Description

Roller brush of a water surface cleaning robot Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cleaning devices and relates to a roller brush of a water surface cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, in order to clean garbage in the water more conveniently and effectively and prevent garbage from polluting the water body, there is a water surface cleaning robot in the existing technology. The water surface cleaning robot is used to clean garbage floating on the water surface. The robot moves forward under the push of a driving device, and the roller brush at the front end of the robot will shovel the garbage in front into the basket. In this way, the garbage on the water surface is cleaned up more efficiently and at a lower cost than manual cleaning, and is suitable for work in different waters.

[0003] However, there are still some shortcomings in the water surface cleaning robots in the existing technology: the water surface cleaning robots collect garbage mainly through the rotation of the roller brush, shoveling the external garbage into the basket. The blades of the roller brush in the existing technology are mainly straight plate structures. Since the blades are straight plate structures, when rotating into the water, the contact area between the blades and the water surface is large, which will generate large waves. At the same time, the water surface will absorb more rotational force on the blades, which reduces the shoveling force generated by the rotation of the roller brush and reduces the efficiency of cleaning garbage. Technical issues

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to address the problems existing in the existing technology and propose a roller brush for a water surface cleaning robot. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to increase the shoveling force of the roller brush and reduce the waves generated when the blades enter the water. Technical Solutions

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A roller brush for a water surface cleaning robot, comprising a body, a roller brush provided on the body, both ends of the roller brush connected to the body, a storage basket provided inside the body, a baffle provided on one side of the storage basket, an opening extending to the baffle provided on the top of the storage basket, the roller brush provided above the baffle, the roller brush comprising a plurality of blades, a hook provided at one end of the blade, and the hook facing the side entering the water.

[0006] In this solution, the robot is used to clean up garbage floating on the water surface. After the robot is placed in the water, it will float on the water surface and be pushed forward by the power system on the robot. During the process of the robot moving forward, the roller brush will also be driven to rotate. Since the roller brush is arranged above the baffle, it will shovel the garbage passed by the robot into the storage basket from the opening of the storage basket. Due to the blocking effect of the baffle, the garbage collected in the storage basket will no longer fall out of the storage basket; since there are curved hooks on the blades, the contact area between the blades and the water surface is reduced when the blades rotate into the water, so that the resistance of the water surface to the blades is reduced. Therefore, compared with ordinary blades, the blades with curved hooks have a higher rotation speed and the shoveling force generated by rotation is stronger. Moreover, when the blades enter the water, the curved hook at the front end of the blades will first contact the water surface, making the blades enter the water more smoothly. Compared with ordinary blades hitting the water surface when entering the water, the waves generated by the blades with curved hooks entering the water are smaller.

[0007] In the aforementioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, when the rotating blade contacts the water surface, the hook forms a 90-degree angle with the water surface, and the front end of the hook is sharp. When the hook is at 90 degrees to the water surface, it enters the water vertically downward. The sharp angle of the hook also enables the blade to more easily push away the water surface, reducing the resistance to entry.

[0008] In the roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, the blades on the roller brush are composed of a plurality of discontinuous small blades. The roller brush is composed of two or more groups of small blades, and the small blades are used to shovel garbage on the water surface.

[0009] In the roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, the blades on the roller brush are composed of several continuous single-row blades, and the two ends of the large blades extend to the two ends of the roller brush. The single-row blades have a smaller spacing, and the frequency of shoveling garbage is higher.

[0010] In the roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, both ends of the roller brush are provided with clamping parts, and both sides of the body are provided with mounting parts corresponding to the clamping parts. The clamping parts are used to connect with the structure on the mounting parts.

[0011] In the aforementioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, the mounting portion includes a countersunk hole, the bottom of which is provided with a mounting hole, and the roller brush engages with the mounting hole via a clamping portion, thereby hingedly connecting the roller brush to the body. The hinged connection between the clamping portion and the mounting hole allows the roller brush to rotate on the body.

[0012] In the aforementioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, a motor and a transmission gear are located within the countersunk hole on one side. The motor and transmission gear mesh with each other, and the transmission gear is securely connected to a clamping portion at one end. Both the motor and transmission gear are securely attached to the countersunk hole. Rotation of the motor drives the meshed transmission gear, which, because it is securely connected to the clamping portion, drives the roller brush to rotate as well.

[0013] In the roller brush of the above-mentioned water surface cleaning robot, a water inlet is provided at the front end of the water surface robot and is connected front to back to form a water trough. The water trough includes a mounting cavity located at the front end of the body, and the storage basket is inserted into the mounting cavity from the front end. Mounting sliders and positioning pins are provided on both sides of the storage basket. Mounting support plates and positioning support plates are provided on both side walls of the mounting cavity. The mounting support plates extend backward from the above-mentioned water inlet along the direction of water flow. When the mounting slide cooperates with the mounting support plate and abuts against the blocking part of the mounting support plate, the positioning pin abuts against the positioning part on the positioning support plate.

[0014] The storage basket is slidably connected to the installation cavity of the water trough through the installation slider and the installation support plate, and when the installation slider contacts the blocking part on the installation support plate, the positioning pin on the storage basket cooperates with the positioning part on the positioning support plate to prevent the storage basket from overturning, and because the installation support plate starts from the water inlet end and extends to the rear end along the direction of water flow, and after the installation is completed, the installation slider is abutted against the blocking part, so that the storage basket can be installed from the front end, avoiding leakage caused by repeated opening and closing of the cover, and reducing safety risks and improving service life. By installing the support plate, the positioning support plate, the positioning pins on the storage basket and the installation slider cooperate with each other, the storage basket is prevented from being affected by the water flow and separated from the body, thereby improving the stability of the storage basket installation.

[0015] In the aforementioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, the mounting support plate includes an insertion bevel and a supporting surface. One end of the insertion bevel is located at the water inlet, and the other end is connected to the supporting surface. The supporting surface can be arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the storage basket and the ground. By cooperating with the insertion bevel and the mounting slider, the storage basket can be inserted from the bottom to the top of the mounting cavity through the water inlet of the machine body. The storage basket is then fixed to the support surface and its position is corrected so that the bottom surface of the storage basket is parallel to the ground. This reduces the contact area of ​​the storage basket during the movement of the device, while reducing obstruction and further improving the service life of the device.

[0016] In the aforementioned roller brush of the surface cleaning robot, the positioning support plate is provided with a guide surface and a latching surface. The guide surface is specifically inclined, and the latching surface is arranged parallel to the supporting surface of the mounting support plate. The guide surface guides the positioning pin, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the storage basket and improving installation efficiency. The latching surface is parallel to the supporting surface, thereby preventing the storage basket from moving downward within the installation cavity and improving the stability of the storage basket installation.

[0017] In the roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, a partition is provided on the water trough, the partition and the side wall of the water trough form a mounting cavity, and one end of the supporting surface is connected to the partition to form a blocking portion.

[0018] In the aforementioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, a magnetic sheet is provided on the partition, and an adsorption member is embedded in the rear wall of the storage basket, positioned opposite the magnetic sheet. By providing the magnetic sheet on the partition and magnetically connecting to the storage basket, the installation slider is automatically positioned when it moves to the supporting surface, and the sound produced by the collision between the two reminds the user that the device is properly installed.

[0019] In the above-mentioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, the positioning support plate is located above the insertion inclined surface of the mounting support plate and is close to the water inlet.

[0020] In the aforementioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, a cover is provided above the mounting cavity. The storage basket includes side walls and a rear wall. The side walls cooperate to form a pouring opening located above the basket. The cover completely covers the pouring opening and cooperates with the basket to form a cavity with only a front opening. By providing a cover that completely covers the pouring opening, the basket is protected from spilling garbage outside the basket due to overfilling when it is pulled out from the front, thereby improving the user experience.

[0021] In the roller brush of the above-mentioned water surface cleaning robot, the water surface robot includes a water trough that passes through from front to back, and a partition is provided in the water trough. The partition cooperates with the inner walls on both sides of the water trough to form an installation cavity, and is characterized in that the front end of the installation cavity is provided with an inlet for inserting a storage basket, and the storage basket is provided with a fixing component and a positioning component. The storage basket is inserted into the installation cavity along the direction of water flow from the above-mentioned inlet, so that the fixing component is plug-connected with the partition, and the positioning component is adsorbed and connected with the adsorption portion on the inner wall of the installation cavity.

[0022] The machine body includes a water trough running through the front and back, and a roller brush and a storage basket are arranged at the front end of the water trough, so that the machine body can be collected into the storage basket during the movement, and a partition is arranged on the water trough, and the fixing component of the storage basket is plugged and connected with the partition, so as to play a certain blocking role, preventing the machine body from moving forward by the driving motor and the storage basket from moving backward or staying in place due to the influence of the roller brush, and the storage basket and the partition are plugged and connected by the fixing component. After the plug-in connection, the relative position of the storage basket is corrected by the positioning component and the inner walls on both sides of the installation cavity by adsorption connection. This prevents the collected garbage from being dumped out of the storage basket due to the influence of water flow or other factors during use, thereby improving the stability of the water surface cleaning machine. In addition, since it adopts the method of inserting the collection port at the front end of the machine body, it simplifies the machine structure and avoids repeated opening and closing of the upper cover, which may reduce the service life of the power supply system. Moreover, it is only necessary to move the storage basket a certain distance in the opposite direction of the water flow relative to the installation cavity to separate the fixing component from the partition, and to separate the positioning component from the adsorption parts on both sides of the installation cavity, thereby simplifying the installation structure and improving the installation efficiency.

[0023] In the aforementioned surface cleaning robot's roller brush, the fixing assembly includes symmetrically placed mounting pins on the rear wall of the storage basket, and mounting holes corresponding to the mounting pins are provided on the partition. The mounting pins on the rear wall of the storage basket engage with the mounting holes on the partition, thereby preventing the storage basket from being affected by water flow and improving the reliability of the connection between the storage basket and the robot body.

[0024] In the aforementioned surface cleaning robot's roller brush, the positioning assembly includes a magnetic or iron sheet located on the side wall of the storage basket. This magnetic or iron sheet is embedded above the basket and near the water inlet. Adhesion portions on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting cavity correspond to the magnetic or iron sheet. This positioning assembly at the front end prevents the basket from being dumped out of the front end due to misalignment during movement.

[0025] In the aforementioned roller brush of the water surface cleaning robot, the positioning assembly further includes a magnetic sheet or iron sheet located on the rear wall of the storage basket, positioned between the two mounting pins. The partition is provided with an adsorption portion corresponding to the magnetic sheet or iron sheet. By inserting the mounting pins into the partition to connect the two, the adsorption portion cooperates with the magnetic sheet or iron sheet, thereby further enhancing the connection strength between the storage basket and the body.

[0026] In the aforementioned surface cleaning robot's roller brush, one end of the storage basket extends forward to form a pocket below the roller brush at the front end of the robot body. The pocket has an integrally formed recessed handle. The pocket below the roller brush prevents garbage from falling out of the basket during collection. Furthermore, the recessed handle on the pocket facilitates removal of the basket for subsequent emptying.

[0027] The roller brush of the aforementioned water surface cleaning robot has two symmetrical inclined surfaces at the front end. These surfaces, along with the handle and pocket, form a trapezoidal shape that is larger on the outside and smaller on the inside. By combining the water inlet with the entrance of the storage basket to form a trapezoidal shape, the robot can guide waste on the water surface to a certain extent, further improving recycling efficiency. Beneficial effects

[0028] 1. In this solution, since the blades are provided with hooks, when the blades rotate into the water, the angle between the hooks and the water surface is 90 degrees, which reduces the contact area between the blades and the water surface, thereby reducing the resistance generated by the water surface. Compared with ordinary blades, the blades with hooks have a higher rotation speed and the shoveling force generated by the rotation is stronger.

[0029] 2. In this solution, when the blade enters the water, the curved hook at the front end of the blade will first contact the water surface, making the blade enter the water more smoothly. Compared with ordinary blades hitting the water surface when entering the water, the waves generated by the blade with a curved hook when entering the water are smaller.

[0030] 3. This solution mainly involves inserting the storage basket through the water inlet end of the machine body, and cooperating the mounting sliders and positioning pins on both side walls of the storage basket with the mounting support plates and positioning support plates on both sides of the mounting cavity to complete the fixation of the storage basket. The mounting support plates are extended from the water inlet to the rear end and cooperated with the partition to form a blocking part, thereby preventing the storage basket from separating from the machine body during movement and improving stability.

[0031] 4. When the slider is installed and connected with the positioning pin, the storage basket is connected to the partition through the magnetic suction component, and a cover is installed on the storage basket, so that the storage basket is difficult to be taken out from the front due to excessive garbage inside.

[0032] 5. This solution mainly involves inserting the storage basket into the body from the water inlet at the front end of the body along the direction of water inflow, and completing the recovery and installation of the storage basket by pulling and pulling. The storage basket is fixed by the mounting pins and the mounting holes on the partition, and is positioned by the magnetic sheet or iron sheet and the adsorption parts of the inner walls on both sides of the installation cavity, thereby preventing the collected garbage from being poured back into the water, and improving the convenience of disassembly of the storage basket through magnetic attraction.

[0033] 6. The positioning components are respectively set on the side wall and the rear wall of the storage basket to ensure that the storage basket will not move while further improving the stability of the storage basket. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0048] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Example 1

[0049] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the roller brush 2 of the water surface cleaning robot includes a body 1, a storage basket 3 is provided at the front end of the body 1, an opening 3b is provided at the top of the storage basket 3, and symmetrical mounting parts 4 are provided on both sides of the interior of the shell. The roller brush 2 is hingedly connected to the mounting part 4, and a clamping part 2b is provided at both ends of the roller brush 2.

[0050] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, the storage basket 3 is provided with a baffle 3a on the side facing the front end of the body 1, and the opening 3b extends to the top of the baffle 3a. The roller brush 2 is provided above the baffle 3a and on the outside of the opening 3b. The roller brush 2 includes a plurality of blades 2a. The blades 2a on the roller brush 2 are composed of a plurality of discontinuous small blades 2a. The other end of the blade 2a connected to the roller brush 2 is provided with a hook 2a1, and the front end of the hook 2a1 is a pointed angle. The mounting portion 4 includes a countersunk hole 4a, and the bottom of the countersunk hole 4a is provided with a mounting hole 4a1. The roller brush 2 is hingedly connected to the body 1 through the clamping portion 2b and the mounting hole 4a1. A fixed motor 4a2 and a transmission gear 4a3 are provided inside the countersunk hole 4a. The motor 4a2 is meshed with the transmission gear 4a3, and the transmission gear 4a3 is fixed to the clamping portion 2b.

[0051] As shown in Figures 1-4, after the robot is placed in the water, it will float on the water surface and be pushed forward by the power system on the robot. During the process of the robot moving forward, the motor 4a2 rotates to drive the meshed transmission gear 4a3 to rotate. Since the transmission gear 4a3 is fixedly connected to the clamping part 2b, it will drive the roller brush 2 to rotate together. Since the roller brush 2 is arranged above the baffle 3a and is located at the opening 3b of the storage basket 3, the blades 2a on the roller brush 2 will shovel the garbage passed by the robot from the opening 3b of the storage basket 3 into the storage basket 3. Due to the blocking effect of the baffle 3a, the garbage collected in the storage basket 3 will no longer fall out of the storage basket 3, thereby achieving the function of cleaning the garbage on the water surface.

[0052] Since the blade 2a is provided with a hook 2a1 and the front end of the hook 2a1 is a sharp angle, when the blade 2a rotates into the water, the angle between the hook 2a1 and the water surface is 90 degrees, which reduces the contact area between the blade 2a and the water surface, thereby reducing the resistance of the water surface to the blade 2a. Therefore, compared with the ordinary blade 2a, the blade 2a with the hook 2a1 has a higher rotation speed and a stronger shoveling force generated by the rotation. Moreover, when the blade 2a enters the water, the hook 2a1 at the front end of the blade 2a will first contact the water surface, making it easier for the blade 2a to enter the water. Compared with the ordinary blade 2a hitting the water surface when entering the water, the waves generated by the blade 2a with the hook 2a1 entering the water are smaller.

[0053] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the present application is a storage device for a water surface cleaning device, which includes a body 1 and a storage basket 3 inserted into the water inlet 1a of the body 1, wherein the storage basket 3 is provided with a positioning pin 3d and a mounting slider 3c, the positioning pin 3d is located at the front end of the storage basket 3, the mounting slider 3c is located at the rear end of the storage basket 3, and the positioning pin 3d is located above the mounting slider 3c, and the water trough 1b on the body 1 is separated by a partition 1b1 to form an installation cavity 5, and the two side walls of the installation cavity 5 are provided with a mounting support plate 5a and a positioning support plate 5c. Plate 5b, the installation support plate 5a includes an insertion inclined surface 5a1 and a supporting surface 5a2, the positioning support plate 5b includes a guide surface 5b1 and a clamping surface 5b2, a magnetic sheet 6 is provided on the partition 1b1, and an adsorption member 7 adsorbed with the magnetic sheet 6 is provided on the rear wall 3h of the storage basket 3. The installation support plate 5a extends from the water inlet 1a to the rear end. After the storage basket 3 is inserted into the installation cavity 5, the installation slider 3c is located on the supporting surface 5a2 and abuts against the blocking portion 5a3 formed by the partition 1b1 and the supporting surface 5a2.

[0054] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, after the storage basket 3 is inserted into the installation cavity 5 from the front end, the cover plate 8 located in the body 1 can completely cover the storage basket 3, and cooperate with the storage basket side wall 3i of the storage basket 3 to form a closed space with only a front end opening 3b, and an adsorption part 7 connected to the magnetic sheet 6 on the partition 1b1 is provided on the storage basket rear wall 3h in the storage basket 3, and the storage basket 3 is connected to the installation cavity 5 through the installation support plate 5a and the positioning support plate 5b located on the side wall, wherein the positioning pin 3d and the installation slider 3c on the storage basket 3 are in contact with the positioning support plate 5b and the installation support plate 5a respectively, the installation support plate 5a includes an insertion inclined surface 5a1 and a supporting surface 5a2, the positioning support plate 5b includes a support plate with a certain inclination and a clamping surface 5b2 parallel to the ground, and the positioning support plate 5b is located at the water inlet 1a of the water trough 1b of the body 1.

[0055] The mounting slider 3c at the rear end of the storage basket 3 is brought into contact with the mounting support plate 5a located on the water inlet 1a of the machine body 1, and the mounting slider 3c is moved along the insertion inclined surface 5a1 on the mounting support plate 5a toward the partition 1b1, and then abuts against the blocking portion 5a3 formed by the supporting portion and the partition 1b1. When the mounting slider 3c is in contact with the insertion inclined surface 5a1, the positioning pin 3d located on the storage basket 3 is in contact with the guide surface 5b1 on the positioning support plate 5b, and when the mounting slider 3c is in contact with the blocking portion 5a3, the positioning pin 3d is in contact with the clamping surface 5b2 on the positioning support plate 5b, so that it abuts against the positioning portion 5b3. Since the mounting support plate 5a and the positioning support plate 5b both start from the water inlet 1a on the body 1 where the roller brush 2 is provided, and extend in the opposite direction of the movement of the water surface cleaning device, and the mounting support plate 5a cooperates with the partition 1b1 used to separate the water trough 1b to form a blocking portion 5a3, the water surface cleaning device is prevented from being affected by the water flow during movement, causing the storage basket 3 to separate from the body 1, and a positioning pin 3d is provided at the front end of the storage basket 3. Through the cooperation of the positioning pin 3d and the positioning support plate 5b, the front end of the storage basket 3 and the groove wall of the water trough 1b can cooperate to form an opening 3b for accommodating the roller brush 2 and allowing garbage to enter the storage basket 3. When the storage basket 3 is inserted into the mounting cavity 5 from the front water inlet 1a to reduce the safety risk of leakage and increase the service life of the equipment, it is fixed by the cooperation between the storage basket 3 and the mounting cavity 5, thereby ensuring that it can be taken out normally and preventing the storage basket 3 from overturning and causing the collected garbage to be poured out.

[0056] Among them, in order to facilitate the operator to pull out the storage basket 3 and prevent garbage from being scattered outside during the pulling-out process, a cover plate 8 is set on the pouring port 3e surrounded by the storage basket side wall 3i of the storage basket 3, and the cover plate 8 completely covers the pouring port 3e to avoid interference with the rolling parts due to excessive garbage, thereby improving the user experience. Example 2

[0057] This embodiment is an alternative to the first embodiment, in which the connection structure between the body 1 and the roller brush 2 is the same as that in the first embodiment, the difference being the structure of the blades 2a of the roller brush 2. As shown in FIG5 , the roller brush 2 in this embodiment is composed of a plurality of single-row blades 2c, and the end of the single-row blades 2c away from the roller brush 2 is provided with a hook 2a1 having the same structure as that of the first embodiment. Example 3

[0058] As shown in Figures 10 and 11, the present application is a storage device for a water surface cleaning machine, which includes a body 1 and a storage basket 3 inserted into the water inlet 1a end of the body 1, wherein the body 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 5 for accommodating the storage basket 3, the mounting cavity 5 is formed by the inner wall of the body 1 and the partition 1b1 located on the body 1, the partition 1b1 is provided with a mounting hole 1b2 for fixing the storage basket 3, and the storage basket 3 and the partition 1b1 are fixed by the mounting pin 3f1 on the fixing component 3f and the mounting hole 1b2. The mounting pins 3f1 are located on the rear wall 3h of the storage basket 3. Positioning components 3g, made of magnetic or iron sheets, are installed on the rear wall 3h and both side walls 3i of the storage basket 3. The positioning components 3g on the side walls 3i of the storage basket 3 are located near the roller brush 2, while the positioning component 3g on the rear wall 3h of the storage basket 3 is located between the two mounting pins 3f1. An adsorption portion 5d, which is adsorbed and connected to the positioning components 3g, is located between the two mounting holes 1b2 on the partition 1b1. A pocket 3j is located directly below the roller brush 2, and a handle 3j1 is provided on the pocket 3j. The handle 3j1 forms an inverted trapezoidal shape with the two inclined surfaces 1c at the inlet 5c of the housing 1.

[0059] As shown in Figures 12 and 13, the housing 1 of this embodiment further comprises a water channel 1b extending from front to back. A partition 1b1 is located within the water channel 1b, separating the channel 1b into a mounting cavity 5 for mounting a storage basket 3. Adhesion portions 5d are provided on either side of the mounting cavity 5, enabling the housing 1 to be adsorbed and connected to the storage basket 3. When the storage basket 3 enters the mounting cavity 5 through the inlet 5c at the front end of the housing 1 in the direction of water flow, the mounting pins 3f1 on the rear wall 3h of the storage basket 3 engage with the mounting holes 1b2 on the partition 1b1, and the positioning assembly 3g on the rear wall 3h of the storage basket 3 adhesively connects with the adhesivity portions 5d on the partition 1b1. A pocket 3j is provided at the front end of the storage basket 3 (i.e., at the water inlet 1a), with a recessed handle 3j1 provided on the pocket 3j. The length of the pocket 3j is greater than the radius of the roller brush 2.

[0060] Insert the storage basket 3 into the water trough 1b through the inlet 5c at the front end of the body 1, and fix the storage basket 3 through the installation cavity 5 formed by the partition 1b1 on the water trough 1b and the inner walls on both sides. In which, the storage basket side wall 3i of the storage basket 3 and the installation cavity 5 are mainly connected by the adsorption part 5d on both sides of the installation cavity 5 through the positioning component 3g. At the same time, the installation pin 3f1 on the storage basket rear wall 3h of the storage basket 3 is plugged into the installation hole 1b2 on the partition 1b1, and the positioning component placed between the two installation pins 3f1 is placed between the two installation pins 3f1. Positioning assembly 3g is attached to and connected with the suction portion 5d on the partition 1b1. This ensures accurate installation of the storage basket 3 and prevents the collected garbage from being dumped out due to misalignment. The mounting pin 3f1 is inserted into the mounting hole 1b2 to secure the storage basket 3. This, in conjunction with the partition 1b1, prevents the storage basket 3 from being moved backward by the current during movement of the water surface cleaning machine, potentially causing the suction portion 5d on the machine body 1 to misalign with the positioning assembly 3g on the storage basket 3 and causing the storage basket 3 to fall. Furthermore, both the positioning assembly 3g and the suction portion 5d are made of magnetic materials, such as magnetic sheets or iron sheets, embedded in the sidewalls of the storage basket 3 and the machine body 1. Therefore, when the storage basket 3 is moved from the front to the rear of the machine body 1 to a certain position along the direction of the current, the positioning assembly 3g magnetically connects with the suction portion 5d. This simplifies the installation of the storage basket 3, improves the user experience, and extends the life of the machine by allowing it to be pulled out from the front.

[0061] To ensure the water surface cleaning machine's recycling efficiency, a pocket 3j is provided on the storage basket 3, located directly below the roller brush 2. This pocket, in conjunction with the symmetrically arranged slopes 1c on either side of the machine body 1, forms a trapezoidal shape, thereby providing a certain degree of guidance for the waste. A recessed handle 3j1 is also provided on the pocket 3j, which the operator uses to complete the installation of the machine body 1.
