also easily interrupts the cleaning process, reduces efficiency, and prevents the user from focusing on the floor cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a cleaning device in which status display information is located on the floor brush, making it convenient for users to view operating status information.

[0024] With the continuous development of floor scrubber technology, integrated design has become the mainstream trend in the industry, and the machine body is gradually becoming lighter and thinner. However, in this process, the space for the display screen has been greatly reduced, leading to many challenges in the human-computer interaction experience. Currently, the icon information of floor scrubbers is usually placed on the handle or body, but this design has obvious drawbacks, affecting the user's ease of operation and user experience.

[0025] First, the design of the handle screen has significant limitations. Due to limited space in the handle, the screen size is small, and the icons and text are displayed too crampedly, making them difficult for users to clearly see during operation. Furthermore, when using the floor scrubber by pushing or pulling it, users need to frequently look back at the handle screen, which not only increases the number of steps but also easily interrupts the cleaning process, reducing efficiency.

[0026] Secondly, the design of the machine's screen also faces many challenges. On the one hand, the trend towards miniaturization limits the installation space for the screen, increasing design complexity. On the other hand, when the floor scrubber is lying flat, the user's gaze is primarily focused on the floor being cleaned, i.e., the side of the brush head, making it difficult to simultaneously view the information on the machine's screen. This design prevents users from intuitively obtaining key information during cleaning, affecting the continuity and convenience of operation.

[0027] Furthermore, whether it's the handle screen or the main body screen, the display angle and area often cannot be perfectly balanced depending on the different usage states of the floor scrubber. For example, the effective display angle and area differ between when the machine is lying flat and when it's tilted, making it difficult for users to clearly see icon information in different scenarios. This inconsistency further degrades the user experience.

[0028] To address this, this disclosure mounts the status display component on the floor brush. The large size of the floor brush facilitates installation of the display component and provides a larger display area for status information. This allows users to intuitively obtain the cleaning equipment's status information without needing to turn back, avoiding interruptions to the cleaning process and improving cleaning efficiency and user experience. Furthermore, it's important to note that when the cleaning equipment is in a horizontal position, the user's gaze is primarily focused on the surface being cleaned, i.e., the floor brush. This disclosure, by moving the status display component to the floor brush, places the status information precisely where the user's line of sight is focused. Users can still intuitively obtain key information during horizontal cleaning, improving operational continuity and convenience.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this disclosure, but not all embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, this disclosure provides a cleaning device that may include a body 100 and a floor brush 200. The floor brush 200 is connected to the body 100 and is used to contact a target surface for cleaning. The body 100 may provide at least one of the following for cleaning the target surface: electrical energy, suction pressure, and wastewater storage. For example, the body 100 and the floor brush 200 are pivotally connected, and the body 100 can rotate relative to the floor brush 200 to achieve two different usage states: cleaning while the body 100 is lying flat and cleaning while the body 100 is tilted. The floor brush 200 may be equipped with cleaning components that move with the floor brush 200 to perform mobile cleaning, thereby increasing the cleaning range. These cleaning components may be cleaning rollers and / or side brushes and / or cleaning cloths, etc.

[0031] In this embodiment, the floor brush 200 may include a clean water tank 210, a floor brush housing 220, and a status display component 230. The top of the floor brush housing 220 has a mounting groove 221 for mounting the clean water tank 210. The status display component 230 includes a light source 231 and an optical interaction layer. The optical interaction layer is disposed on the clean water tank 210, and the light source 231 is disposed on the floor brush housing 220. The light emitted by the light source 231 can illuminate the optical interaction layer, so that the optical interaction layer can transmit the status operation information of the cleaning equipment to the user for easy viewing.

[0032] In this way, by placing the status display component 230 on the floor brush 200, the large volume of the floor brush 200 can be utilized to obtain a larger installation space, facilitating installation and operation, and providing a larger status display area. Simultaneously, the optical interaction layer is placed on the water tank 210, allowing the status operation information of the cleaning equipment to be transferred to the water tank 210 for display. Utilizing the large area of ​​the water tank 210, a larger display space is obtained, eliminating the need for users to frequently pull the cleaning equipment back to check the operating status information, avoiding interruptions to the cleaning process, improving cleaning efficiency and user experience. The water tank 210 occupies most of the top area of ​​the floor brush 200, thus obtaining a larger water volume. By placing the optical interaction layer on the water tank 210, it avoids the optical interaction layer occupying other areas of the floor brush. In addition, it should be noted that when the cleaning equipment is in a flat position, the user's line of sight is mainly focused on the target surface being cleaned, namely the floor brush 200. This disclosure transfers the status display component 230 to the floor brush 200, so that the status operation information is located exactly where the user's line of sight is focused. The user can still intuitively obtain key information during the flat cleaning process, improving the continuity and convenience of operation.

[0033] For example, the status display component 230 may display status operation information as icons and / or text, without specific limitation. The clean water tank 210 may include an upper cover 211, a lower cover 212, and a first sidewall 213. The first sidewall 213 connects the upper cover 211 and the lower cover 212, thus forming a tank structure together. The upper cover 211, the lower cover 212, and the first sidewall 213 can be formed separately and then connected to each other. The first sidewall 213 may also be divided into two parts: one part is integrally designed with the upper cover 211 to form a first component, and the other part is integrally designed with the lower cover 212 to form a second component. The first component and the second component are thermally connected to form the tank structure. Alternatively, the first sidewall 213 may be integrally designed with the lower cover 212 to form a first component, and the first component is connected to the upper cover 211 to form the tank structure.

[0034] The aforementioned status display component 230 can display the status and operating information of the cleaning equipment through graphic projection.

[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the status display component 230 may also include a graphic projection lens 233. The light emitted by the light source 231 passes through the graphic projection lens 233 and shines on the optical interaction layer. Thus, the light from the light source 231 passes through the graphic projection lens 233 to form a graphic, which is then projected onto the optical interaction layer for display or reflection, so that the user can see the displayed graphic.

[0036] In this embodiment, the graphic projection lens 233 may include a lens and a graphic display layer 2332 disposed on the lens. The graphic display layer 2332 may be a graphic film, and the lens may serve as a carrier for the graphic film to support it so that the graphic film is always in an unfolded state. For example, along the light transmission direction, the graphic film may be disposed in front of, behind, or in the middle of the lens. The graphic film may be a thin film with a specific pattern or structure, and its pattern may be light-transmitting and light-blocking areas, or it may be a grating or diffraction element with a microstructure. These patterns determine the propagation mode of light and the final graphic formed.

[0037] Taking the example of light from light source 231 passing through graphic projection lens 233 to form a graphic, and then projecting the graphic onto the optical interaction layer for display. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the light source 231 and the graphic projection lens 233 can be disposed on the brush housing 220. The graphic projection lens 233 is located on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 221 and is located directly above the light source 231. The optical interaction layer is constructed as an imaging layer 2321, which is disposed on the upper cover 211. When the light source 231 is lit, the light emitted by the light source 231 can pass through the graphic projection lens 233 to form a pattern, and the pattern is projected onto the imaging layer 2321.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the light source 231 is mounted on the brush housing 220 and remains connected to the main body 100, eliminating the need for disassembly and reassembly with the water tank 210. This facilitates the installation of the light source 231 and the arrangement of the corresponding wiring harness, while also providing waterproofing and reducing costs. Furthermore, the liquid inside the water tank 210 and / or the color of the water tank 210 itself can obstruct the user's view, making the image on the graphic projection lens 233 on the brush housing 220 appear blurred from an external perspective. This improves the contrast between the image on the graphic projection lens 233 and the image on the imaging layer 2321, enhancing the user experience. In addition, the light source 231 and the graphic projection lens 233 are fixed to the brush housing 220, ensuring the stability of the distance between them and guaranteeing the brightness of the light.

[0039] For example, the imaging layer 2321 is typically made of a highly reflective material, capable of uniformly reflecting all visible light waves to ensure accurate image color reproduction. Its surface undergoes a special treatment to create a rough structure, causing diffuse reflection of incident light, thereby uniformly scattering the light in different directions, expanding the viewing range, and allowing the observer to see a clear image from different angles. The imaging layer 2321 can be a film structure attached to the outer or inner surface of the cover 211. Alternatively, the imaging layer 2321 can be formed on the outer or inner surface of the cover 211 through surface treatment.

[0040] Furthermore, the imaging layer 2321 can be a one-way membrane, so that the user can observe the remaining clean water inside the clean water tank 210.

[0041] Furthermore, a magnifying lens 234 can be installed on the lower cover 212. The magnifying lens 234 is located directly above the graphic projection lens 233, so that the light emitted by the light source 231 can pass through the graphic projection lens 233 and the magnifying lens 234 in sequence and then illuminate the imaging layer 2321. In this way, the image formed by the light passing through the graphic projection lens 233 can be magnified by the magnifying lens 234 and then imaged on the imaging layer 2321, so that larger status and operation information can be displayed to the user for easy viewing.

[0042] For example, the magnifying lens 234 can be a biconvex lens. The distance between the image projection lens 233 and the magnifying lens 234 should be less than twice the focal length of the magnifying lens 234 and greater than one focal length of the magnifying lens 234. The distance between the imaging layer 2321 and the magnifying lens 234 should be twice the focal length of the magnifying lens 234. The magnifying lens 234 can be embedded in the lower cover 212 of the clear water tank 210 to ensure the distance relationship between the focal point and the imaging image, making the magnified image clearly visible.

[0043] To further improve the clarity of the status operation information display, in some embodiments, the aforementioned lens can be a single convex lens 2331, which protrudes towards the light source 231, and the graphic display layer 2332 is disposed on the side of the single convex lens 2331 away from the light source 231. In this way, the single convex lens 2331 can converge the light emitted by the light source 231, increasing the luminous flux per unit area, thereby increasing the brightness of the graphic on the graphic display layer 2332, and further increasing the clarity of the graphic on the imaging layer 2321.

[0044] Taking the light from light source 231 passing through graphic projection lens 233 to form a graphic, and then being reflected by the optical interaction layer as an example. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the graphic projection lens 233 can also be disposed on the first sidewall 213. The mounting groove 221 has a second sidewall 2211 corresponding to the first sidewall 213. The light source 231 is arranged adjacent to the second sidewall 2211 and corresponding to the graphic projection lens 233, so that the light emitted by the light source 231 can pass through the graphic projection lens 233 to form a graphic. Correspondingly, the optical interaction layer is an optical reflection layer 2322. The light emitted by the light source 231 can be irradiated onto the optical reflection layer 2322 through the graphic projection lens 233, and then emitted upward through the optical reflection layer 2322 and through the top cover 211 of the water tank 210, so that the formed graphic is reflected by the optical reflection layer 2322 and enters the user's field of vision through the water tank 210. In this way, the graphic projection lens 233 can be made as large as possible using the first sidewall 213 to maximize the graphic area. Furthermore, users can only see the image reflected by the reflective surface 2322, and not the image on the projection lens 233, thus avoiding the overlap of the two images on a straight line and affecting the visual effect, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] In this embodiment, the aforementioned lens can be a plane mirror, and the graphic display layer 2332 is disposed on the side of the single convex lens 2331 that is away from or near the light source 231. The graphic display layer 2332 can also be clamped inside the plane mirror.

[0046] For example, the upper cover 211 of the water tank 210 may be provided with an inner extension plate, which extends into the interior of the water tank 210 and has an inclined section. An optical reflective layer 2322 can be formed by providing a high-brightness metal insert or a high-brightness reflective sticker on the side of the inclined section adjacent to the graphic projection lens 233. Alternatively, the optical reflective layer 2322 can also be formed by polishing the side of the inclined section adjacent to the graphic projection lens 233.

[0047] Furthermore, a diffuser lens 235 may be provided on the second sidewall 2211, located between the light source 231 and the image projection lens 233. The light emitted by the light source 231 can be evenly distributed on the image projection lens 233 through the scattering effect of the diffuser lens 235, so that the brightness of the image formed on the image projection lens 233 is uniform and the image quality is improved.

[0048] Furthermore, the optical reflective layer 2322 is located within the water storage space of the clear water tank 210. Thus, when the water level in the clear water tank 210 is higher than the position of the optical reflective layer 2322, the liquid in the storage space can magnify the image. Conversely, when the water level in the clear water tank 210 is lower than the position of the optical reflective layer 2322, water droplets condensing on the optical reflective layer 2322 or on the inner wall of the clear water tank 210 along the light transmission path form lens-like droplets that can also magnify the image, thereby increasing the image display size.

[0049] Of course, in some other embodiments, the optical reflective layer 2322 may also be isolated from the water storage space in the clean water tank 210.

[0050] In order to display more status and operating information of the cleaning equipment, in some embodiments, there may be multiple graphic projection lenses 233, and at least two graphic projection lenses 233 may have different graphics.

[0051] For example, there can be multiple light sources 231, each corresponding to a different graphic projection lens 233, so that one light source 231 can illuminate only one graphic projection lens. Alternatively, one light source 231 can correspond to two or more graphic projection lenses 233, allowing one light source 231 to illuminate two or more graphic projection lenses 233. From the top view of the floor brush 200, the multiple graphic projection lenses 233 can be spaced around the periphery of the mounting groove 221. The multiple graphic projection lenses 233 can also be arranged in an array or dispersedly, without specific limitations. Correspondingly, when the optical interaction layer is constructed as an imaging layer 2321, there can be one imaging layer 2321, with multiple graphics projected onto it. Alternatively, there can be multiple imaging layers 2321, each corresponding to a different graphic, with one graphic projected onto one imaging layer 2321.

[0052] The aforementioned status display component 230 can also display the status and operation information of the cleaning equipment through different color display methods.

[0053] Specifically, in some embodiments, the mounting groove 221 may have a second sidewall 2211 corresponding to the first sidewall 213. A light source 231 is disposed on the second sidewall 2211. Multiple light sources 231 may have different colors, or in other words, the light sources 231 may emit light of different colors. In one embodiment, the optical interaction layer corresponding to the light source 231 that emits light of different colors is constructed as an optical reflection layer 2322. The light emitted by the light source 231 illuminates the optical reflection layer 2322 and is reflected by the optical reflection layer 2322 onto the upper cover 211. Thus, the operating status of the cleaning equipment can be determined by recognizing the different colors displayed on the upper cover 211. For example, when cleaning the floor, red indicates the floor is dirty, blue indicates the floor is clean, and orange indicates low battery. In another embodiment, the optical interaction layer corresponding to the light source 231 is constructed as an optical scattering layer, which can disperse the parallel or concentrated light emitted from the light source 231 into diffused light, thereby softening or homogenizing the light, making it convenient for users to view the colors displayed on the optical scattering layer to understand the operating status of the corresponding colors, and avoiding direct light shining into the user's eyes.

[0054] The aforementioned status display component 230 can also display the status operation information of the cleaning equipment by providing backlighting for the graphics.

[0055] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the optical interaction layer can be constructed as a graphics display layer 2332. The graphics display layer 2332 is disposed on the water tank 210. The light emitted by the light source 231 shines on the graphics display layer 2332 to display the graphics on the graphics display layer 2332.

[0056] In this embodiment, the graphic display layer 2332 can be disposed on the upper cover 211 to display graphics on the upper cover 211. Specifically, the mounting groove 221 has a second sidewall 2211 corresponding to the first sidewall 213, and the light source 231 is disposed on the second sidewall 2211. A reflective mirror is disposed on the water tank 210, and the graphic display layer 2332 is disposed on the upper cover 211. The light emitted by the light source 231 is reflected by the reflective mirror and then shines on the graphic display layer 2332 to display the graphics on the graphic display layer 2332. In this way, the area of ​​the upper cover 211 can be used to maximize the size of the graphic display layer 2332, thereby increasing the size of the graphics on the graphic display layer 2332 and making it easier for users to view status and operation information. The reflective mirror can be an arc-shaped diffuser. When the light emitted by the light source 231 shines on the reflective mirror, the reflective mirror can redirect the light and expand the illumination range, thereby expanding the illumination area. This allows a larger graphic display layer 2332 to be arranged on the top cover 211 to display larger graphics for easier viewing by the user.

[0057] In this embodiment, the graphic display layer 2332 can also be disposed on the lower cover 212 to display graphics on the lower cover 212, thereby allowing the user to view the displayed graphics through the water tank 210. Specifically, as shown... Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the graphic display layer 2332 is mounted on the lower cover 212. A light source 231 is mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 221. The light emitted by the light source 231 illuminates the graphic display layer 2332 to display the graphics on it. This maximizes the size of the graphic display layer 2332 by utilizing the area of ​​the lower cover 212, thereby increasing the size of the graphics on the graphic display layer 2332 and facilitating the user's viewing of status and operating information. Furthermore, the liquid in the clear water tank 210 also magnifies the graphics displayed on the graphic display layer 2332, further increasing the display size of the graphics on the graphic display layer 2332 and facilitating the user's viewing of status and operating information.

[0058] For example, the graphic display layer 2332 can be attached to the outer surface of the lower cover 212. Specifically, the outer surface of the lower cover 212 may have an inwardly recessed groove, and the graphic display layer 2332 can be attached to the bottom of the groove. Of course, the graphic display layer 2332 can also be attached to the inner surface of the lower cover 212. Multiple graphic display layers 2332 and multiple light sources 231 can be provided, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, each light source 231 only provides backlight to its corresponding graphic display layer 2332, thereby providing multiple graphic displays and showing more status and operational information.

[0059] Furthermore, a diffusion lens 235 is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting slot 221. The light emitted by the light source 231 is diffused by the diffusion lens 235 and then shines on the graphic display layer 2332. In this way, the scattering effect of the diffusion lens 235 can be used to distribute the light evenly on the graphic display layer 2332, so that the brightness of the graphic formed on the graphic display layer 2332 is uniform, thus improving the image quality. Accordingly, the size of the graphic display layer 2332 can be determined according to the area of ​​the lower cover 212 and the diffusion effect of the diffusion lens 235, so as to maximize the display size while ensuring display quality.

[0060] Furthermore, a light-shielding layer 2121 may be provided on the lower cover 212, the light-shielding layer 2121 being located directly above the light source 231, and the graphic display layer 2332 (such as...) Figure 7The area outlined by the dashed line shown is offset from the light source 231. This allows the light-shielding layer 2121 to effectively block direct light from the light source 231, preventing light leakage from non-display areas and thus improving display clarity and contrast. Simultaneously, the offset positioning of the graphics display layer 2332 from the light source 231 prevents direct light from hitting the graphics display layer 2332, reducing light scattering and interference, and resulting in a more uniform and clearer displayed pattern.

[0061] For example, the lower cover 212 can be formed by secondary injection molding so that the graphic display layer 2332 is light-transmitting and the remaining areas are opaque, thereby forming a light-shielding layer 2121 during production. Of course, the light-shielding layer 2121 can also be formed by attaching a light-shielding film or spraying color onto the lower cover 212.

[0062] In some embodiments, the status display component uses color to indicate the operating status of the cleaning equipment. The light source can emit light of various colors, and through combinations of color depth, color changes, and flashing, a fixed combination of display information is formed to notify the user of the operating status. To prevent the light emitted by the light source 231 from directly shining into the user's eyes, an optical interaction layer is disposed in the path of the light source to block the light from directly hitting the user's eyes. The optical interaction layer is an optical scattering layer, which can be any light-transmitting component with a light-diffusing effect, such as frosted glass, milky white glass, patterned glass, or a light diffuser.

[0063] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a cleaning device is also provided. The cleaning device may include a body 100, a floor brush 200, and a status display component 230. The floor brush 200 includes a clean water tank 210 and a brush housing 220, with a mounting groove 221 on the top of the brush housing 220 for mounting the clean water tank 210. The status display component 230 is disposed on the body 100 and / or the floor brush 200, and displays the status operation information of the cleaning device on the clean water tank 210, at least when the cleaning device is running. In this way, the status operation information can be transferred to the clean water tank 210 for display, utilizing the large area of ​​the clean water tank 210 to obtain a larger display space. Users do not need to frequently pull the cleaning device back to check the operation status information, avoiding interruptions to the cleaning process, improving cleaning efficiency and user experience. Furthermore, when the cleaning equipment is in a flat position, the user's gaze is mainly focused on the target surface being cleaned, namely the floor brush 200. This disclosure transfers the status operation information to the clean water tank 210 for display, so that the status operation information is located exactly where the user's gaze is focused. The user can still intuitively obtain key information during the flat cleaning process, improving the continuity and convenience of operation.

[0064] It should be noted that the specific structure of the status display component 230 on the floor brush 200 can be referred to the detailed description above, and will not be repeated here. Regarding the specific structure of the status display component 230 on the body 100, it can be positioned on the front of the body 100, projecting display information onto the water tank 210.
