[0010] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are all included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0011] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "has," or any other variation thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or device that includes a set of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not expressly listed or inherent in such product or device. Unless further limited, the fact that a definition is provided using the phrase "including one or more" does not exclude the presence of other elements of the same type in the product or device of said elements.
[0012] In this field, a cleaning device, such as a floor cleaner, usually includes a device body and a cleaning sheet body. The cleaning device usually includes a recovery water tank such as a dirty water tank, a cleaning liquid tank such as a clean water tank, and a main exhaust fan for suction, and the cleaning sheet body includes a cleaning roller for dragging and wiping, and the number of cleaning rollers is one, two or more. The cleaning liquid, such as water, is sprayed onto the cleaning roller with thread and / or onto the surface to be cleaned through the built-in water pipe, and the cleaning roller rotates at high speed to drag and wipe the surface to be cleaned. At the same time, the main exhaust fan creates a negative pressure in the device air duct of the cleaning device, and the dirty water (which may contain solid garbage) on the surface to be cleaned is sucked in through the dirt absorption port of the cleaning device and pumped to the dirty water tank, and the above-mentioned dirty water return path also serves as a part of the device air duct of the cleaning device.
[0013] The cleaning device is usually returned to the pile body after use and supported by the pile body, and the pile body can be used for self-cleaning of the device, for example, to wash and / or dry the cleaning roller, and charging operation can also be performed on the pile body. In the related art, the pile body is usually of one-piece structure, and its size is large, requiring large packaging, and the storage groove provided at the base of the pile body is used to store the cleaning sheet body of the cleaning device, and the cleaning roller of the cleaning sheet body needs to be washed in the storage groove, and dirt exists in the storage groove, especially the roller groove corresponding to the cleaning roller, and the one-piece structure of the pile body is disadvantageous for cleaning the storage groove, especially the roller groove, and specifically, since the pile body has electronic components such as charging wires, circuit boards, and blowers, the one-piece pile body has a risk of water irritation to the electronic components when cleaning, and the volume is too large, which is disadvantageous for cleaning.
[0014] The present disclosure provides a pile body configured to support a cleaning device, the pile body including a pile body and a removable tray. The pile body includes a base tray and a support sheet provided on the base tray, the support sheet configured to support a device body of the cleaning device. The removable tray is configured to be detachably connected to the base tray, where the removable tray is connected to the base tray to form an accommodation groove, the accommodation groove is configured to accommodate a cleaning sheet body of the cleaning device, the removable tray has a roller groove configured to accommodate a cleaning roller on the cleaning sheet body, and the removable tray includes a water stop rib provided on one or both sides of the roller groove.
[0015] In the present disclosure, the pile body includes a pile body and a removable tray, the removable tray is detachably connected to the base tray of the pile body, so that the packaging size in this state can be reduced, and the removable tray can be separated and removed from the pile body, which is convenient for users to clean. The removable tray includes a roller groove and water-stopping ribs provided on both sides of the roller groove, so that when the cleaning device performs a cleaning operation of the cleaning roller on the pile body, the cleaning liquid can remain in the roller groove as much as possible and avoid leaking to other parts of the receiving groove.
[0016] Selected embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a pile body in a connected state provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a pile body in a connected state provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, where the pile body shown in FIG. 2 has a different viewing angle from the pile body shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a pile body in a detached state provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a pile body in a detached state provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, where the pile body shown in FIG. 4 has a different viewing angle from the pile body shown in FIG. 3. Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a pile body 10 configured to support a cleaning device, where the cleaning device is, for example, a floor cleaning machine. After the cleaning work of the floor cleaning machine is completed, it is returned to and supported by the pile body 10, and various operations such as charging, cleaning roller washing, and / or cleaning roller drying may be performed on the pile body.
[0018] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, the pile body 10 includes a pile body 13 and a removable tray 111, both of which may be detached or connected. Specifically, the pile body 13 includes a base tray 112 and a support sheet 12. The support sheet 12 is provided on the base tray 112, and the support sheet 12 extends away from the base tray 112, for example, from one surface of the base tray 112 along a direction basically perpendicular to the base tray 112, and the support sheet 12 and the base tray 112 may be of an integral structure or of a separate structure. The support sheet 12 is used to support the device body of the cleaning device, and when the cleaning device is placed on the pile body 10, the support sheet 12 supports the device body of the cleaning device. The removable tray 111 is detachably connected to the base tray 112, and the two constitute the base 11 of the pile body 20.
[0019] When the removable tray 111 is connected to the base tray 112 to form a complete base 11, the base 11 has an accommodation groove 14, which is used to accommodate the cleaning sheet body of the cleaning device. When the cleaning device is placed on the pile body 10, the base 11 supports and accommodates the cleaning sheet body of the cleaning device, and at least a part of the cleaning sheet body is accommodated in the accommodation groove 14, which facilitates the cleaning roller on the cleaning sheet body to perform a self-cleaning operation on the pile body 10 to remove dirt on the cleaning roller.
[0020] The removable tray 111 has a roller groove 1111 configured to accommodate the cleaning roller on the cleaning sheet body, and the removable tray further includes water stop ribs 1112 provided on both sides of the roller groove. The number of roller grooves 1111 is, for example, one or more, and corresponds to the number of cleaning rollers of the cleaning device, and in other embodiments, one roller groove 1111 may correspond to one or more cleaning rollers. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the number of roller grooves 1111 is, for example, two, and the two roller grooves 1111 are provided in parallel, and the number of water stop ribs 1112 may be, for example, two, and each may be provided on both sides of the roller groove 1111. The cleaning roller performs a cleaning operation using a cleaning liquid in the roller groove 1111, and the water stop rib 1112 is used to block the cleaning liquid sprayed from the roller groove 1111 to the outside of the roller groove when the cleaning roller performs a self-cleaning operation.
[0021] The removable tray 111 in the present disclosure is detachably connected to the base tray 112 of the pile body 13, and the arrangement manner after disassembling the two is flexible, the space can be utilized more rationally, and the packaging design is more flexible, for example, a small package can be adopted for the pile body 10 in the detached state, and the packaging cost can be saved. In addition, as for the roller groove where dirt is easily accumulated, the removable tray 111 can be separated from the pile body 13, so that the user can wash the removable tray 111 after removing it, which is convenient for cleaning.
[0022] 1 to 4, the base tray 112 includes a first engaging and fixing member 1121, which extends from one side wall, i.e., a connecting side wall, of the base tray 112 in a direction away from the support sheet 12, and the connecting side wall is, for example, a side wall of the base tray 112 away from the support sheet 12. The removable tray 111 includes a second engaging and fixing member 1113, which is removably engaged with the first engaging and fixing member 1121 and is configured to connect the removable tray 111 to the base tray 112. With the above structure, the removable tray 111 can be easily attached to or removed from the base tray 112.
[0023] 1 to 4, the number of the first engaging and fixing members 1121 is plural, and the first engaging and fixing members 1121 are uniformly arranged along a connecting side wall of the base tray 112, for example, a side wall of the base tray 112 away from the support sheet 12, and the second engaging and fixing members 1113 are plural, and the second engaging and fixing members 1113 correspond one-to-one to the first engaging and fixing members 1121. Two or more pairs of corresponding first engaging and fixing members 1121 and second engaging and fixing members 1113 stably connect the removable tray 111 and the base tray 112, and their positions are fixed to each other after they are connected.
[0024] In some embodiments, one of the first engaging and fixing member 1121 and the second engaging and fixing member 1113 includes a T-shaped engaging groove, and the other includes a T-shaped insert, and the T-shaped engaging groove and the T-shaped insert are configured to be locked. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the T-shaped engaging groove described in the present disclosure refers to an engaging groove having a specific structure, and a cross section in a plane perpendicular to a first direction is T-shaped. The first direction is, for example, the vertical direction Y, and the plane perpendicular to the first direction is, for example, a horizontal plane. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the T-shaped insert described in the present disclosure refers to an insert having a specific structure, and a cross section in a plane perpendicular to the first direction is T-shaped. The first direction is, for example, the vertical direction Y, and the plane perpendicular to the first direction is, for example, a horizontal plane.
[0025] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first engaging and fixing member 1121 includes a T-shaped engaging groove, and the second engaging and fixing member includes a T-shaped insert, and when the removable tray 111 is connected to the base tray 112, the removable tray 111 moves toward the base tray 112 along the first direction Y until the two are integrally connected. For example, the pile body 13 is first placed on an operation surface, such as a horizontal floor surface, and the removable tray 111 moves from top to bottom toward the horizontal floor surface along the vertical direction, and the second engaging and fixing member 1113 is aligned with the corresponding first engaging and fixing member 1121 and inserted and connected. When the removable tray 111 is removed from the base tray 112, the removable tray 111 moves away from the base tray 112 along the first direction Y. For example, for the pile body 10 placed on an operation surface such as a horizontal floor surface, the removable tray 111 moves away from the base tray 112 from bottom to top along the vertical direction.
[0026] By using the first engaging and fixing member 1121 and the second engaging and fixing member 1113 of the above-mentioned specific structure and mating and inserting them together, the base tray 112 and the removable tray 111 do not move horizontally relative to each other, thereby more securely connecting the base tray 112 to the removable tray 111.
[0027] In some embodiments, the base tray 112 includes a first positioning engagement member 1122, which is provided on a connecting side wall of the base tray 112, for example, on a side wall of the base tray 112 away from the support sheet 12. The removable tray 111 further includes a second positioning engagement member 1114, which is configured to be engaged with the first positioning engagement member 1122 and position and connect the removable tray 111 and the base tray 112. During the process of matching and inserting and connecting the first engaging and fixing member 1121 and the second engaging and fixing member 1113, the first positioning engagement member 1122 is aligned and engaged with the second positioning engagement member 1114, which means that the first engaging and fixing member 1121 and the second engaging and fixing member 1113 are inserted and connected to a predetermined position, and the base tray 112 is securely and integrally connected to the removable tray 111.
[0028] In one embodiment, the first positioning engagement member 1122 is provided at least at one of both ends of the connecting side wall of the base tray. For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first positioning engagement member 1122 is provided at each end of the side wall of the base tray that is remote from the support sheet.
[0029] In some embodiments, one of the first positioning engagement member 1122 and the second positioning engagement member 1114 has a positioning engagement hole, and the other has a positioning buckle. For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first positioning engagement member 1122 has a positioning engagement hole, and the second positioning engagement member 1114 has a positioning buckle. When the first positioning engagement member 1122 and the second positioning engagement member 1114 are aligned and engaged, this indicates that the first engagement fixing member 1121 and the second engagement fixing member 1113 have been inserted and connected to a predetermined position, and indicates that the base tray 112 and the removable tray 111 are connected at a predetermined position to form the base 11.
[0030] In some embodiments, the removable tray 111 further comprises a stop arm 1115 provided at at least one end of the roller groove 1111 and configured to prevent the cleaning roller of the cleaning device from slipping off. The cleaning device is normally returned to the pile body after use and supported by the pile body, and the cleaning roller is washed by the pile body, and at least a part of the cleaning roller is accommodated in the roller groove 1111, and its self-cleaning operation is mainly performed in the roller groove, and during the cleaning process, a rotational operation of the cleaning roller is required, and the stop arm 1115 is provided at the end of the roller groove to prevent the cleaning roller from slipping off.
[0031] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the height of the stop arm 1115 is greater than the height of the side wall of the receiving groove 14.
[0032] FIG. 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning system provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, in which the cleaning device is supported by the pile body, and FIG. 6 is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning system provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, in which the cleaning device is separated from the pile body.
[0033] Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a cleaning device 20, such as a floor cleaning machine, which is adapted to the pile body 10. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the cleaning device 20 includes a cleaning sheet body 21, a device body 22, and a handle assembly 23. The device body 22 is provided above the cleaning sheet body 21 and is movably connected, for example pivotally connected, to the cleaning sheet body 21. The handle assembly 23 is connected to one end of the device body 22 remote from the cleaning sheet body 21 and is operably held by a user. The user holds the handle assembly 23 and operates the cleaning sheet body 21 to perform a cleaning task on a surface to be cleaned, such as a floor surface.
[0034] In some embodiments, the device body 22 extends in the longitudinal direction, the handle assembly 23 is connected to an upper end of the device body 22, the cleaning sheet body 21 is connected to a lower end of the device body 22, and the device body 22 is pivotally connected to the cleaning sheet body 21, so that the handle assembly 23 and the device body 22 can be rotated relative to the cleaning sheet body 21 to change the operation angle and flexibly adjust the cleaning posture. The cleaning sheet body 21 includes a cleaning part at its bottom, such as a cleaning roller 211. Specifically, the number of the cleaning rollers 211 can be, for example, one or more, for example, two or three, and the cleaning rollers 211 rotate at a high speed to mop the floor surface.
[0035] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the cleaning device 20, e.g., a floor cleaning machine, further includes a clean water tank 26 and a dirty water tank 25, both of which are provided, for example, in the device body 22. The clean water tank 26 stores a cleaning liquid, e.g., clean water, and supplies the clean water to the cleaning roller 211 through a clean water pipe to wet the surface of the cleaning roller 211, so that the cleaning roller 211 can wet clean the surface to be cleaned. The dirty water tank 25 is configured to store the collected dirty water. When the cleaning roller 211 performs wet cleaning, dirty water is generated on the surface to be cleaned, and the dirty water is collected in the dirty water tank 25 through the dirty water collection pipe.
[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, after the cleaning device 20 performs a cleaning operation, it is returned to the normal pile body 10, and the pile body 10 supports and fixes the cleaning device 20. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, in some embodiments, a support groove 121 is provided at one end of the support sheet 12 away from the base tray 112. The support groove 121 is used to accommodate a part of the device body 22 of the cleaning device 20 and support the device body 22. For example, it accommodates an end of the device body 22 of the cleaning device 20 away from the handle assembly 23. When the cleaning device 20 is returned to the pile body 10 after performing a cleaning operation, the support groove 121 supports the device body 22, and the accommodation groove on the base 11 accommodates and supports the cleaning sheet body 21 of the cleaning device 20. The cleaning roller 211 on the cleaning sheet body 21 is accommodated in the roller groove 1111.
[0037] When the cleaning device 20 is supported by the pile body 10, maintenance operations such as charging, self-cleaning, and drying can be performed on the cleaning device 20. In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the pile body 10 may include a first charging / communication interface, and the cleaning device 20 may include a second charging / communication interface. The first charging / communication interface is connected to the second charging / communication interface together to realize the charging / communication function between the cleaning device 20 and the pile body 10. The charging / communication function here means realizing at least one of the charging function and the communication function. In the present disclosure, " / " indicates "and / or".
[0038] In some embodiments, the first charging / communication interface has at least one first charging / communication terminal, and the at least one first charging / communication terminal is a male terminal or a female terminal. For example, if the first charging / communication terminal is a male terminal, the second charging / communication interface on the cleaning device 20 has a corresponding female terminal, and if the first charging / communication terminal is a female terminal, the second charging / communication interface on the cleaning device 20 has a corresponding male terminal. By providing mating female terminals and male terminals on the pile body 10 and the cleaning device 20, respectively, good electrical access is possible when the cleaning device 20 performs a maintenance operation. In some embodiments, the number of first charging / communication terminals may be two or more, and the multiple first charging / communication terminals may be regularly arranged. The first charging / communication terminals may all be the same type of terminals, such as a charging terminal, a communication terminal, or a composite terminal in which both are time-division multiplexed, or some may be charging terminals and some may be communication terminals.
[0039] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, in the example where the first charging / communication interface and the second charging / communication interface are both charging interfaces, the first charging interface 122 is provided in the support groove 121, and the first charging interface 122 is connected to the second charging interface on the device main body 22 to charge the device main body 22.
[0040] In the related art, the cleaning device can be returned to the pile body to perform charging operation, but the charging terminal in the charging interface on the pile body is usually exposed and is easily affected by moisture in the external environment, which causes charging path failure. Because the charging terminal is exposed, if a user accidentally spills water on the charging terminal during use, if the accumulated water is not cleaned up in a timely manner, the operating circuit will be short-circuited, which is likely to cause damage to the device.
[0041] In order to overcome the problem, some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a pile body, configured to support a cleaning device, charge the cleaning device, and / or communicate with the cleaning device, the pile body including a base configured to support a cleaning sheet body of the cleaning device, and a support sheet provided on the base and configured to support the device body of the cleaning device, the support sheet including a first charging / communication interface, the first charging / communication interface including a first charging holder having a cavity, a female / male terminal provided in the cavity and inserted and connected with a male / female terminal on the cleaning device, and a waterproof layer, such as a waterproof soft rubber layer, covering at least a part of the first charging holder to protect the female / male terminal. In the present disclosure, the waterproof soft rubber layer is used to protect the female charging terminal in the cavity, and is not affected by external moisture and is protected from contact with conductive liquid.
[0042] In the following embodiments, the first charging / communication interface is a first charging interface, the second charging / communication interface is a second charging interface, the female / male terminal is a female charging terminal, and the male / female terminal is a male charging terminal.
[0043] Fig. 7 is a structural schematic diagram of a pile body in a connected state provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, and the pile body shown in Fig. 7 has a different viewing angle from the pile body shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is an enlarged schematic diagram of an M region in Fig. 7, Fig. 9 is a local cross-sectional view of the M region shown in Fig. 8, and Fig. 10 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of Fig. 9.

To facilitate guiding the male charging terminal into cavity 12211, cavity entrance 122111 has a structure that gradually widens away from the cavity, for example.
[0048] In some embodiments, the waterproof soft rubber layer 1223 includes a waterproof soft rubber head 12231, which is disposed on a side of the cavity 12211 away from the base 11, and the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 is configured to be switched between an open state and a closed state.
[0049] When the cleaning device 20 is supported by the pile body 10, the male charging terminal presses the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 to make the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 open, and the male charging terminal passes through the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 and enters the cavity 12211 to be inserted and connected with the female charging terminal 1222. When the cleaning device 20 is not supported by the pile body 10, the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 is in a closed state to protect the female charging terminal 1222 in the cavity 12211.
[0050] The waterproof soft rubber head 12231 is made of elastic material, for example, has a cross-shaped notch, and is in a closed state when no external force is applied. During the process of placing the cleaning device 20 on the pile body 10 and being supported by the pile body 10, the male charging terminal of the cleaning device 20 presses the waterproof soft rubber head 12231, making the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 open, and the male charging terminal passes through the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 and enters the cavity 12211 to be inserted and connected with the female charging terminal 1222, realizing electrical access to charge the cleaning device 20. At this time, the notch wall of the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 is in close contact with the side wall of the male charging terminal, preventing the intrusion of liquids such as water from the outside, and playing the role of sealing and waterproofing during the charging process. The waterproof soft rubber layer may be made of a material having the same properties as soft rubber, and the same properties may mean having waterproofness and elasticity.
[0051] In some embodiments, the number of female charging terminals 1222 may be one or more, and the multiple female charging terminals 1222 are arranged regularly, for example, four female charging terminals 1222 are evenly arranged in one row as shown in Figures 7 to 10, and in other embodiments, the multiple female charging terminals 1222 may be arranged in two or more rows, and the number of cavities 12211 and waterproof soft rubber heads 12231 may be one or more. The cavities 12211 and the waterproof soft rubber heads 12231 each correspond one-to-one to the female charging terminals 1222.
[0052] 1 to 10 , in some embodiments, the first charging interface 122 further includes a guide pole 1224 provided on the first charging holder 1221, for example, the guide pole 1224 extends from the first charging holder 1221 in a direction away from the base 11. The guide pole 1224 is configured to be inserted into a guide hole of the cleaning device 20 to align the female charging terminal 1222 and the male charging terminal, and ensure accurate connection between the female charging terminal 1222 and the male charging terminal.
[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 10, the first charging holder 1221 includes a charging holder body 12212 and a protrusion 12213, the protrusion 12213 is provided on the charging holder body 12212, and the cavity 12211 extends from the charging holder body 12212 to the protrusion 12213. A guide pillar 1224 is also provided on the charging holder body 12212 and is provided at a distance from the protrusion 12213. In some embodiments, the number of guide pillars 1224 is one or more, for example, two, and the two guide pillars 1224 are provided on both sides of the protrusion 12213, for example, and correspond to two guide holes of the cleaning device 20. Here, the guide pillar and the guide hole are not limited in terms of their shapes, but merely indicate that both are convex-concave matching structures. In some embodiments, the guide post may be a protrusion of any shape, such as a cylinder, a cone, or a tapered truncated, and the guide hole is accordingly set as a groove of matching shape according to the shape of the guide post.
[0054] In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 7 to 10, the guide pole 1224 is arranged parallel to the cavity 12211, and the length of the guide pole 1224 is greater than the length of the protrusion 12213. For example, in the extending direction of the guide pole 1224, the end of the guide pole 1224 remote from the first charging holder 1221 is farther from the base 11 than the end of the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 remote from the first charging holder 1221. In this way, during the connection charging process of the first charging interface 122 of the pile body 10 and the second charging interface of the cleaning device 20, before the male charging terminal contacts the female charging terminal 1222, the guide pole 1224 is inserted into the guide hole of the cleaning device 20 to be aligned and guided, so that the female charging terminal 1222 and the male charging terminal are aligned with each other, and damage to the charging connector due to the misalignment of the charging terminals, back and forth trials, etc. can be avoided.
[0055] FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of the device body of a cleaning device provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, showing a partial structure of a bottom view of the cleaning device 20 in FIG. 6 , and FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the insertion of a first charging / communication interface and a second charging / communication interface provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0056] 1 to 12, the present disclosure provides a cleaning device 20, which is supported by a pile body 10 to perform a charging operation, and the cleaning device 20 includes a cleaning sheet body 21 and a device body 22. The device body 22 is provided above the cleaning sheet body 21 and is movably connected, for example pivotally connected, to the cleaning sheet body 21, and the cleaning sheet body 21 includes a cleaning roller 211. The cleaning device 20 further includes a handle assembly 23 provided at one end of the device body 22 remote from the cleaning sheet body 21 and configured to be operated and held by a user.
[0057] The device body 22 includes a second charging interface 221, which is provided, for example, at an end of the device body 22 away from the handle assembly 23, and which includes a second charging holder 2211 and a male charging terminal 2212. The male charging terminal 2212 is provided on the second charging holder 2211 and is configured to be inserted into the female charging terminal 1222 on the pile body 10 to realize a charging path for charging the cleaning device 20.
[0058] In some embodiments, the second charging holder 2211 has a recess 22111, at least a part of the male charging terminal 2212 is provided in the recess 22111, and the male charging terminal 2212 extends from a bottom surface of the recess 22111 in a direction away from the device body 22. When the cleaning device 20 is placed on the pile body 10, at least a part of the protrusion 12213 of the first charging holder 1221 is inserted into the recess 22111, and the protrusion 12213 matches the shape of the recess 22111, so that the first charging interface 122 and the second charging interface 221 can be securely connected.
[0059] In some embodiments, the second charging holder 2211 has a guide hole 22112, and the guide hole 22112 accommodates the guide post 1224 of the pile body 10, aligns the male charging terminal 2212 and the female charging terminal 1222 with each other, and is configured to avoid damage to the charging connector due to misalignment of the charging terminals, trial and error, etc. In some embodiments, the number of guide holes 22112 corresponds to the guide post 1224 and may be one or more, for example, two, and the two guide holes are provided on both sides of the recess 22111, respectively.
[0060] In some embodiments, the second charging interface 221 further includes a reset spring 2213. The reset spring 2213 is provided in the guide hole 22112 and is configured to press the guide post 1224 so that the guide post 1224 has a tendency to disengage from the guide hole 22112. By providing the reset spring, it is possible to avoid the second charging interface 221 from being difficult to disengage from the first charging interface 122. Specifically, it is possible to prevent the cleaning device 20 from being difficult to disengage from the pile body 10 due to excessive engagement between the second charging interface 221 and the first charging interface 122. When the cleaning device 20 is placed on the pile body 10 for charging, the reset spring is compressed by the self-weight of the cleaning device 20. At the same time, the second charging interface 221 and the first charging interface 122 are inserted and connected to a predetermined position, and poor connection of the charging terminals is avoided. When the user removes the cleaning device 20 from the pile body, the reset spring provides a force opposite to the gravitational direction of the cleaning device 20 to overcome the frictional force generated by the tight locking between the male charging terminal 2212 and the female charging terminal 1222. Therefore, the user can separate the cleaning device 20 from the pile body 10 by applying a small force.
[0061] In some embodiments, the end of the male charging terminal 2212 away from the second charging holder 2211 has a structure that gradually narrows in a direction away from the second charging holder 2211, so that when the second charging interface 221 is connected to the first charging interface 122, the male charging terminal 2212 presses the notch of the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 to open the waterproof soft rubber head 12231, so that the male charging terminal 2212 enters the cavity 12211 and is inserted and connected with the female charging terminal 1222. When the male charging terminal 2212 does not press the waterproof soft rubber head 12231, the notch of the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 is in a closed state, which prevents external water or moisture from entering the cavity 12211 and protects the female charging terminal 1222. When the male charging terminal 2212 having the above structure presses the waterproof soft rubber head 12231, the notch of the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 is gradually opened, and the inner wall of the notch fits closely to the male charging terminal 2212 to fulfill a waterproof role.
[0062] In the present disclosure, the entrance of the cavity 12211 in which the female charging terminal 1222 is housed can be closed by switching the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 between an open state and a closed state, and the waterproof soft rubber head 12231 is made of an elastic material, and the male charging terminal 2212 is inserted and connected with the female charging terminal 1222, so that the female charging terminal 1222 can be easily protected.
[0063] The female / male terminal includes an elastic interface at the male terminal, and the elastic interface is configured to accommodate at least a part of the male terminal. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7 to 12, the female charging terminal 1222 includes an elastic interface 12221, and the elastic interface 12221 accommodates a part of the male charging terminal 2212, and is used for the female charging terminal 1222 and the corresponding male charging terminal 2212 to be closely connected. The elastic interface 12221 includes, for example, a plurality of elastic sheets, for example, two or more, which surround the entrance of the elastic interface 12221 and are used for the male charging terminal 2212 to be inserted, and the plurality of elastic sheets tend to approach each other, and are clamped by the elastic sheets after the male charging terminal 2212 is inserted into the entrance of the elastic interface 12221. Specifically, the multiple elastic sheets are curved in an arc shape, and the elastic interface 12221 includes a constricting portion and an opening portion which are successively brought closer to the waterproof soft rubber head 12231, and the constricting portion is used to clamp the male charging terminal 2212 and ensure good electrical contact between the male charging terminal 1222 and the female charging terminal 2212. The opening portion gradually widens in the direction toward the waterproof soft rubber head 12231, for example in a flared shape, and is aligned with the cavity entrance 122111 so that the male charging terminal 2212 can be easily inserted into the elastic interface 12221.
[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 8, at least one of the pair of opposing side walls of the support groove 121 of the support sheet 12 is provided with a guide groove 1211, and in some embodiments, the pair of side walls are provided with the guide groove 1211. As shown in Fig. 11, at least one of the pair of opposing side walls of the device body 20 of the cleaning device 20 is provided with a guide protrusion 222, for example, the pair of opposing side walls are provided with the guide protrusion 222. The guide protrusion 222 is provided to match with the guide groove 1211. When the cleaning device 20 is returned to the pile body 10, the guide protrusion 222 is matched with the guide groove 1211, and the guide protrusion 222 slides into the guide groove 1211, so that the device body 22 of the cleaning device 20 is aligned with the support groove 121 of the support sheet 12 of the pile body 10, and the device body 22 is accurately supported by the support sheet 12, and misalignment is avoided. In some embodiments, the guide groove 1211 extends along the side wall of the support groove 121 from the top of the side wall to the bottom of the side wall, and the width of the guide groove 1211 gradually narrows as it gradually approaches the bottom of the side wall, and this design facilitates increasing the robustness of the device body 20 when it is returned to the support groove 121 of the support sheet 12.
[0065] In some embodiments, the guide groove 1211 cooperates with the guide protrusion 222 to form a first level of guiding and alignment, and the guide post 1224 cooperates with the guide hole 22122 to form a second level of guiding and alignment, and through the two levels of guiding and alignment, the device body 20 can be accurately returned to the support groove 121 of the support sheet 12, and accurate insertion of the male charging terminal 2212 and the female charging terminal 1222 can be achieved.
