[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application embodiment provides a transverse movement mechanism, including a housing 3 and a transmission assembly 1. The housing 3 includes a sliding shell 32 and a fixed shell. The fixed shell is provided with a transverse movement groove 331 that cooperates with the sliding shell 32. The sliding shell 32 is used to fixally connect with the working module 4, and the sliding shell 32 drives the working module 4 to move together along the transverse movement groove 331. This allows the working module 4 to enter relatively narrow spaces for cleaning work, reducing dead corners. The fixed shell, as the main support structure of the transverse movement mechanism, not only provides physical protection for the working module 4 of the cleaning equipment, but also provides an installation area for the transmission assembly 1 and the transverse movement groove 331 for directional sliding of the working module 4.

[0027] The transmission assembly 1 includes a slide rod 12 and a turntable 11. One end of the slide rod 12 is connected to the turntable 11, and the other end is fixed horizontally relative to the sliding shell 32. The slide rod 12 drives the sliding shell 32 to slide along the transverse groove 331. The slide rod 12 is driven to move by the turntable 11. This transmission structure occupies little space, which can meet the transmission requirements and reduce the size of the equipment, making it easier for the cleaning equipment to enter a small space for cleaning work.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixed shell includes a first shell member 31, a second shell member 33, and a third shell member 34 that are fixedly connected in sequence. The sliding shell 32 is located between the first shell member 31 and the second shell member 33, and the second shell member 33 is provided with a transverse sliding groove 331. When the fixed shell is partially damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced to restore the function of the fixed shell. This multi-module structure helps to reduce the later maintenance costs. The sliding shell 32 is the core component that drives the movement of the working module 4. It is located between the first shell member 31 and the second shell member 33, which can provide good physical protection for the sliding shell 32.

[0029] In some embodiments, the first housing 31 is provided with a base 313 and a mounting base 312, the drive assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the base 313, and the turntable 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 312 on the first housing 31.

[0030] Please see Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 1 also includes a connecting rod 13, one end of which is rotatably connected to the eccentric part of the turntable 11, and the other end is rotatably connected to the slide rod 12. When the drive assembly 2 drives the turntable 11 to rotate, one end of the connecting rod 13 rotates with the turntable 11, while the other end swings and causes the slide rod 12 to move along the first clearance hole 311.

[0031] The rotational motion of the turntable 11 is converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the slide rod 12 through the connection of the connecting rod 13. During the rotation of the turntable 11, the eccentric part will drive the connecting rod 13 to swing, and the connecting rod 13 will then transmit this swing to the slide rod 12, causing the slide rod 12 to drive the sliding shell 32 to slide along the transverse groove 331.

[0032] This motion conversion method is simple and reliable, effectively transmitting the power of the turntable 11 to the slide bar 12 to achieve the lateral movement of the working module 4. The presence of the connecting rod 13 increases the flexibility of the transmission assembly 1. It can, to a certain extent, buffer and absorb the impact and vibration that may be generated during the rotation of the turntable 11, reducing the influence of these adverse factors on the slide bar 12 and the entire lateral movement mechanism, and improving the smoothness of the operation of the transmission assembly 1.

[0033] In some embodiments, a spacer 131 is provided at the connection between the slide rod 12 and the connecting rod 13 to prevent excessive wear of the slide rod 12. The spacer 131 is typically a bearing or a nylon sleeve. This reduces wear on the slide rod 12, extends its service life, and ensures smooth and uninterrupted operation of the transmission assembly 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 1 further includes a rack, and the transmission relationship between the turntable 11 and the slide bar 12 can also be realized through the rack. The outer periphery of the turntable 11 is provided with teeth that mesh with the rack. The rack is parallel to the transverse groove 331, and the end of the rack away from the turntable 11 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 12. When the drive assembly 2 drives the turntable 11 to rotate, the rotational motion of the turntable 11 causes the rack to move along a direction parallel to the transverse groove 331, and the slide bar 12 also moves along the length direction of the transverse groove 331 along with the rack.

[0035] The rack and pinion drive has a fixed transmission ratio, meaning that for every certain angle the turntable 11 rotates, the rack moves a fixed distance accordingly. This creates a stable correspondence between the moving speed and displacement of the slide rod 12 and the rotation angle of the turntable 11. When the drive assembly 2 drives the turntable 11 to rotate, the teeth and rack mesh sequentially, ensuring that the rotational motion of the turntable 11 is precisely converted into the linear motion of the rack. This precise transmission makes the movement of the slide rod 12 along the first clearance hole 311 more accurate.

[0036] In some embodiments, the sliding housing 32 is provided with a vertical cylinder 321, and the end of the slide rod 12 away from the turntable 11 is sleeved on the vertical cylinder 321. Through the cooperation of the slide rod 12 and the vertical cylinder 321, the working module 4 can be quickly assembled onto the transverse mechanism, realizing the relative fixation of the slide rod 12 and the working module 4 in the same horizontal direction, effectively improving the efficiency of equipment installation or disassembly.

[0037] Please see Figures 4 to 5As shown, the transmission assembly 1 further includes a drive assembly 2, which is connected to the turntable 11 and provides kinetic energy for the operation of the transverse mechanism. The drive assembly 2 includes a driver 21 and a drive gear 22; the driver 21 is fixedly connected to the base 313, and the rotation shaft of the driver 21 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 22, which is used for transmission connection with the turntable 11.

[0038] The combination of the driver 21 and the drive gear 22 has a relatively compact structure. The drive gear 22 is directly connected to the rotating shaft of the driver 21, reducing the number of transmission components and space occupation. This compact structural design makes the overall size of the transverse mechanism smaller. The driver 21 here includes, but is not limited to, a common motor or a servo motor. The driver 21 outputs torque through the rotating shaft to rotate the drive gear 22, which in turn drives the turntable 11 to rotate. Finally, the turntable 11 drives the slide bar 12 to move along the length direction of the first clearance hole 311, and the transverse mechanism enters the working state.

[0039] If it is necessary to adjust the speed, force, or other parameters of the traversing mechanism, the transmission ratio can be changed by replacing the drive gear 22 or the turntable 11 gear with different numbers of teeth, thereby achieving speed and force adjustment. In addition, the output speed and torque can be further controlled by adjusting the input parameters (such as voltage and current) of the driver 21 to meet the diverse needs of different working scenarios.

[0040] In some embodiments, an idler wheel 14 is provided between the turntable 11 and the drive gear 22, and the idler wheel 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed housing. The turntable 11 is provided with teeth that mesh with the idler wheel 14.

[0041] The idler wheel 14 acts as an intermediate load-bearing component, reducing direct wear between the drive gear 22 and the turntable 11. If the turntable 11 needs to be frequently started and stopped or subjected to impact loads, the idler wheel 14 can absorb some of the impact, reducing the contact stress on the tooth surfaces of the drive gear 22 and the turntable 11, and extending the service life of both. Direct meshing between the drive gear 22 and the turntable 11 may cause meshing impact. The idler wheel 14 acts as a buffer, breaking down a single large impact into two smaller impacts, reducing transmission vibration, and helping to reduce noise during the operation of the traverse mechanism.

[0042] The idler gear 14 includes a large gear 142 and a small gear 141. The large gear 142 and the small gear 141 are coaxial and fixedly connected at one end. The large gear 142 is driven by the driving gear 22, and the small gear 141 meshes with the turntable 11. The rotational speed of the driving gear 22 is reduced after being transmitted to the small gear 141 to prevent the idler gear 14 from rotating too fast and failing to mesh properly with the turntable 11.

[0043] Please see Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 2 further includes a swing arm 221. One end of the swing arm 221 is sleeved on a rotating shaft, and the other end is provided with a driven gear 23 that meshes with the drive gear 22. The driven gear 23 is rotatably connected to the swing arm 221 and is drively connected to the turntable 11.

[0044] When the driver 21 drives the driving gear 22 to rotate via the shaft, the driven gear 23 rotates on its own axis and revolves around the driving gear 22 in a circumferential direction. This circumferential rotation of the driven gear 23 causes the rocker arm 221 to deflect. The direction of rotation of the driven gear 23 is opposite to the direction of rotation of the driving gear 22, and the direction of its revolution is also affected by the direction of rotation of the driving gear 22. When the driving gear 22 rotates counterclockwise, the driven gear 23 rotates clockwise on its own axis and revolves in a clockwise direction, meaning the rocker arm 221 deflects to the right; when the driving gear 22 rotates clockwise, the driven gear 23 rotates counterclockwise on its own axis and revolves in a counterclockwise direction, meaning the rocker arm 221 deflects to the left. The drive assembly 2 controls the swing direction of the swing arm 221 to realize the connection relationship between the drive assembly 2 and the transmission connection, so that the drive assembly 2 can start or stop the transverse mechanism according to the user's needs. At the same time, the kinetic energy provided by the drive assembly 2 can be used for other structures of the cleaning equipment, reducing the number of drives 21 required by the cleaning equipment, simplifying the structure of the cleaning equipment, and reducing the cost of the cleaning equipment.

[0045] Please see Figure 6 As shown, on the other hand, this utility model discloses a cleaning device, including a working module 4 and the aforementioned lateral movement mechanism. The lateral movement component drives the working module 4 to move horizontally relative to the housing 3. This facilitates the working module 4 entering smaller spaces to perform floor cleaning work.

[0046] Please see Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the working module 4 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed fixed posts 41, and the sliding shell 32 is provided with fasteners at the positions corresponding to the fixed posts 41. The fasteners pass through the sliding shell 32 and are screwed into the fixed posts 41. Through the cooperation of the plurality of fasteners and the plurality of fixed posts 41, each area of ​​the working module 4 is kept relatively fixed to the sliding shell 32, and the working module 4 and the sliding shell 32 move synchronously in the horizontal direction.

[0047] The second housing 33 and the third housing 34 are respectively provided with a second clearance hole 332 and a third clearance hole 341 for the fixed post 41 to pass through. The length direction of the second clearance hole 332 and the third clearance hole 341 is parallel to the length direction of the transverse sliding groove 331. The second clearance hole 332 and the third clearance hole 341 can prevent the second housing 33 and the third housing 34 from interfering with the sliding rod 12 of the fixed post 41, so as to ensure that the sliding housing 32 can smoothly drive the working module 4 to move along the transverse sliding groove 331.

[0048] In some embodiments, the working principle of the transverse mechanism is as follows: The driver 21 is activated, the driving gear 22 drives the driven gear 23 to rotate, and the swing arm 221 deflects towards the turntable 11; then the driven gear 23 meshes with the large gear 142 on the idler wheel 14, and the small gear 141 on the idler wheel 14 meshes with the turntable 11. The torque of the driver 21 is transmitted to the turntable 11 sequentially through the driving gear 22, the driven gear 23, and the idler wheel 14, causing the turntable 11 to rotate. The rotating turntable 11 transmits power to the sliding rod 12 via the connecting rod 13. The sliding rod 12 drives the sliding housing 32 to move along the transverse groove 331 on the second housing 33. The working module 4 is fixedly connected to the sliding housing 32 and moves synchronously with it, meaning the working module 4 can move horizontally relative to the housing 3.

[0049] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
