[0076] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following description is merely illustrative of the basic principles of the invention and is not intended to limit it.
[0077] The technical solutions of the embodiments disclosed herein will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments disclosed herein, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments disclosed herein, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any innovative efforts are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0078] It should be noted that all directional indications in this disclosed embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0079] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.
[0080] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this disclosure is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if it is feasible for those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this disclosure.
[0081] With the advancement of science and technology and social development, especially influenced by the fast pace of life and increased work pressure, people hope to be freed from tedious daily household cleaning tasks. Robotic mopping devices have emerged as a new generation of smart home devices, capable of sweeping and mopping simultaneously. However, existing robotic mopping devices are inconvenient to use.
[0082] This disclosure provides a cleaning device for cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment may include, but is not limited to, cleaning robots, smart cleaners, automatic floor scrubbers, mopping robots, and sweeping and mopping robots, etc., and has functions such as movement, sweeping, and vacuuming. Some cleaning equipment also includes functions such as mopping, terrain detection, and indoor area scanning. Taking a cleaning robot as an example, cleaning robots can come in various shapes. To ensure stability and applicability to various scenarios, such as cleaning areas under beds, the outer contour of a cleaning robot is usually flat. The outer shell of the cleaning robot mainly includes a chassis and an outer cover connected to the chassis and forming a receiving cavity. Various components for the operation of the cleaning robot can be installed in the receiving cavity, such as a controller, power supply device, position sensing components such as cameras, scanners, and gyroscopes, a cleaning mechanism, and a walking mechanism. The controller can be used to control the cleaning system and the walking mechanism. Common walking mechanisms mainly include moving wheels and auxiliary steering wheels. The moving wheels are driven by a drive motor in the receiving cavity, causing the moving wheels to rotate and propel the cleaning robot. The auxiliary steering wheels can be omnidirectional wheels fixed under the chassis. Through the rotation and stopping of the moving wheels, in conjunction with the auxiliary steering wheels, the cleaning robot can be steered.
[0083] The cleaning system may include a sweeping assembly and a mopping assembly. The sweeping assembly includes a roller brush drive, a roller brush, a dustbin, and a blower. The roller brush is connected to the main body of the machine via the roller brush drive. The main body has a suction port located behind the roller brush, and the dustbin is located in the airflow path between the blower and the suction port. The roller brush has some interference with the ground; during rotation, it sweeps up debris from the ground and carries it below the suction port, where it is then drawn into the dustbin by air drawn back towards it by the blower. The mopping assembly may include a mop drive and one or more mops. The mops can rotate to perform dry mopping. In some embodiments, the mopping system also includes a water tank to replenish water to the mops for wet mopping. Because mop heads have a large surface area and are made of soft, absorbent materials such as felt or loops, there is significant friction between the mop and floor coverings like carpets. Furthermore, mop heads retain stains after cleaning, especially after wet mopping, leaving wastewater on them. To prevent friction between the mop and floor coverings from affecting the cleaning robot's movement and to avoid repeated contamination of the floor by a wastewater-laden mop, a lifting function is required. Existing mop drive components consist of a mop rotation drive and a mop lifting drive. The rotation drive connects to the mop and drives its rotation, while the lifting drive connects to the rotation drive and the mop as a whole and drives the overall lifting. This results in two separate drive systems for lifting and rotating the mop, leading to structural redundancy, heavy weight, a heavy driving load on the lifting drive, and a cumbersome control process. This disclosure aims to solve this problem by proposing a cleaning device, equipment, and system that achieves lifting and rotation control of the cleaning component using only a single power component and structural design.
[0084] This disclosure is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0085] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure, and Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cleaning device 100 provided in this disclosure can be applied to the cleaning device 10, which can be a window cleaning robot, a sweeping robot, a mopping robot, a sweeping and mopping robot, etc. When the cleaning device 100 is used on a sweeping robot, the cleaning device 100 can be the mop assembly of the sweeping robot.
[0086] Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure, Figure 4 shows a top view of Figure 3, and Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure along the AA direction in Figure 4. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this disclosure provides a cleaning device 100 that can automatically clean the object being cleaned, eliminating the need for manual cleaning by the user and providing a better user experience. As shown in Figure 5, the cleaning device 100 includes a drive assembly 110, a lifting assembly 120, and a cleaning assembly 130. The drive assembly 110 and the lifting assembly 120 are connected by a drive mechanism, driving the lifting assembly 120 to move. The cleaning assembly 130 is detachably connected to the lifting assembly 120, allowing the drive assembly 110 to drive the cleaning assembly 130 to move through the lifting assembly 120.
[0087] The drive assembly 110 can drive the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate via the lifting assembly 120, enabling the cleaning assembly 130 to clean the working surface of the object being cleaned. The working surface of the object being cleaned can be a hard surface such as the ground or a glass surface, a soft surface such as a carpet, the outer surface of an obstacle, or the surface of other objects. In this disclosed embodiment, the ground is used as an example for illustration.
[0088] When cleaning the object being cleaned, the cleaning component 130 is attached to the surface of the object being cleaned. The drive component 110 drives the cleaning component 130 to rotate through the lifting component 120, so that the cleaning component 130 can clean the object being cleaned during the rotation.
[0089] In other embodiments, the drive component 110 can also drive the cleaning component 130 to rise or fall via the lifting component 120, thereby enabling the cleaning component 130 to be suitable for different cleaning scenarios. For example, when the cleaning component 130 is currently at the first position and a second position needs to be cleaned, the cleaning device 100 needs to move from the first position to the second position. Before or during the movement, the drive component 110 drives the cleaning component 130 to rise via the lifting component 120, allowing the cleaning component 130 to have a certain gap with the ground. After the cleaning device moves to the second position, the drive component 110 drives the cleaning component 130 to fall via the lifting component 120, allowing the cleaning component 130 to contact the ground and clean the ground. This method allows the cleaning component 130 to remain clean during movement, improving the cleaning effect at the second position. Similarly, after the cleaning component 130 has been cleaning for a period of time, it becomes dirty and needs cleaning. At this time, the drive component 110 drives the cleaning component 130 to rise through the lifting component 120, so that the cleaning component 130 is at a certain distance from the ground, avoiding the dirty cleaning component 130 from touching the already cleaned ground and causing secondary pollution. The structure of the drive component 110 is varied. The drive component 110 may include a driver 111 and a transmission component 112. The driver 111 and the lifting component 120 are connected through the transmission component 112. The transmission component 112 is driven by the output end of the driver 111, and then driven by the lifting component 120. The driver 111 drives the transmission component 112 to move, thereby driving the lifting component 120 to move. In some embodiments, the driver 111 may be a motor, an electric telescopic rod, etc., and the transmission component 112 may include a transmission cylinder 1122, a gear 1124, a worm gear 1123, etc.
[0090] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the lifting assembly and drive assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 6, in some embodiments, the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 can be a motor, and the transmission component 112 can include a worm 1123, a gear 1124, and a transmission cylinder 1122. The worm 1123 is fixed on the output shaft of the driver 111, and the worm 1123 meshes with the gear 1124 to form a worm gear pair. The outer peripheral wall of the transmission cylinder 1122 is provided with a gear mating part 11221, and the gear 1124 meshes with the gear mating part 11221. The lifting assembly 120 is partially located inside the transmission cylinder 1122 and meshes with the transmission cylinder 1122. With this design, the rotation of the driver 111 drives the worm 1123 to rotate, the rotation of the worm 1123 drives the gear 1124 to rotate, the rotation of the gear 1124 causes the transmission cylinder 1122 to rotate, and the transmission cylinder 1122 drives the lifting assembly 120 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate. During the rotation of the lifting component 120, it can also move along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122, thereby driving the cleaning component 130 to rise or fall.
[0091] The actuator 111 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The first direction can be either clockwise or counterclockwise. If the first direction is clockwise, then the second direction is counterclockwise; conversely, if the first direction is counterclockwise, then the second direction is clockwise. For ease of description, this disclosure uses the example where rotating the actuator 111 in the first direction causes the lifting assembly 120 to rise, and rotating it in the second direction causes the lifting assembly 120 to fall.
[0092] Of course, in some other embodiments, the drive component 110 may not have a transmission component 112, but only a driver 111. The output end of the driver 111 is directly connected to the lifting component 120 to drive the lifting component 120 to move. As long as it can drive the lifting component 120 to move, it is not limited in this disclosure.
[0093] For example: the driver 111 can be an electric telescopic rod, with the lifting assembly 120 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod. The telescopic rod's extension and retraction drives the lifting assembly 120 to rise and fall, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rise and fall. Alternatively, the driver 111 can be a motor with a gear on its output shaft and a rack on the first sleeve 122. The gear meshes with the rack, and the gear's rotation drives the rack to move linearly, causing the lifting assembly 120 to rise and fall, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rise and fall. Another option is for the driver 111 to be a motor, with the lifting assembly 120 fixedly connected to the motor's output shaft. The lifting assembly 120 and the cleaning assembly 130 are threaded together, and the cleaning assembly 130 is slidably connected to the housing 160 of the cleaning device via a slide rail and a slide groove. The motor drives the lifting assembly 120 to rotate, allowing the cleaning assembly 130 to rise and fall along the length of the slide rail.
[0094] Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the lifting assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 7, in some embodiments, the lifting assembly 120 includes a first sleeve portion 122 and a second sleeve portion 123 fixed to each other. The first sleeve portion 122 is tractively connected to the drive assembly 110; the cleaning assembly 130 is connected to the second sleeve portion 123; the drive assembly 110 can drive the cleaning assembly 130 to rise or fall through the lifting assembly 120. The first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 are fixedly connected. When the drive assembly 110 drives the first sleeve portion 122 to move, the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 will move simultaneously, and the entire cleaning assembly 130 will move.
[0095] The cleaning component 130 is connected to the second sleeve portion 123. Under the action of the drive component 110, the cleaning component 130 will move together with the lifting component 120. With this design, under the action of the drive component 110, the drive component 110 drives the first sleeve portion 122 to move. Since the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 are fixedly connected, the cleaning component 130 can move with the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123, so that the cleaning component 130 can rise or fall, and the distance between the cleaning component 130 and the object being cleaned can be adjusted to meet the cleaning needs.
[0096] After the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 are fixedly connected, there will be no relative movement between the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123. The movement of the lifting component 120 directly drives the movement of the second sleeve portion 123, which in turn drives the movement of the cleaning component 130. In other words, during the process of the drive component 110 driving the cleaning component 130 through the lifting component 120, the drive component 110 and the lifting component 120 are directly transmitted, which simplifies the transmission path and transmission structure.
[0097] It is easy to understand that the more transmission relationships there are, the more resistance needs to be overcome in the transmission process. The transmission between the drive component 110 and the lifting component 120 can drive the cleaning component 130 to move, which can reduce the resistance in the transmission process and improve the transmission efficiency.
[0098] As shown in Figure 7, in some embodiments, the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 are integrally formed. The first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 can be integrally formed by die casting, casting, injection molding, etc., and are not limited in this disclosure. The integral formation of the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 can reduce the processing steps, facilitate the manufacturing of the lifting assembly 120, and also help to ensure the stability of the connection between the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123.
[0099] Figure 8 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure after the lifting assembly, disassembly assembly and transmission cylinder are engaged. As shown in Figure 8, in some embodiments, one of the transmission member 112 and the first sleeve portion 122 has a guide groove 1121 and the other has a guide portion 128, and the guide groove 1121 engages with the guide portion 128.
[0100] In the transmission component 112 and the first sleeve portion 122, one has a guide groove 1121 and the other has a guide portion 128. Alternatively, the guide groove 1121 can be provided on the transmission component 112 and the guide portion 128 on the first sleeve portion 122; or the guide portion 128 can be provided on the first sleeve portion 122 and the guide groove 1121 on the transmission component 112. The guide portion 128 is located within the guide groove 1121, allowing the guide groove 1121 to engage with the guide portion 128. The engagement of the guide groove 1121 and the guide portion 128 guides the movement of the lifting assembly 120. During the movement of the lifting assembly 120 driven by the drive component 110, the guide portion 128 can move along the length of the guide groove 1121, ensuring the stability of the lifting assembly 120's movement. With this design, the driver 111 of the drive component 110 drives the transmission component 112, which in turn drives the first sleeve portion 122, thereby driving the entire lifting assembly 120 to move.
[0101] Figure 9 shows a structural schematic diagram of the transmission cylinder of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure from a first perspective, and Figure 10 shows a structural schematic diagram of the transmission cylinder of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure from a second perspective. As shown in Figures 8, 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the transmission member 112 includes a transmission cylinder 1122, a first sleeve portion 122 is disposed inside the transmission cylinder 1122, and a guide groove 1121 is disposed inside the transmission cylinder 1122, with the guide groove 1121 arranged along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122.
[0102] The guide portion 128 is housed in the first sleeve portion 122 of the lifting assembly 120, and the guide portion 128 is located within the guide groove 1121. With this design, the lifting assembly 120 can move along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122 under the cooperative action of the guide groove 1121 and the guide portion 128.
[0103] Regarding the specific shapes of the guide groove 1121 and the guide portion 128, the guide groove 1121 can be elongated, and the guide portion 128 can also be elongated to fit the shape of the guide groove 1121. The guide groove 1121 and the guide portion 128 can also be other shapes. The shapes of the guide groove 1121 and the guide portion 128 are diverse and are not limited in this disclosure, as long as they can guide and fit together.
[0104] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the transmission cylinder 1122 is provided with multiple guide grooves 1121. The guide grooves 1121 are strip-shaped grooves, and their length direction is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122. The outer peripheral wall of the first sleeve portion 122 is provided with multiple guide portions 128. The number of guide portions 128 and guide grooves 1121 may be the same or different. The multiple guide portions 128 are located in each guide groove 1121. The arrangement of multiple guide portions 128 and multiple guide grooves 1121 helps to improve the stability of the lifting assembly 120 during the lifting process.
[0105] Figure 11 shows a first-view structural schematic diagram of the guide member of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 12 shows a second-view structural schematic diagram of the guide member of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure; Figure 13 shows a structural schematic diagram of the lifting assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0106] As shown in Figures 11 and 12, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a guide member 170. The guide member 170 is provided with a first guide portion 171, as shown in Figure 13. The second sleeve portion 123 is provided with a second guide portion 124 that cooperates with the first guide portion 171. Under the action of the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124, the guide member 170 and the second sleeve 123 are guided and cooperated together, and the second sleeve 123 can move relative to the guide member 170.
[0107] In some embodiments, at least one of the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124 is threaded along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122. The first guide portion 171 may be threaded along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122; the second guide portion 124 may be threaded along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122; or both the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124 may be threaded along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122.
[0108] With this design, the second sleeve portion 123 and the guide member 170 are threaded together under the action of the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124. When the guide member 170 is fixed, the driver 111 in the drive assembly 110 drives the transmission cylinder 1122 to rotate. Since the transmission cylinder 1122 and the first sleeve portion 122 are engaged with the guide portion 128 through the guide groove 1121, the transmission cylinder 1122 will drive the first sleeve portion 122 to rotate, and the lifting assembly 120 will rotate as a whole. Since the guide member 170 is fixed and the guide member 170 and the second sleeve portion 123 are threaded together, the lifting assembly 120 will also slide along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122 under the action of the guide groove 1121 and the guide portion 128 while rotating, so that the lifting assembly 120 rises or falls while rotating, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rise or fall.
[0109] For ease of description, it can be defined that when the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the second direction, the lifting assembly 120 descends; when the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the first direction, the lifting assembly 120 rises.
[0110] Figure 14 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure after the stop and the first guide are engaged. Figure 15 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure after the stop and the first guide are engaged. As shown in Figures 14 and 15, in some embodiments, there are three second guides 124. Each second guide 124 is strip-shaped and threaded along the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122. The three second guides 124 form three threaded guide grooves after being threaded. As shown in Figure 12, there are three first guides 171. The three first guides 171 are respectively located in the three threaded guide grooves formed by the second guides 124, so that the second sleeve 123 and the guide 170 are threadedly engaged.
[0111] During the rotation of the driver 111 in the second direction, the driver 111 will drive the lifting assembly 120 to rotate. Since at least one of the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124 is threaded, during the rotation of the lifting assembly 120, the lifting assembly 120 can move downward with the cooperation of the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124, that is, it can drive the cleaning assembly 130 to descend.
[0112] Similarly, during the rotation of the driver 111 in the first direction, the driver 111 will drive the lifting assembly 120 to rotate. Since at least one of the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124 is threaded, during the rotation of the lifting assembly 120, the lifting assembly 120 can move upward with the cooperation of the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124, that is, it can drive the cleaning assembly 130 to rise.
[0113] In other words, the rising or falling of the lifting assembly 120 is related to the rotation direction of the first guide and the second guide, as well as the rotation direction of the driver 111.
[0114] As shown in Figures 14 and 15, in some embodiments, the first guide portion 171 is provided with a retaining portion 1711, and the second guide portion 124 is provided with a stopping portion 1241. The retaining portion 1711 and the stopping portion 1241 cooperate with each other. The retaining portion 1711 and the stopping portion 1241 engage in a retaining cooperation, etc.
[0115] When the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 engage, the first guide part 171 and the second guide part 124 can no longer move relative to each other. In some embodiments, during the process of the drive assembly 110 driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rise or fall through the lifting assembly 120, the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 can engage with each other to block the second sleeve part 123 from rising or falling.
[0116] In some embodiments, during the process of the drive assembly 110 driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rise or fall via the lifting assembly 120, the locking part 1711 and the stop part 1241 can lock in place. Through the setting of the locking part 1711 and the stop part 1241, when the second sleeve part 123 rises to a certain distance, the locking part 1711 and the stop part 1241 lock in place, preventing the second sleeve part 123 from continuing to rise, thereby limiting the maximum rising distance of the second sleeve part 123; or, through the setting of the locking part 1711 and the stop part 1241, when the second sleeve part 123 falls to a certain distance, the locking part 1711 and the stop part 1241 lock in place, preventing the second sleeve part 123 from continuing to fall, thereby limiting the maximum falling distance of the second sleeve part 123.
[0117] In other words, the second sleeve portion 123 cannot continue to rise or fall along the guide member 170. Without the action of the holding portion 1711 and the stop portion 1241, when the second sleeve portion 123 rises or falls to a certain distance, the first guide portion 171 and the second guide portion 124 will disengage, and the second sleeve portion 123 will detach from the guide member 170.
[0118] Whether the cooperation between the stop part 1241 and the retaining part 1711 blocks the rise or fall of the second sleeve part 123 depends on the position of the stop part 1241 in the second guide part 124 and the position of the retaining part 1711 in the first guide part 171.
[0119] In some embodiments: when the holding part 1711 is located below the first guide part 171, that is, when the stop part 1241 is located at the bottom of the threaded guide groove, as the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the first direction, the entire lifting assembly 120 gradually rises, and the holding part 1711 gradually approaches the stop part 1241. When the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 come into contact, the lifting assembly 120 will not be able to continue to rotate and rise relative to the guide part 170 due to the resistance of the entire guide part 170.
[0120] Figure 16 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure after the stop and the first guide are engaged. Similarly, when the holding part 1711 is disposed above the first guide 171, that is, when the stop part 1241 is disposed at the top of the threaded guide groove, as the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the second direction, the lifting assembly 120 gradually descends, and the holding part 1711 gradually approaches the stop part 1241. When the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 come into contact, as shown in Figure 16, the lifting assembly 120 will no longer be able to rotate relative to the guide 170 and descend.
[0121] In other words, in this disclosed embodiment, the guide member 170 and the lifting assembly 120 can move relative to each other and also move synchronously. That is, when the lifting assembly 120 drives the cleaning assembly 130 to rise or fall, the guide member 170 remains stationary and only serves as a guide. When the lifting assembly 120 drives the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate, the guide member needs to rotate synchronously with the lifting assembly 120 to prevent the lifting assembly 120 from rising or falling. The connection structure of the guide member 170 will be described in detail below.
[0122] Figure 17 shows an enlarged view of point A in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 17, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a housing 160 and a connector 180, with the guide 170 optionally fixedly connected to the housing 160 through the connector 180.
[0123] The guide member 170 can be selectively fixed to the housing 160 via the connector 180, meaning that the guide member 170 and the housing 160 can be fixed relative to each other, so that the guide member 170 remains stationary relative to the housing 160, allowing the lifting assembly 120 to rotate relative to the guide member 170; or the guide member 170 can be movable relative to the housing 160, allowing the guide member 170 to rotate relative to the housing 160, so that the guide member 170 can rotate synchronously with the lifting assembly 120.
[0124] When the guide 170 is fixed to the housing 160, the lifting assembly 120 will rotate relative to the guide 170 under the drive of the drive assembly 110. Under the action of the guide 170, the lifting assembly 120 will not only rotate, but also rise or fall along the guide 170.
[0125] When the guide 170 is not fixed to the housing 160, the lifting component 120 will rotate synchronously with the guide 170 under the drive of the drive component 110. The lifting component 120 will not rotate relative to the guide 170. The lifting component 120 will not rise or fall when it rotates, that is, the lifting component 120 only rotates.
[0126] With this design, the guide 170 can be fixed or not fixed according to the actual situation, so that the lifting assembly 120 can rotate and rise or fall, or the lifting assembly can only rotate without rising or falling.
[0127] As the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the second direction, the lifting assembly 120 gradually descends until the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 abut. After the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 abut, the lifting assembly 120 can no longer rotate relative to the guide member 170 and descend. At this time, the lifting assembly 120 and the guide member 170 rotate synchronously. As the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the first direction, the lifting assembly 120 gradually rises until the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 abut. After the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 abut, the lifting assembly 120 can no longer rotate relative to the guide member 170 and rise. The lifting assembly 120 and the guide member 170 rotate synchronously.
[0128] Figure 18 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure after the guide and connector are engaged. Figure 19 shows a cross-sectional view of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure after the guide and connector are engaged. As shown in Figures 17, 18, and 19, in some embodiments, the connector 180 includes a first friction part 181 and a second friction part 182, and the guide 170 has a fixing part 172, which is disposed between the first friction part 181 and the second friction part 182. Through the arrangement of the first friction part 181 and the second friction part 182, a certain amount of frictional force is applied to the fixing part 172.
[0129] When the force between the stop portion 1241 and the holding portion 1711 is greater than the frictional force between the fixing portion 172 and the first friction portion 181 and the second friction portion 182, the guide member 170 rotates with the second sleeve portion 123.
[0130] The first friction part 181 and the second friction part 182 are both mounted on the housing 160. The fixing part 172 of the guide member 170 is located between the first friction part 181 and the second friction part 182, and is in contact with the first friction part 181 and the second friction part 182. The force applied by the lifting assembly 120 to the guide member 170 is greater than the frictional force on the guide member 170, so that the guide member 170 can rotate together with the lifting assembly 120. As shown in FIG17, in some embodiments, the first friction part 181 is located above the fixing part 172. Under the action of the housing 160, the first friction part 181 is limited above the fixing part 172, and the second friction part 182 is located below the fixing part 172. The left end of the second friction part 182 is engaged with the housing 160.
[0131] When the drive assembly 110 drives the lifting assembly 120 to rotate, and the holding part 1711 of the guide member 170 and the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120 do not abut against each other, the cleaning assembly 130, the transition member 141 and the ejector member 142 rise or fall synchronously. At this time, the force applied by the lifting assembly 120 to the guide member 170 is insufficient to drive the guide member 170 to overcome the friction and rotate with the lifting assembly 120. Therefore, the lifting assembly 120 rises or falls under the action of the guide member 170.
[0132] When the drive assembly 110 rotates in the first or second direction, the holding part 1711 of the guide 170 and the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120 abut against each other, and the force exerted by the lifting assembly 120 on the guide 170 increases. The force exerted by the lifting assembly 120 on the guide 170 is greater than the frictional force on the guide 170, so that the guide 170 can overcome the frictional force it receives and rotate. The lifting assembly 120 and the guide 170 will no longer rotate relative to each other. Therefore, the guide 170 and the lifting assembly 120 rotate synchronously, and the lifting assembly 120 will no longer continue to rise or fall.
[0133] In some embodiments, the connector 180 further includes an elastic element 183, which is disposed between the housing 160 and the first friction part 181, and / or between the housing 160 and the second friction part 182.
[0134] The elastic element 183 can be provided only between the housing 160 and the first friction part 181, or only between the housing 160 and the second friction part 182, or simultaneously between the housing 160 and the first friction part 181 and between the housing 160 and the second friction part 182.
[0135] The elastic element 183 is always in a compressed state. When the elastic element 183 is disposed between the housing 160 and the first friction part 181, the elastic element 183 provides the first friction part 181 with a thrust toward the second friction part 182, so that the first friction part 181 can always abut against the fixed part 172 of the guide 170, so that the fixed part 172 of the guide 170 is subjected to a continuous and stable frictional force, so that the transition part 141, the ejector part 142 and the lifting assembly 120 can rise synchronously when the guide 170 remains stationary; so that after the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120 and the holding part 1711 of the guide 170 abut against each other, the guide 170 can rotate together with the lifting assembly 120.
[0136] If the elastic element 183 is disposed between the housing 160 and the first friction part 181, when the lifting assembly 120 rises, after the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120 and the locking part 1711 of the guide 170 abut against each other, the lifting assembly 120 still has the tendency to continue rising due to inertia and cannot stop rising immediately. This will cause the guide 170 to collide with the housing 160, which may result in damage to the guide 170, the lifting assembly 120, or the housing 160. However, the elastic element 183 can buffer the guide 170 and the lifting assembly 120 to a certain extent, reducing the impact force of the guide 170 and the lifting assembly 120 on the housing 160, and providing protection for the guide 170, the lifting assembly 120, and the housing 160 to a certain extent.
[0137] When the elastic member 183 is disposed between the housing 160 and the second friction part 182, the elastic member 183 provides the second friction part 182 with a thrust toward the first friction part 181, so that the second friction part 182 can always abut against the fixed part 172 of the guide member 170, so that the fixed part 172 of the guide member 170 is subjected to a continuous and stable frictional force, so that the transition member 141, the ejector 142 and the lifting assembly 120 can rise synchronously when the guide member 170 is stationary; so that after the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120 and the holding part 1711 of the guide member 170 abut against each other, the guide member 170 can rotate together with the lifting assembly 120.
[0138] If the elastic element 183 is disposed between the housing 160 and the second friction part 182, when the lifting assembly 120 is in motion, after the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120 and the locking part 1711 of the guide member 170 abut against each other, the lifting assembly 120 will still have a tendency to continue descending due to inertia and will not stop descending immediately. This will cause the guide member 170 to collide with the housing 160, which may result in damage to the guide member 170, the lifting assembly 120, or the housing 160. However, the elastic element 183 can buffer the guide member 170 and the lifting assembly 120 to a certain extent, reducing the impact force of the guide member 170 and the lifting assembly 120 on the housing 160, and providing protection for the guide member 170, the lifting assembly 120, and the housing 160 to a certain extent.
[0139] Figure 20 shows an enlarged view of point B in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 20, in some embodiments, the lifting assembly 120 further includes a connecting cylinder 126 and a mounting part 127 connected to each other. The connecting cylinder 126 is sleeved outside the second sleeve part 123, and the guide member 170 is disposed between the second sleeve part 123 and the connecting cylinder 126.
[0140] With this design, the connecting cylinder 126 and the second sleeve portion 123 are fixedly connected through the mounting portion 127. The connecting cylinder 126 is sleeved outside the second sleeve portion 123, and the guide member 170 is located between the second sleeve portion 123 and the connecting cylinder 126, and cooperates with the second sleeve portion 123.
[0141] The connecting cylinder 126 is positioned between the connecting cylinder 126 and the second sleeve portion 123, providing protection for the guide member 170. When the connecting cylinder 126 and the second sleeve portion 123 are engaged, the guide member 170 can be limited, ensuring a continuous and stable engagement between the connecting cylinder 126 and the second sleeve portion 123, which helps improve the stability of the lifting assembly 120 during the lifting process.
[0142] In some embodiments, the first sleeve portion 122, the second sleeve portion 123, the mounting portion 127, and the connecting sleeve 126 are integrally formed.
[0143] The components can be integrally die-cast or injection molded. Integral molding of the first sleeve portion 122, the second sleeve portion 123, the mounting portion 127, and the connecting sleeve 126 facilitates the processing of the lifting assembly 120 and helps ensure the stability of the connection between them. In some embodiments, the first sleeve portion 122 and the second sleeve portion 123 form a mounting sleeve 121. The mounting sleeve 121 and the connecting sleeve 126 are integrally molded. The mounting sleeve 121 and the connecting sleeve 126 can be integrally die-cast or injection molded; integral molding of the mounting sleeve 121 and the connecting sleeve 126 also helps ensure the stability of the connection between them.
[0144] In this disclosed embodiment, the drive component 110 can drive the cleaning component 130 to rise, fall, and rotate via the lifting component 120, thereby adapting to different cleaning scenarios.
[0145] In some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a disassembly assembly 140 connected to the lifting assembly 120, which enables the cleaning assembly 130 to be separated from the lifting assembly 120. The cleaning assembly 130 is automatically disassembled via the disassembly assembly 140, making it convenient for the user.
[0146] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 130 is detachably connected to the lifting component 120. The cleaning component 130 is mainly used to clean the floor and other objects to be cleaned. After cleaning for a period of time, the cleaning component 130 needs to be cleaned or replaced. Alternatively, in scenarios where the cleaning component 130 is not suitable for use, it is necessary to remove the cleaning component 130 for operation. The detachable connection between the cleaning component 130 and the lifting component 120 facilitates the replacement of the cleaning component 130.
[0147] The disassembly assembly 140 is connected to the lifting assembly 120, allowing the disassembly assembly 140 to move together with the lifting assembly 120, thereby separating the cleaning assembly 130 from the lifting assembly 120. The structure of the disassembly assembly 140 is varied and is not limited in this disclosure.
[0148] Figure 21 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the disassembly assembly and the lifting assembly in the cleaning device provided by one or more embodiments of this disclosure after they are engaged. As shown in Figure 21, in some embodiments, the disassembly assembly 140 includes a transition member 141 and an ejector member 142 movably connected to the transition member 141. The transition member 141 is connected to the lifting assembly 120, and the ejector member 142 enables the cleaning assembly 130 and the lifting assembly 120 to be separated. The movable connection between the transition member 141 and the ejector member 142 means that the transition member 141 and the ejector member 142 can move relative to each other. The relative movement can be rotation, movement, or sliding. If the transition member 141 and the ejector member 142 rotate relative to each other, the ejector member 142 can rotate while the transition member 141 is fixed, the transition member 141 can rotate while the ejector member 142 is fixed, or both the ejector member 142 and the transition member 141 can rotate with a speed difference.
[0149] In some embodiments, during the process of the drive assembly 110 driving the cleaning assembly 130 to move through the lifting assembly 120, the ejector 142 can rotate relative to the transition member 141 with the lifting assembly 120 and move towards the cleaning assembly 130, so that the cleaning assembly 130 is separated from the lifting assembly 120.
[0150] During the process of the drive assembly 110 driving the cleaning assembly 130 to move through the lifting assembly 120, the ejector 142 can rotate with the lifting assembly 120 relative to the transition member 141 and move towards the cleaning assembly 130, thereby applying force to the cleaning assembly 130 so that the cleaning assembly 130 can separate from the lifting assembly 120 and be detached from the lifting assembly 120.
[0151] In this disclosed embodiment, the drive component 110 can drive the cleaning component 130 to rise, fall, and rotate through the lifting component 120, and can also drive the disassembly component to move through the lifting component 120 to disassemble the cleaning component 130 from the lifting component 120. The functions of rising, falling, rotating, and disassembly can be integrated through the same drive component 110 and the lifting component 120. That is, multiple functions such as lifting, rotating, and disassembly can be integrated through the same drive system, making the overall structure more compact and centralized.
[0152] In some embodiments, during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the drive assembly 110 can drive the lifting assembly 120 to rotate, and the transition member 141 is fixed, so that the ejector 142 moves relative to the transition member 141 toward the cleaning assembly 130.
[0153] During the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the transition member 141 can be fixed, allowing the ejector member 142 to rotate relative to the transition member 141, thereby causing the transition member 141 to move toward the cleaning assembly 130 to eject the cleaning assembly 130.
[0154] Figure 22 shows an enlarged view of point C in Figure 5, and Figure 23 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure after the first locking part of the housing and the second locking part of the transition member are separated. As shown in Figures 22 and 23, the method of fixing the transition member 141 can be that the housing 160 is provided with the first locking part 161, and the transition member 141 is provided with the second locking part 1412 that can cooperate with the first locking part 161. The first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 can be engaged by snap-fit or by adsorption, etc. When the first locking part 161 on the housing 160 and the second locking part 1412 on the transition member 141 are engaged, the transition member 141 will be fixed and will not be able to continue to rotate with the lifting assembly 120.
[0155] In some embodiments, during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 can engage to fix the transition member 141.
[0156] The first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 can engage in a locking manner, meaning that the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 can engage or not engage.
[0157] When the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 are engaged, the transition member 141 is fixed and will not rotate with the lifting assembly 120 and the ejector 142.
[0158] When the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 are not engaged, the transition member 141 and the ejector member 142 can rotate and rise and fall together with the lifting assembly 120 and the ejector member 142. Specifically, during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the lifting assembly 120 drives the cleaning assembly 130 to rise, and the disassembly assembly 140 rises synchronously with the lifting assembly 120; during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the second direction, the lifting assembly 120 drives the cleaning assembly 130 to fall, and the disassembly assembly 140 falls synchronously with the lifting assembly 120.
[0159] The first locking part 161 is disposed on the top of the housing 160. During the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, it can drive the lifting assembly 120 to rise. Since the transition part 141 and the ejector part 142 are both installed inside the first sleeve part 122, the transition part 141 and the ejector part 142 rise with the lifting assembly 120. The transition part 141 moves towards the top of the housing 160, that is, the second locking part 1412 moves towards the first locking part 161 until the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 engage, thus fixing the transition part 141. When the drive assembly 110 continues to rotate in the first direction, since the transition part 141 engages with the housing 160, the transition part 141 no longer rotates with the lifting assembly 120, while the ejector part 142 continues to rotate with the lifting assembly 120, thereby allowing relative movement between the ejector part 142 and the transition part 141.
[0160] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG23, during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the second direction, the first locking part 161 can be separated from the second locking part 1412; the first direction and the second direction are opposite.
[0161] As the drive assembly 110 rotates in the second direction, it will drive the lifting assembly 120 to descend. Since the transition piece 141 is installed inside the first sleeve portion 122, the transition piece 141 will descend with the lifting assembly 120, allowing the second locking portion 1412 to move away from the first locking portion 161, thereby separating the first locking portion 161 from the second locking portion 1412. At this time, the transition piece 141 can continue to rotate with the lifting assembly 120.
[0162] Figure 24 shows a structural schematic diagram of the housing and transition member of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure, and Figure 25 shows a structural schematic diagram of the disassembly assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure. The structures of the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 are varied and are not limited in this disclosure. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 24 and 25, the second locking part 1412 on the transition member 141 is a plurality of circumferentially spaced first wedge-shaped teeth, and the first locking part 161 on the housing 160 is a plurality of circumferentially spaced second wedge-shaped teeth. Since both teeth are wedge-shaped, when the drive assembly 110 rotates in the second direction, the first wedge-shaped teeth and the second wedge-shaped teeth can engage with each other, and when the drive assembly 110 rotates in the first direction, the first wedge-shaped teeth and the second wedge-shaped teeth can disengage.
[0163] Figure 26 shows a cross-sectional view of the disassembly assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 26, regarding the specific connection structure of the ejector 142 and the transition member 141, in some embodiments, one of the ejector 142 and the transition member 141 may be provided with a threaded groove 1411 and the other may be provided with a threaded portion 1421, with the threaded portion 1421 disposed within the threaded groove 1411.
[0164] In the ejector 142 and the transition member 141, one is provided with a threaded groove 1411 and the other is provided with a threaded portion 1421. Alternatively, the ejector 142 may have the threaded groove 1411 and the transition member 141 may have the threaded portion 1421; or the ejector 142 may have the threaded portion 1421 and the transition member 141 may have the threaded groove 1411. As shown in FIG26, in some embodiments, the threaded groove 1411 is provided internally on the transition member 141, and the threaded portion 1421 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ejector 142.
[0165] With this design, the ejector 142 and the transition piece 141 are threaded together, and the ejector 142 and the transition piece 141 can rotate relative to each other. When the transition piece 141 is fixed, the ejector 142 can rotate relative to the transition piece 141 and rise or fall along the axial direction of the transition piece 141, thereby moving towards or away from the cleaning assembly 130. When the ejector 142 does not rotate, the transition piece 141 can rotate relative to the ejector 142, and can also drive the ejector 142 to rise or fall along the axial direction of the transition piece 141.
[0166] When the ejector 142 rotates relative to the transition member 141, the ejector 142 not only rotates but also moves up and down along the axial direction of the transition member 141. When the transition member 141 rotates, the ejector 142 may not rotate, but it will still move up and down along the axial direction of the transition member 141. The drive assembly 110 drives the lifting assembly 120 to move, and the lifting assembly 120 drives the cleaning assembly 130 to move. Since the ejector 142 is connected to the lifting assembly 120, the ejector 142 can rotate with the lifting assembly 120 relative to the transition member 141. While rotating relative to the transition member 141, the ejector 142 will move along the axial direction of the transition member 141 toward the cleaning assembly 130, pushing the cleaning assembly 130 so that the cleaning assembly 130 and the lifting assembly 120 are separated, allowing the cleaning assembly 130 to be detached from the lifting assembly 120.
[0167] With this design, the cleaning device 100 disclosed herein can move the ejector 142 via the lifting assembly 120, so that the cleaning assembly 130 can be separated from the lifting assembly 120, and the cleaning assembly 130 can be automatically removed from the lifting assembly 120, making it convenient for users to clean and replace the cleaning assembly 130.
[0168] Figure 27 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, in which the disassembly assembly is installed in the first sleeve portion and the cleaning assembly is detachably connected to the second sleeve portion. As shown in Figure 27, in some embodiments, the transition member 141 and the ejector member 142 are installed in the first sleeve portion 122, the cleaning assembly 130 is detachably connected to the second sleeve portion 123, and the drive assembly 110 is drivenly connected to the first sleeve portion 122 or the second sleeve portion 123.
[0169] The drive assembly 110 can be driven to rotate simultaneously by either the first sleeve portion 122 or the second sleeve portion 123, thus driving the entire lifting assembly 120 to rotate. The transition member 141 and the ejector member 142 are installed within the first sleeve portion 122. In some embodiments, the transition member 141 is always located within the first sleeve portion 122 and can rotate within it; the ejector member 142 is partially or entirely located within the first sleeve portion 122 and connected to the transition member 141.
[0170] Figure 28 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, in which the ejector extends into the second sleeve portion. As shown in Figure 28, in some embodiments, during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the ejector 142 can rotate with the first sleeve portion 122 relative to the transition member 141 and can extend from the first sleeve portion 122 into the second sleeve portion, so that the cleaning assembly 130 is separated from the lifting assembly 120.
[0171] The cleaning component 130 and the second sleeve portion 123 are detachably connected. When the drive component 110 rotates in the first direction, the ejector 142 rotates relative to the transition member 141 and moves toward the cleaning component 130. Its end gradually extends out of the first sleeve 122, so that the second sleeve portion of the cleaning component 130 is separated from the lifting component 120.
[0172] Figure 29 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning component of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 28 and 29, the detachable connection between the cleaning component 130 and the lifting component 120 can be such that the cleaning component 130 includes a cleaning element 131 and a first magnet part 132 mounted on the cleaning element 131, and the lifting component 120 includes a second magnet part 129. The first magnet part 132 and the second magnet part 129 can be fixedly connected.
[0173] The second magnet portion 129 can be disposed within the second sleeve portion 123. The cleaning component 131 is used to clean the object to be cleaned, and the first magnet portion 132 is fixedly mounted on the cleaning component 131. When the first magnet portion 132 of the cleaning component 131 and the second magnet portion 129 of the lifting assembly 120 approach each other, the first magnet portion 132 and the second magnet portion 129 attract each other and are fixed together, so that the cleaning assembly 130 is detachably connected to the lifting assembly 120.
[0174] In some embodiments, both the first magnet portion 132 and the second magnet portion 129 can be magnets. If both the first magnet portion 132 and the second magnet portion 129 are magnets, the magnetic poles of the side of the first magnet portion 132 facing the second magnet portion 129 and the side of the second magnet portion 129 facing the first magnet portion 132 are opposite, one being the magnetic north pole (N) and the other being the magnetic south pole (S), so that the first magnet portion 132 and the second magnet portion 129 attract and adhere to each other. In the first magnet portion 132 and the second magnet portion 129, one of them can be a magnet, and the other can be made of a material that can be attracted by a magnet, such as iron, nickel, or cobalt.
[0175] The cleaning component 130 and the lifting component 120 are detachably connected via the first magnet 132 and the second magnet 129. When the cleaning device 100 is cleaning, the first magnet 132 and the second magnet 129 are attracted to each other, the cleaning component 130 is connected to the lifting component 120, the driving component 110 drives the lifting component 120 to move, and the lifting component 120 then drives the cleaning component 130 to move, thereby enabling the cleaning component 130 to clean the object being cleaned.
[0176] When the cleaning component 130 needs to be removed, the drive component 110 drives the ejector 142 to rotate through the lifting component 120 and move towards the cleaning component 130, so that the ejector 142 gradually extends into the second sleeve portion 123. After the ejector 142 extends into the second sleeve portion 123, it will abut against the first magnet portion 132. As the ejector 142 extends in, the pushing force on the first magnet portion 132 will be greater than the attraction force between the first magnet portion 132 and the second magnet portion 129, so that the first magnet portion 132 and the second magnet portion 129 gradually separate, thereby separating the cleaning component 130 from the lifting component 120.
[0177] The cleaning assembly 130 is fixed and disassembled by the adsorption force between the first magnet 132 and the second magnet 129. When fixed, the stability between the cleaning assembly 130 and the lifting assembly 120 can be improved. When the force applied by the ejector 142 is greater than the adsorption force between the first magnet 132 and the second magnet 129, the cleaning assembly 130 can be easily separated from the lifting assembly 120. This method can facilitate the installation and removal of the cleaning assembly 130 from the lifting assembly 120.
[0178] In other embodiments, the cleaning component 130 and the lifting component 120 can also be detachably connected by snap-fitting, adhesive bonding, or other means.
[0179] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 131 includes a support base and a cleaning cloth, cleaning scraper, cleaning brush, etc., mounted on the support base, which can clean the object to be cleaned. The connection between the cleaning cloth and the support base can be detachable, so that the cleaning cloth can be removed from the support base for easy cleaning.
[0180] Figure 30 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure, in which the reset member is disposed between the second holding portion and the transition member. As shown in Figure 30, in some embodiments, a first holding portion 1221 and a second holding portion 1222 are disposed at a distance from each other within the first sleeve portion 122, and a transition member 141 is disposed between the first holding portion 1221 and the second holding portion 1222. Under the action of the first holding portion 1221 and the second holding portion 1222, the transition member 141 is located within the first sleeve portion 122.
[0181] In some embodiments, the first retaining portion 1221 and the second retaining portion 1222 can be a protrusion, a groove, or the like. Under the action of the first retaining portion 1221 and the second retaining portion 1222, the transition member 141 is limited within the first sleeve portion 122, which can prevent the transition member 141 from coming out of the first sleeve portion 122, so that the transition member 141 can always be within the first sleeve portion 122.
[0182] In some embodiments, the first sleeve portion 122 is provided with a connection hole 1223 for the ejector 142 to extend into the second sleeve portion 123. The ejector 142 extends into the second sleeve portion 123 through the connection hole 1223 to remove the cleaning assembly 130.
[0183] In some embodiments, in the first holding portion 1221 and the second holding portion 1222, the second holding portion 1222 is disposed near the second sleeve portion 123, and the connecting hole 1223 is disposed in the second holding portion 1222.
[0184] The second magnet part 129 can be installed on the second holding part 1222. The connecting hole 1223 is a through hole that connects the first sleeve part 122 and the second sleeve part 123. The ejector 142 passes through the connecting hole 1223 and extends into the second sleeve part 123.
[0185] As shown in Figure 30, the first holding part 1221 is located above the transition member 141, and the second holding part 1222 is located below the transition member 141.
[0186] It should be noted that Figure 31 shows a top view of Figure 13. As shown in Figure 31, the cross-section of the connecting hole 1223 is non-circular, such as rectangular or trapezoidal. The cross-sectional shape of the section of the ejector 142 that mates with the connecting hole 1223 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the connecting hole 1223 so that the ejector 142 can rotate synchronously with the lifting assembly 120.
[0187] Figure 32 shows a structural schematic diagram of the transition member of the disassembly assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, and Figure 33 shows a structural schematic diagram of the ejector member of the disassembly assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figures 32 and 33, in some embodiments, the ejector member 142 is provided with a threaded portion 1421 that is threadedly engaged with the threaded groove 1411 of the transition member 141; a portion of the ejector member 142 is located in the connecting hole 1223, the cross-section of the connecting hole 1223 is waist-shaped, and the lower half of the ejector member 142 is located in the connecting hole 1223, and the cross-section of the lower half of the ejector member 142 is also waist-shaped.
[0188] After the transition piece 141 engages with the housing 160, the transition piece 141 is fixed and cannot rotate, allowing the ejector piece 142 to rotate relative to the transition piece 141 under the drive of the lifting assembly 120. Because the engagement of the threaded groove 1411 and the threaded portion 1421 allows the transition piece 141 to move downwards (i.e., towards the cleaning assembly 130), and because the connecting hole 1223 and the part where the ejector piece 142 engages are both oblong holes (i.e., the ejector piece 142 will not rotate relative to the lifting assembly 120, but will only move downwards relative to it), this design allows the ejector piece 142 to rotate synchronously with the lifting assembly 120. The ejector piece 142 rotates relative to the transition piece 141 and moves towards the cleaning assembly 130, extending through the connecting hole 1223 into the first sleeve 122 to push out the cleaning assembly 130.
[0189] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG34, the cleaning device 100 further includes a reset member 150, which is disposed between the second holding portion 1222 and the transition member 141 or the ejector member 142.
[0190] The reset member 150 can provide a restoring force to the ejector member 142 to return it to the first sleeve portion 122. The reset member 150 can apply force to the ejector member 142, causing it to rotate relative to the transition member 141 and move away from the cleaning assembly 130, thereby returning the ejector member to the first sleeve portion 122. Alternatively, the reset member 150 can apply force to the transition member 141, causing it to rotate, thereby moving the ejector member 142 away from the cleaning assembly 130, and thus returning the ejector member to the first sleeve portion 122. After the ejector member 142 returns to the first sleeve portion 122, the cleaning assembly 130 can be mounted on the second sleeve portion 123.
[0191] As shown in Figure 34, if the reset member 150 is disposed between the second holding part 1222 and the transition member 141, the reset member 150 applies force to the transition member 141, causing the transition member 141 to rotate, thereby causing the ejector 142 to move away from the cleaning component 130, and then causing the ejector 142 to return to the first sleeve part 122.
[0192] In these embodiments, the reset member 150 can be a torsion spring, with its upper end fixedly connected to the transition member 141 and its lower end fixedly connected to the second holding part 1222. During the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the lifting assembly 120 and the ejector 142 rotate synchronously. The second locking part 1412 of the transition member 141 will engage with the first locking part 161, fixing the transition member 141 so that it cannot rotate with the lifting assembly 120. At this time, the drive assembly 110 continues to rotate in the first direction, and the ejector 142 will rotate relative to the transition member 141 and move towards the cleaning assembly 130 to eject the cleaning assembly 130. During this process, since the transition member 141 is fixed and the second holding part 1222 rotates, the reset member 150 will twist and store force. During the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the second direction, the lifting assembly 120, the ejector 142, and the transition member 141 descend synchronously. Once the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 disengage, the transition member 141 disengages from its fixed position, and the reset member 150 rotates in the opposite direction to return to its state before deformation. During this process, the reset member 150 will drive the transition member 141 to rotate together, thereby driving the ejector 142 to move away from the cleaning assembly 130 so that the ejector 142 is reset.
[0193] Figure 34 shows a structural schematic diagram of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, in which the reset member is disposed between the second holding part and the ejector. Figure 35 shows a force schematic diagram of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, in which the reset member is disposed between the second holding part and the ejector, during the reset process of the ejector. As shown in Figures 34 and 35, if the reset member 150' is disposed between the second holding part 1222 and the ejector 142', the reset member 150' applies force to the ejector 142', causing the ejector 142' to rotate and move in a direction away from the cleaning assembly 130, thereby causing the ejector 142' to return to the first sleeve part 122.
[0194] In these embodiments, the reset member 150' can be a compression spring, with the side of the compression spring away from the cleaning component 130 abutting against the ejector 142', and the side of the compression spring near the cleaning component 130 abutting against the second holding part 1222. During the rotation of the drive component 110 in the first direction, the lifting component 120 and the ejector 140' rotate synchronously, and the second locking part 1412 of the transition member 141' will engage with the first locking part 161, fixing the transition member 141' and preventing it from rotating with the lifting component 120; at this time, the drive component 110 continues to rotate in the first direction, and the ejector 142' will rotate relative to the transition member 141' and move towards the cleaning component 130 to eject the cleaning component 130. During this process, since the side of the compression spring away from the cleaning component 130 abuts against the ejector 142', and the side of the compression spring near the cleaning component 130 abuts against the second holding part 1222, the compression spring will be compressed.
[0195] When the drive assembly 110 stops rotating, the ejector 142' will not rotate relative to the transition member 141' or move towards the cleaning assembly 130. The compression spring stops compressing and applies an upward elastic force to the ejector 142'. Since the ejector 142' and the transition member 141' are engaged through the threaded groove 1411' and the threaded portion 1421', under the action of the compression spring, the threaded portion 1421' will contact the top surface of the threaded groove 1411'. The elastic force applied by the compression spring to the ejector 142' can be decomposed into a first force perpendicular to the top surface of the threaded groove 1411' and an upward force along the helical direction of the threaded groove 1411'. Under the action of the second force, the ejector 142' will rotate along the helical direction and move away from the cleaning assembly 130 to reset the ejector 142'.
[0196] After the reset component 150 is set, the ejector component 142 can automatically reset, making the reset faster and more convenient for users to use the cleaning device 100 disclosed herein.
[0197] Figure 36 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure, in which the reset member is disposed between the second holding part and the ejector member, and the ejector member is connected to the reset member. As shown in Figure 36, in some embodiments, the ejector member 142' includes a fixedly connected limiting part 1422' and an ejector part 1423'. The limiting part 1422' is located on the side of the ejector part 1423' away from the cleaning assembly 130. The threaded part 1421' of the ejector member 142' is provided on the limiting part 1422'. A compression spring is sleeved on the ejector part 1423', and the side of the compression spring away from the cleaning assembly 130 abuts against the end face of the limiting part 1422' facing the cleaning assembly 130. The ejector part 1423' of the ejector member 142' is located in the connecting hole 1223 and engages with the connecting hole 1223.
[0198] In some implementations, the ejector 142' is provided with two threaded portions 1421', which are cylindrical in shape, and the two threaded portions 1421' are symmetrically arranged on the peripheral wall of the limiting portion 1422'.
[0199] To facilitate the processing of the ejector 142', the limiting part 1422', the ejector part 1423', and the threaded part 1421' can be integrally formed. In some embodiments, during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the drive assembly 110 drives the cleaning assembly 130 to rise through the lifting assembly 120, and the disassembly assembly 140 rises synchronously with the lifting assembly 120. The guide member 170 is fixed to the housing 160 through the connector 180 until the holding part 1711 and the stop part 1241 abut against each other. The guide member 170 rotates with the lifting assembly 120, blocking the lifting assembly 120 from rising, so that the ejector 142 can move relative to the transition member 141 toward the cleaning assembly 130 to eject the cleaning assembly 130.
[0200] In some embodiments, the stop portion 1241 is disposed below the second sleeve portion 123. During the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, before the holding portion 1711 abuts against the stop portion 1241, the guide member 170 is fixed and does not rotate. During this process, the drive assembly 110 can drive the cleaning assembly 130 to rise through the lifting assembly 120 until the holding portion 1711 abuts against the stop portion 1241. Then, the force between the stop portion 1241 and the holding portion 1711 will push the guide member 170 and the lifting assembly 120 to rotate together.
[0201] After the guide component 170 and the lifting assembly 120 cooperate, during the rotation of the drive assembly 110 in the first direction, the drive assembly 110 drives the lifting assembly 120 to rotate. Since the guide component 170 is fixed and does not rotate, the position of the lifting assembly 120 relative to the guide component 170 will change. The lifting assembly 120 will rotate and rise relative to the guide component 170. The cleaning assembly 130 is connected to the lifting assembly 120, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate and rise together. That is to say, during this process, under the driving action of the drive assembly 110 and the guiding action of the guide component 170, the lifting assembly 120 moves upward while rotating.
[0202] When the stop portion 1241 of the lifting assembly 120 abuts against the retaining portion 1711 of the guide member 170, the lifting assembly 120 will apply force or apply a greater force to the guide member 170 to drive the guide member 170 to rotate together.
[0203] When the lifting assembly 120 moves upward until the holding part 1711 abuts against the stop part 1241, the guide member 170 will rotate along with the lifting assembly 120 under the action of the lifting assembly 120. There will be no relative movement between the lifting assembly 120 and the guide member 170, so that the lifting assembly 120 can not continue to rise, but can only rotate. Furthermore, the second locking part 1412 on the transition member 141 and the first locking part 161 on the housing 160 are engaged, and the transition member 141 is fixed to the housing 160. When the drive assembly 110 continues to rotate in the first direction, it will drive the ejector 142 to rotate relative to the transition member 141 and move towards the cleaning assembly 130, ejecting the cleaning assembly 130 from the lifting assembly 120. At the same time, the reset member 150 twists and stores force. After the cleaning component 130 is disassembled, the drive component 110 rotates in the second direction, and the lifting component 120, the ejector 142 and the transition component 141 descend synchronously. After the second locking part 1412 on the transition component 141 and the first locking part 161 on the housing 160 disengage, the reset component 150 exerts force, causing the transition component 141 to rotate, causing the ejector 142 to rise relative to the transition component 141, and causing the ejector 142 to reset.
[0204] With this design, the drive assembly 110 of the cleaning device 100 can drive the lifting assembly 120 to rotate and rise or fall synchronously, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate and rise, or drive the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate and fall. After the cleaning assembly 130 rises to the highest position, the transition member 141 is fixed, and the lifting assembly 120 can only rotate, driving the ejector 142 to rotate relative to the transition member 141, ejecting the cleaning assembly 130, so that the cleaning assembly 130 is disengaged from the lifting assembly 120. After the cleaning assembly 130 is disengaged, the drive assembly 110 drives the lifting assembly 120 to rotate and fall, which allows the transition member 141 to rotate relative to the ejector 142, so that the ejector 142 is reset. The cleaning device 100 disclosed herein integrates multiple functions such as cleaning assembly raising, cleaning assembly lowering, cleaning assembly disassembly, and ejector reset. It has a compact structure, high transmission efficiency, and is easy for users to use.
[0205] It should be noted that the engagement of the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 occurs simultaneously with the lifting assembly 120 rising or with the holding part 1711 abutting against the stop part 1241. In other words, the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 may have already engaged before the holding part 1711 abuts against the stop part 1241, or the first locking part 161 and the second locking part 1412 may engage simultaneously with the holding part 1711 abutting against the stop part 1241.
[0206] The working principle of the cleaning device 100 disclosed herein is described below:
[0207] (1) Cleaning status ------ Cleaning component 130 descends to contact the ground;
[0208] Figure 37 shows a schematic diagram of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure in the cleaning state. As shown in Figure 37, the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the second direction, driving the worm gear 1123 to rotate. The worm gear 1123 drives the gear 1124 to rotate. The gear 1124 meshes with the transmission cylinder 1122, thereby driving the transmission cylinder 1122 to rotate around its axis. Since the transmission cylinder 1122 and the first sleeve portion 122 cooperate through the guide portion 128 and the guide groove 1121, and the length direction of the guide groove 1121 is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122, the first sleeve portion 122 will rotate together with the transmission cylinder 1122, thereby causing the lifting assembly 120 to rotate as a whole. The second sleeve portion 123 is threadedly connected to the guide member 170. At this time, the guide member 170 is fixed. Under the action of the guide member 170, the lifting assembly 120 moves downward. The disassembly assembly 140 and the cleaning assembly 130 rotate synchronously with the lifting assembly 120 and descend until the cleaning assembly 130 contacts the ground.
[0209] (2) Uncleaned state ------ Cleaning component 130 rises without contacting the ground;
[0210] Figure 38 shows a schematic diagram of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure in an uncleaned state. As shown in Figure 38, the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the first direction, driving the worm gear 1123 to rotate. The worm gear 1123 drives the gear 1124 to rotate. The gear 1124 meshes with the transmission cylinder 1122, thereby driving the transmission cylinder 1122 to rotate around its axis. Since the transmission cylinder 1122 and the first sleeve portion 122 cooperate through the guide portion 128 and the guide groove 1121, and the length direction of the guide groove 1121 is parallel to the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 1122, the first sleeve portion 122 will rotate together with the transmission cylinder 1122, thereby causing the lifting assembly 120 to rotate as a whole. The second sleeve portion 123 is threadedly connected to the guide member 170. At this time, the guide member 170 is fixed. Under the action of the guide member 170, the lifting assembly 120 moves upward. The disassembly assembly 140 and the cleaning assembly 130 rotate synchronously with the lifting assembly 120 and rise until the cleaning assembly 130 no longer contacts the ground.
[0211] (3) Cleaning component 130 disassembled state ------ Ejector 142 ejects and pushes out cleaning component 130;
[0212] Figure 39 shows a schematic diagram of disassembling the cleaning assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure, and Figure 40 shows a schematic diagram of disassembling the cleaning assembly of the cleaning device provided in one or more embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figures 39 and 40, the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in a first direction, driving the worm gear 1123 to rotate. The worm gear 1123 drives the gear 1124 to rotate. The gear 1124 meshes with the transmission cylinder 1122, thereby driving the transmission cylinder 1122 to rotate around its axis. The transmission cylinder 1122 and the first sleeve portion 122 cooperate through the guide portion 128 and the guide groove 1121, and the length direction of the guide groove 1121 is parallel to the axis of the transmission cylinder 1122. Therefore, the first sleeve 122 will rotate together with the transmission cylinder 1122, and the lifting assembly 120 will rotate as a whole; the second sleeve 123 and the guide 170 are threadedly connected. At this time, the guide 170 is fixed. Under the action of the guide 170, the lifting assembly 120 moves upward. The disassembly assembly 140 and the cleaning assembly 130 rotate synchronously with the lifting assembly 120 and rise until the locking part 1711 of the guide 170 abuts against the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120. At the same time that the locking part 1711 of the guide 170 abuts against the stop part 1241 of the lifting assembly 120, the second locking part 1412 of the transition member 141 and the first locking part 161 of the housing 160 are engaged.
[0213] After the holding part 1711 abuts against the stop part 1241, the force exerted by the second sleeve part 123 on the guide member 170 is greater than the frictional force on the guide member 170. The guide member 170 will rotate synchronously with the second sleeve part 123, and the lifting assembly 120, the disassembly assembly 140 and the cleaning assembly 130 will no longer continue to rise but will only rotate. Because the second locking part 1412 of the transition member 141 engages with the first locking part 161 of the housing 160, the transition member 141 is fixed. The driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 continues to rotate in the first direction. At this time, the lifting assembly 120, the cleaning assembly 130, and the ejector 142 of the disassembly assembly 140 rotate synchronously. Since the transition member 141 is fixed, when the ejector 142 rotates, it will move towards the cleaning assembly 130 and abut against the first magnet part 132 of the cleaning assembly 130, causing the first magnet part 132 to separate from the second magnet part 129, thereby separating the cleaning assembly 130 from the lifting assembly 120, as shown in Figure 39. After the cleaning assembly 130 and the lifting assembly 120 separate, the cleaning assembly 130 falls to the ground under the action of gravity, as shown in Figure 40. During this process, since the transition member 141 and the second locking part 1222 are connected through the reset member 150, the reset member 150 will undergo torsional deformation under the rotation of the lifting assembly 120 and be in a state of torsional storage.
[0214] Figure 41 shows a schematic diagram of the cleaning device ejector resetting according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 42 shows a schematic diagram of the cleaning device ejector resetting according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. When the cleaning component 130 is separated from the lifting component 120, the driver 111 of the drive component 110 rotates in the second direction, causing the lifting component 120, the cleaning component 130, and the disassembly component 140 to move down synchronously until the second locking part 1412 of the transition member 141 and the first locking part 161 of the housing 160 are separated, as shown in Figure 41. At this time, since the transition member 141 is separated from the housing 160, the reset member 150 will rotate back to its initial state. The rotation of the reset member 150 will drive the transition member 141 to rotate, and the transition member 141 will rotate relative to the ejector 142, causing the ejector 142 to move upward and return to the first sleeve part 122, as shown in Figure 42.
[0215] Cleaning component 130 installation state ------ Lifting component 120 drives the second magnet 129 to descend until it is attracted to the first magnet 132 of cleaning component 130;
[0216] After (3) is completed, the driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 continues to rotate in the second direction. The driver 111 of the drive assembly 110 rotates in the second direction, driving the worm 1123 to rotate. The worm 1123 drives the gear 1124 to rotate. The gear 1124 meshes with the transmission cylinder 1122, thereby driving the transmission cylinder 1122 to rotate around its axis. The transmission cylinder 1122 and the first sleeve portion 122 cooperate through the guide portion 128 and the guide groove 1121, and the length direction of the guide groove 1121 is parallel to the transmission cylinder. The first sleeve 122 will rotate along with the transmission cylinder 1122, thus causing the lifting assembly 120 to rotate as a whole; the second sleeve 123 is threadedly connected to the guide 170, at which time the guide 170 is fixed. Under the action of the guide 170, the lifting assembly 120 moves downward, and the disassembly assembly 140 rotates and descends synchronously with the lifting assembly 120 until the second magnet 129 of the lifting assembly 120 is attracted together with the first magnet 132 of the cleaning assembly 130.
[0217] In summary, the drive assembly 110 of the cleaning device 100 can drive the lifting assembly 120 to rotate and rise or fall synchronously, thereby driving the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate and rise, or drive the cleaning assembly 130 to rotate and fall. After the cleaning assembly 130 rises to its highest position, the transition member 141 is fixed, and the lifting assembly 120 can only rotate, driving the ejector 142 to rotate relative to the transition member 141, ejecting the cleaning assembly 130, so that the cleaning assembly 130 is disengaged from the lifting assembly 120. After the cleaning assembly 130 is disengaged, the drive assembly 110 drives the lifting assembly 120 to rotate and fall, which allows the transition member 141 to rotate relative to the ejector 142, so that the ejector 142 is reset. The cleaning device 100 disclosed herein integrates multiple functions such as cleaning assembly raising, cleaning assembly lowering, cleaning assembly disassembly, and ejector reset. It has a compact structure, high transmission efficiency, and is convenient for users.
