DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] In addition, this application may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , a first embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning device 100 comprising a housing 10, a mopping element 20, and a main brush 30. Multiple main brushes 30 are rotatably connected to the housing 10. The mopping element 20 is connected to the housing 10 and spaced apart from the main brush 30.

[0045] The cleaning device 100 can be a floor scrubber, a sweeping robot, a sweeping machine, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0046] Because multiple main brushes 30 are rotatably connected to the housing 10, they effectively remove dust and debris from the floor compared to a single main brush 30, cleaning hair (such as hair and pet hair) more thoroughly and effectively. Since the mopping element 20 is connected to the housing 10 and spaced apart from the main brush 30, after the main brush 30 has removed debris from the floor surface, the mopping element 20 can be used to mop the floor, removing stubborn stains. This prevents debris from affecting the mopping effect of the mopping element 20, further ensuring a more effective cleaning experience and enhancing the user experience.

[0047] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in certain embodiments, to prevent debris from interfering with the mopping performance of the mopping unit 20, the main brush 30 is positioned ahead of the mopping unit 20 as the cleaning device 100 moves. This means that as the cleaning device 100 moves, the main brush 30 first removes debris and dust, followed by the mopping unit 20 mopping to remove stubborn stains. This prevents debris from interfering with the mopping unit 20, ensuring its effective mopping and further enhancing cleaning performance.

[0048] In some embodiments, in order to more clearly describe the behavior of the cleaning device 100, the following directions are defined: the cleaning device 100 can move on the ground by various combinations of movements relative to the following three mutually perpendicular axes defined by the housing 10: the lateral axis x, the front-to-back axis y, and the central vertical axis z. The forward drive direction along the front-to-back axis y is marked as "forward", and the rearward drive direction along the front-to-back axis y is marked as "rearward". The lateral axis x essentially extends between the right wheel and the left wheel of the cleaning device 100 along the axis defined by the center point of the drive wheel assembly. Among them, the cleaning device 100 can rotate around the x-axis. When the forward portion of the cleaning device 100 is tilted upward and the rear portion is tilted downward, it is "tilting up", and when the forward portion of the cleaning device 100 is tilted downward and the rear portion is tilted upward, it is "pitching down".

[0049] In some embodiments, to further ensure the mopping effect of the mopping member 20, the mopping member 20 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10. The rotation of the mopping member 20 can increase the friction time between the mopping member 20 and the floor, and can also ensure that the mopping member 20 fully contacts stubborn stains on the floor, allowing the mopping member 20 to clean stubborn stains on the floor, thereby further ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0050] In certain embodiments, to further enhance cleaning effectiveness, the rotation axis of the mopping element 20 and the rotation axis of the main brush 30 are arranged at an angle. This allows the mopping element 20 and the main brush 30 to clean dust, garbage, and stubborn stains from different directions, ensuring thorough cleaning and improving the user experience. The angle between the rotation axis of the mopping element 20 and the rotation axis of the main brush 30 can be acute, obtuse, or right.

[0051] In some embodiments, when the angle between the rotation axis of the mopping element 20 and the rotation axis of the main brush 30 is a right angle, the rotation axis of the main brush 30 can be parallel to the transverse axis x, and the rotation axis of the mopping element 20 can be parallel to the central vertical axis z.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the main brush 30 rotates in the horizontal direction, the main brush 30 can roll up dust and garbage on the ground to remove the dust and garbage on the ground, thereby ensuring a cleaning effect.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the mopping element 20 rotates in the vertical direction, the friction time between the mopping element 20 and the ground is increased, and the mopping element 20 can also fully contact with the stubborn stains on the ground, so that the mopping element 20 can clean the stubborn stains on the ground, and clean the stubborn stains on the ground, further ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0054] In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the cleaning effect, there are one or more mopping members 20. The floor is mopped by one or more mopping members 20 to clean stubborn stains on the floor.

[0055] In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the cleaning effect, when there are multiple mopping elements 20, the rotation directions of two adjacent mopping elements 20 are opposite, so that the stains on the ground between the two adjacent mopping elements 20 can be cleaned by the mopping elements 20 with different rotation directions, which can increase the friction time between the mopping elements 20 and the ground, and can also make the mopping elements 20 fully contact with the stubborn stains on the ground, so that the mopping elements 20 can clean the stubborn stains on the ground, and clean the stubborn stains on the ground, further ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0056] Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in certain embodiments, to ensure effective mopping of the mopping element 20, the mopping element 20 includes a driver 202 and a mopping unit 201. The driver 202 is disposed within the housing 10. The mopping unit 201 is disposed outside the housing 10 and is detachably connected to the driver 202. The rotation axis of the mopping unit 201 is angled relative to the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100; that is, the rotation axis of the mopping unit 201 is angled relative to the front-rear axis y. The mopping unit 201 can be a rag or mop.

[0057] In some embodiments, when cleaning is to be performed, the driver 202 is activated. The actuator 202 drives the mopping unit 201 to rotate, which can increase the friction time between the mopping unit 201 and the floor, and can also make the mopping unit 201 fully contact with stubborn stains on the floor, so that the mopping unit 201 can clean the stubborn stains on the floor, and clean the stubborn stains on the floor, further ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0058] In certain embodiments, since the driver 202 is disposed within the housing 10, the space within the housing 10 can be fully utilized, thereby improving space utilization, avoiding increasing the height of the housing 10, and reducing the space occupied by the housing 10. Furthermore, the driver 202 can be accommodated within the cavity within the housing 10, thereby preventing the driver 202 from being exposed to the outside and ensuring aesthetics.

[0059] In some embodiments, the mopping part 201 is arranged outside the shell 10, ensuring that the mopping part 201 can fully mop the floor, so that the mopping part 201 can clean stubborn stains on the floor, and clean the stubborn stains on the floor, further ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0060] In some embodiments, since the mopping part 201 is detachably connected to the driver 202, when the mopping part 201 needs to be replaced or cleaned, the mopping part 201 can be removed from the driver 202, and then a new mopping part or a cleaned mopping part can be installed on the action end of the driver 202 for easy replacement.

[0061] In certain embodiments, to further enhance cleaning effectiveness, the rotation axis of the mopping unit 201 and the rotation axis of the main brush 30 are arranged at an angle. This allows the mopping unit 201 and the main brush 30 to clean dust, garbage, and stubborn stains from different directions, ensuring thorough cleaning and improving the user experience. The angle between the rotation axis of the mopping unit 201 and the rotation axis of the main brush 30 can be acute, obtuse, or right.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the angle between the rotation axis of the mopping portion 201 and the rotation axis of the main brush 30 is a right angle, the rotation axis of the main brush 30 can be parallel to the transverse axis x, and the rotation axis of the mopping portion 201 can be parallel to the central vertical axis z.

[0063] In some embodiments, when the rotating shaft of the mopping part 201 is parallel to the central vertical axis z, the friction time between the mopping part 201 and the ground is increased, and the mopping part 201 can also fully contact with the stubborn stains on the ground, so that the mopping part 201 can clean the stubborn stains on the ground, and clean the stubborn stains on the ground, further ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0064] Referring to Figure 2 , in certain embodiments, to ensure effective cleaning, the housing 10 is provided with a dust suction port 102 and an opening 101. The main brush 30 is at least partially exposed in the opening 101, allowing it to clean debris and dust from the floor. As the main brush 30 rotates, it sweeps dust and debris into the dust suction port 102, where they are then sucked away, further ensuring effective cleaning.

[0065] In some embodiments, to ensure a good cleaning effect, at least two of the main brushes 30 are arranged in sequence along the travel direction of the cleaning device 100 . And / or, at least two of the main brushes 30 are arranged in sequence in a direction perpendicular to the travel direction of the cleaning device 100 .

[0066] Referring to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, in some embodiments, to ensure effective cleaning, at least two of the main brushes 30 are arranged along the travel direction of the cleaning device 100. In other words, the at least two of the main brushes 30 can be arranged along the front-rear axis y, so that the at least two of the main brushes 30 can remove dust and debris from the ground, ensuring that hair (hair, pet hair) is cleaned thoroughly and effectively.

[0067] Referring to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, in certain embodiments, to ensure effective cleaning, at least two of the main brushes 30 are arranged perpendicular to the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100. In other words, the at least two of the main brushes 30 can be arranged along the transverse axis x, so that the at least two of the main brushes 30 can remove dust and debris from the floor, ensuring that hair (such as hair and pet hair) is cleaned thoroughly and effectively.

[0068] In some embodiments, when at least two of the main brushes 30 are arranged in a direction forming an angle with the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100, the at least two of the main brushes 30 may be coaxially arranged. Of course, in other embodiments, the at least two of the main brushes 30 may also be slightly staggered.

[0069] In certain embodiments, when at least two of the main brushes 30 are arranged at an angle to the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100, the at least two main brushes 30 may be coaxially arranged. That is, the at least two main brushes 30 utilize the same rotating shaft, and only one driver is required to drive the at least two main brushes 30 to rotate via the shaft, thereby reducing costs. Of course, in other embodiments, the at least two main brushes 30 may also be coaxially arranged. That is, the at least two main brushes 30 may each utilize a rotating shaft, and there may be multiple drivers, which can drive the corresponding main brushes to rotate via the rotating shafts.

[0070] In some embodiments, the main brush 30 includes a first main brush 301 and a second main brush 302. The first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 are arranged sequentially along the travel direction of the cleaning device 100. In other words, the second main brush 302 and the first main brush 301 are arranged in a front-to-rear direction along the front-to-rear axis y, with the second main brush 302 located in front of the first main brush 301. The second main brush 302 can lift up debris on the ground, while the first main brush 301 can draw debris and dust into the suction port 102 to remove dust and debris from the ground, further ensuring a good cleaning effect.

[0071] Referring to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the main brush 30 includes a first main brush 301 and a second main brush 302 . The first and second main brushes 301 and 302 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100. In other words, the first and second main brushes 301 and 302 are arranged along the transverse axis x to remove dust and debris from the floor, ensuring a cleansing effect.

[0072] Referring to Figure 4 , in some embodiments, the main brush 30 includes a first main brush 301, a second main brush 302, and a third main brush 303. The first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 are arranged in sequence perpendicular to the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100, and the third main brush 303 is arranged in sequence with the first and second main brushes 301, 302 along the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100. In other words, the first main brush 301, the second main brush 302, and the third main brush 303 are arranged in front of each other along the front-rear axis y, with the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 located in front of the third main brush 303. The first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 can lift up debris on the ground, while the third main brush 303 can draw debris and dust into the suction port 102 to remove dust and debris from the ground, further ensuring a good cleaning effect.

[0073] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the main brush 30 includes a first main brush 301, a second main brush 302, and a third main brush 303. The first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 are arranged in sequence perpendicular to the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100. The first main brush 301, the second main brush 302, and the third main brush 303 are arranged in sequence along the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100. In other words, the third main brush 303 is arranged in front of and behind the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 along the front-rear axis y. The third main brush 303 is located in front of the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302. The third main brush 303 can lift up debris on the ground, while the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 can draw the debris and dust into the suction port 102 to remove the dust and debris on the ground, further ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0074] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, the main brush 30 includes a first main brush 301, a second main brush 302, a third main brush 303, and a fourth main brush 304. The first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 are arranged in sequence along a direction perpendicular to the travel direction of the cleaning device 100. That is, the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 are arranged in the direction of the transverse axis x. The third main brush 303 and the fourth main brush 304 are arranged in sequence along a direction perpendicular to the travel direction of the cleaning device 100. That is, the third main brush 303 and the fourth main brush 304 are arranged in the direction of the transverse axis x. The first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 and the third main brush 303 and the fourth main brush 304 are arranged in the travel direction of the cleaning device 100. That is to say, the third main brush 303 and the fourth main brush 304 are arranged front and back with the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 along the direction of the front-rear axis y, and the third main brush 303 and the fourth main brush 304 are located in front of the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302. The third main brush 303 and the fourth main brush 304 can bounce up the garbage on the ground, and the first main brush 301 and the second main brush 302 can roll the garbage and dust into the suction port 102 to remove the dust and garbage on the ground, further ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0075] In some embodiments, to ensure effective cleaning, multiple main brushes 30 are arranged in two rows along the direction of travel of the cleaning device 100. The main brushes in the two rows rotate in opposite directions. As the main brushes 30 rotate, they sweep dust and debris into the suction port 102, where they are then sucked away, further ensuring effective cleaning.

[0076] In certain embodiments, each row of main brush groups may include one or more main brushes. When a row of main brush groups includes a plurality of main brushes, the rotation directions of the plurality of main brushes are the same.

[0077] In some embodiments, the two rows of main brush groups include a first row of main brush groups and a second row of main brush groups along the travel direction of the cleaning device 100. The first row of main brush groups can be located in front of the second row of main brush groups, or the first row of main brush groups can be located behind the second row of main brush groups.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the first row of main brush groups is located in front of the second row of main brush groups, taking the right side perspective of Figure 4 as an example, the main brushes of the first row of main brush groups rotate counterclockwise and the main brushes of the second row of main brush groups rotate clockwise to sweep dust and garbage into the suction port 102.

[0079] In some embodiments, to further ensure the cleaning effect, the cleaning device 100 further includes a side brush 40. The side brush 40 is rotatably disposed on the housing 10. The main brush 30 is located between the side brush and the mopping element 20.

[0080] In some embodiments, the side brush 40 sweeps the garbage around the shell 10 to the bottom of the main brush 30, and then the main brush 30 rotates to sweep the garbage into the suction port 102. At the same time, the dust and other impurities around the shell 10 can be adsorbed in the garbage box by the suction motor for centralized treatment.

[0081] In some embodiments, along the traveling direction of the cleaning device 100 , the side brush 40 is located in front of the main brush 30 , and the main brush 30 is located in front of the mopping element 20 to ensure a good cleaning effect.

[0082] In some embodiments, the number of the side brushes 40 may be one or more.

[0083] 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, to facilitate the movement of the cleaning device 100 , the cleaning device 100 further includes a universal wheel 60 . The universal wheel 60 is rotatably disposed on the housing 10 so that the housing 10 can move in all directions.

[0084] 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, in order to enable the cleaning device 100 to move, the cleaning device 100 further includes two traveling wheels 50 . The two traveling wheels 50 are rotatably disposed on the housing 10 .

[0085] In certain embodiments, the two running wheels 50 drive the housing 10, thereby enabling the cleaning device 100 to travel. During travel, the main brush 30 sweeps dust and debris into the suction port 102, where they are then sucked away. After the main brush 30 removes debris from the floor surface, the mopping element 20 performs mopping to remove stubborn stains. This prevents debris from affecting the mopping performance of the mopping element 20, ensuring a more effective cleaning experience and enhancing the user experience.

[0086] In some embodiments, in order to avoid interfering with the movement of the main brush 30, the main brush 30 is located between the two walking wheels 50, which can ensure the smooth movement of the main brush 30, so that the main brush 30 can sweep dust and garbage into the suction port 102, so that the dust and garbage can be sucked away through the suction port 102, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect and improving the user experience.

[0087] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, a second embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning device 100 comprising a housing 10, a first cleaning module 70, and a second cleaning module 80. The first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 are sequentially arranged in the housing 10 along the direction of travel of the housing 10. The housing 10 has an avoidance portion 103, which is located between the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 to reduce the distance between the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80.

[0088] In some embodiments, since the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 are sequentially arranged in the housing 10 along the direction of travel of the housing 10, the floor can be cleaned by the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80. Since the housing 10 has a avoidance portion 103, the avoidance portion 103 is located between the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 to reduce the distance between the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80. Therefore, space is saved by the avoidance portion 103, and the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 can be arranged adjacent to each other, so that the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 are compactly arranged. While retaining the size of the housing 10, the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80, the various components can be installed and arranged more compactly.

[0089] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 7, in certain embodiments, to facilitate the installation and placement of the second cleaning module 80, the housing 10 is provided with a receiving slot 104. The second cleaning module 80 is disposed within the receiving slot 104, which accommodates the second cleaning module 80. Furthermore, by accommodating the second cleaning module 80 in the receiving slot 104, the second cleaning module 80 is prevented from excessively encroaching upon the height space of the housing 10. This allows the height of the housing 10 to be reduced while retaining the thickness of the second cleaning module 80.

[0090] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, and 10, in some embodiments, the receiving groove 104 has an escape portion 103, which can reduce the distance between the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80, thereby saving space. This allows the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 to be positioned adjacent to each other, allowing them to be compactly arranged. While retaining the size of the housing 10, the first cleaning module 70, and the second cleaning module 80, the various components can be installed more compactly.

[0091] In some embodiments, to form the avoidance portion 103, the receiving groove 104 has a first side 1041 and two second sides 1042. The first side 1041 is located between and connected to the two second sides 1042. The first side 1041 is a straight line to form the avoidance portion 103.

[0092] In some embodiments, to ensure the cleaning effect of the second cleaning module 80, the second cleaning module 80 can be annular. To accommodate the second cleaning module 80, the receiving groove 104 is also annular. A portion of the receiving groove 104 is flattened, and the flattened portion is the linear first edge 1041, forming the avoidance portion 103.

[0093] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, and 10, in some embodiments, to further enhance the cleaning performance of the second cleaning module 80, the receiving tank 104 may be provided with a notch 1043. Portions of the second cleaning module 80 may be exposed from the receiving tank 104 via the notch 1043, thereby increasing the cleaning area of ​​the second cleaning module 80 and improving the cleaning performance of the second cleaning module 80.

[0094] In some embodiments, in order to fully accommodate the second cleaning module 80, the second side 1042 may be arc-shaped to facilitate the installation of the second cleaning module 80. At the same time, it is ensured that the second cleaning module 80 has sufficient space to move to clean the floor.

[0095] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, and 10, in certain embodiments, to enable the first cleaning module 70 to perform cleaning, the first cleaning module 70 includes a main brush cover 90 and a plurality of main brushes 30. The main brush cover 90 is disposed in the housing 10. The plurality of main brushes 30 are rotatably disposed within the main brush cover 90 and partially exposed outside the main brush cover 90.

[0096] In certain embodiments, the main brush cover 90 is disposed within the housing 10 and is therefore supported by the housing 10. Since the multiple main brushes 30 are disposed within the main brush cover 90 and partially exposed outside the main brush cover 90, the multiple main brushes 30 are supported by the main brush cover 90. Since the multiple main brushes 30 are partially exposed outside the main brush cover 90, the multiple main brushes 30 can clean the floor. Compared to a single main brush 30, the multiple main brushes 30 are more effective at removing dust and debris from the floor and more thoroughly clean hair (such as hair and pet hair), resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0097] In certain embodiments, due to the presence of multiple main brushes 30, particularly when multiple main brushes 30 are arranged sequentially along the direction of travel of the housing 10, more space may be occupied along the direction of travel of the housing 10. A relief portion 103 is provided in the housing 10 to reduce the distance between the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80. The relief portion 103 saves space, allowing the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 to be positioned adjacent to each other, resulting in a compact arrangement. This allows for a more compact installation of the various components while retaining the size of the housing 10, the first cleaning module 70, and the second cleaning module 80.

[0098] Referring to Figures 1, 7, 8, 9, and 10, in certain embodiments, to further enable a compact arrangement of the first cleaning module 80 and the second cleaning module 90, the relief portion 103 is flush with the edge of the main brush cover 90. The relief portion 103 saves space, allowing the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 to be positioned adjacent to each other, thereby enabling a compact arrangement of the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80. While retaining the size of the housing 10, the first cleaning module 70, and the second cleaning module 80, the various components can be installed more compactly.

[0099] Referring to Figures 1, 2, and 7, in certain embodiments, to further enable a compact arrangement of the first cleaning module 80 and the second cleaning module 90, the second cleaning module 80 includes a mopping member 20, with a relief portion 103 positioned between the mopping member 20 and the main brush cover 90. The relief portion 103 reduces the distance between the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80, saving space. This allows the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 to be positioned adjacent to each other, resulting in a compact arrangement. While retaining the size of the housing 10, the first cleaning module 70, and the second cleaning module 80, the various components can be installed in a more compact manner.

[0100] In certain embodiments, to further enable a compact arrangement of the first cleaning module 80 and the second cleaning module 90, the mopping element 20 is tangent to the edge of the main brush cover 90, allowing the first cleaning module 70 and the second cleaning module 80 to be positioned adjacent to each other. This allows the various components to be installed more compactly while retaining the size of the housing 10, the first cleaning module 70, and the second cleaning module 80. The mopping element 20 may be annular, and the edge of the main brush cover 90 may be linear.

[0101] In some embodiments, the main brush cover 90 may be a part of the housing 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the main brush cover 90 and the housing 10 are independent components.

[0102] A third embodiment of the present application provides a cleaning system, including a cleaning base station and the above-mentioned cleaning device 100.

[0103] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further comprises a dust box and a suction motor. The dust box is provided with a suction port 102 and an air outlet. The suction motor draws air into the dust box through the suction port 102 and exhausts it through the air outlet. This creates negative pressure within the dust box, causing the main brush to rotate, drawing dust into the dust box and storing it there.
