DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0055] 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.
[0056] 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.
[0057] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 18 and 19. The embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a cleaning base station 1000, which includes: a base 10, a cleaning component 180, a scraping and cleaning member 30, a transmission device and a drive component. The cleaning component 180 is connected to the base 10. The scraping and cleaning member 30 is installed on the cleaning component 180 and is used to clean the cleaning component 180. The transmission device is connected to the scraping and cleaning member 30 and is used to move the scraping and cleaning member 30. The drive component is provided on the base 10 and is connected to the transmission device. Among them, along the height direction of the base 10, the projection of the drive component on the base 10 is staggered with the projection of the cleaning component 180 on the base 10.
[0058] According to one or more embodiments of the present application, the cleaning base station 1000 is provided with a cleaning assembly 180 connected to the base 10; a scraping cleaning member 30 is mounted on the cleaning assembly 180 and is used to clean the cleaning assembly 180; a transmission device is connected to the scraping cleaning member 30 and is used to move the scraping cleaning member 30; and a drive assembly is provided on the base 10 and connected to the transmission device. Therefore, when cleaning the cleaning assembly 180 is to be cleaned, the drive assembly transmits power to the scraping cleaning member 30 via the transmission device to drive the scraping cleaning member 30. During the operation of the scraping cleaning member 30, the scraping cleaning member 30 can clean the cleaning assembly 180, promptly removing dirt from the cleaning assembly 180 and preventing dirt from remaining inside the cleaning assembly 180 and forming stubborn stains. This ensures that the cleaning assembly 180 is kept clean, thereby reducing the user's cleaning workload and improving the user experience. Because the projection of the drive assembly on the base 10 is offset from the projection of the cleaning assembly 180 on the base 10 along the height direction of the base 10, the projection of the drive assembly on the base 10 is staggered. Therefore, the driving component can be prevented from encroaching on the installation space of the cleaning component 180 in the height direction of the base 10. When the cleaning component 180 is installed on the base 10, the height of the cleaning component 180 on the base 10 can be lowered to facilitate the cleaning equipment to move above the cleaning component 180.
[0059] In some embodiments, the cleaning device may be a floor scrubber, a sweeping robot, a sweeping machine, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0060] Referring to Figures 2, 3, and 19, in certain embodiments, a cleaning assembly 180 includes a cleaning tray 20 and cleaning ribs 160. The cleaning tray 20 is detachably connected to the base 10. The cleaning ribs 160 are detachably connected to the cleaning tray 20 and are disposed above the scraping cleaning member 30. The cleaning ribs 160 are used to clean the cleaning element of the cleaning device, which may be a mop.
[0061] In certain embodiments, the scraping cleaning member 30 can be used to clean the cleaning tray 20. While the scraping cleaning member 30 is in operation, it can clean the cleaning tray 20, promptly removing dirt from the cleaning tray 20 and preventing dirt from remaining in the cleaning tray 20 and forming stubborn stains. This ensures the cleanliness of the cleaning tray 20, thereby reducing the user's cleaning workload and improving the user experience. When the cleaning tray 20 needs to be deeply cleaned and / or the cleaning base station 1000 needs to be repaired, the cleaning tray 20 can be removed from the base 10, and the cleaning ribs 160 can then be removed from the cleaning tray 20 to achieve a deep clean of the cleaning tray 20.
[0062] In some embodiments, when the cleaning device moves onto the base 10, the cleaning ribs 160 can squeeze the cleaning element of the cleaning device, thereby promptly removing debris from the cleaning element of the cleaning device during the cleaning process of the cleaning element rotating, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the cleaning element of the cleaning device. The cleaning device can be a floor scrubber, a robot vacuum, a sweeper, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The cleaning element can be a mop.
[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 and 18. In some embodiments, the cleaning tray 20 is provided with a cleaning groove 201, and the scraping cleaning member 30 can contact the bottom wall and / or side wall of the cleaning groove 201. The moving scraping cleaning member 30 can clean the bottom wall and / or side wall of the cleaning groove 201, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning groove 201.
[0064] Referring to Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 19, and 30, in certain embodiments, to achieve power transmission, a transmission device includes a first transmission joint 40 and a second transmission joint 50. The first transmission joint 40 is connected to the scraping and cleaning element 30. The second transmission joint 50 is disposed on the base 10 and is connected to the first transmission joint 40 and the drive assembly. The first transmission joint 40 is disposed on the cleaning tray 20 or the cleaning rib 160.
[0065] Referring to Figures 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, in certain embodiments, to enable the scraping and cleaning element 30 to operate, the first transmission joint 40 includes a first transmission member 401 and a first connecting member 402. The first transmission member 401 is disposed on the cleaning tray 20 or the cleaning ribs 160 and is detachably connected to the second transmission joint 50. The first connecting member 402 is connected to the first transmission member 401 and is also connected to the scraping and cleaning element 30.
[0066] In some embodiments, after the first transmission member 401 is installed on the cleaning tray 20 or the cleaning rib 160, the cleaning rib 160 is then installed on the cleaning tray 20. When the cleaning tray 20 is connected to the base 10, the first transmission member 401 can be connected to the second transmission joint 50. When the second transmission joint 50 transmits power to the first transmission member 401, the first transmission member 401 transmits power to the scraping cleaning member 30 through the first connecting member 402, thereby causing the scraping cleaning member 30 to operate. During the operation of the scraping cleaning member 30, the scraping cleaning member 30 can clean the cleaning tray 20, and can promptly remove dirt in the cleaning tray 20, preventing dirt from remaining in the cleaning tray 20 and forming stubborn stains. This ensures the cleanliness of the cleaning tray 20, thereby reducing the user's cleaning work and improving the user experience. When the cleaning tray 20 needs to be deeply cleaned and / or the cleaning base station 1000 needs to be repaired, the cleaning tray 20 can be removed from the base 10. When the cleaning tray 20 is separated from the base 10, the first transmission member 401 can be separated from the second transmission joint 50, preventing the first transmission member 401 and the second transmission joint 50 from interfering with the removal and installation of the cleaning tray 20 from the base 10. This facilitates the removal of the cleaning tray 20 from the base 10 and allows for deep cleaning of the cleaning tray 20 in a location with ample operating space, further ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning tray 20. Moreover, after the cleaning tray 20 is removed from the base 10, components within the base 10 that were obscured by the cleaning tray 20 are exposed, facilitating maintenance and improving work efficiency.
[0067] Since the scraping and cleaning member 30 may wear out after being used for a period of time, in some embodiments, the first connecting member 402 is detachably connected to the scraping and cleaning member 30. When the scraping and cleaning member 30 needs to be replaced or repaired, the worn or old scraping and cleaning member 30 is removed from the first connecting member 402 and the repaired or replaced scraping and cleaning member 30 is installed on the first connecting member 402. There is no need to remove the cleaning tray 20 from the base 10, which is simple to operate, convenient for replacement or repair, and improves efficiency.
[0068] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 402 can be connected to the scraping and cleaning member 30 by a buckle. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting member 402 can be connected to the scraping and cleaning member 30 by a bolt or a connecting pin.
[0069] Referring to Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 14, in certain embodiments, the cleaning tray 20 includes a first stopper 202 to limit the radial position of the first transmission member 401. The first transmission member 401 is disposed within the first stopper 202. The first connector 402 extends through the first stopper 202 and is connected to the scraping and cleaning member 30. The inner wall of the first stopper 202 limits the radial position of the first transmission member 401. This prevents the position of the first transmission member 401 from changing during the movement of the scraping and cleaning member 30 driven by the first transmission member 401 via the first connector 402. This ensures the stability of the movement of the scraping and cleaning member 30 driven by the first transmission member 401 via the first connector 402, and also ensures the cleaning effect of the scraping and cleaning member 30 on the cleaning tray 20. In this case, the first transmission joint 40 is disposed within the cleaning tray 20.
[0070] Please refer to Figures 5 and 9. In some embodiments, in order to achieve sealing, a first sealing member 80 is provided between the scraping and cleaning member 30 and the first limiting member 202. This can prevent the sewage in the cleaning tray 20 from leaking through the gap between the scraping and cleaning member 30 and the first limiting member 202, prevent the sewage from corroding the first transmission member 401 and the second transmission joint 50, ensure the service life of the first transmission member 401 and the second transmission joint 50, and at the same time, improve the user experience.
[0071] 5 and 9 , in certain embodiments, to limit the position of the first transmission member 401 in the axial direction of the first transmission member 401, the first limiting member 202 includes a first chamber 2021 and a second chamber 2022 communicating with the first chamber 2021 along the axial direction of the first transmission member 401. In certain embodiments, the diameter of the first chamber 2021 is greater than the diameter of the second chamber 2022, and the distance between the first chamber 2021 and the second transmission joint 50 is smaller than the distance between the second chamber 2022 and the second transmission joint 50.
[0072] Referring to Figures 5 and 9 , in certain embodiments, the cleaning base station 1000 further includes a second connecting member 90 and a second limiting member 100. The second connecting member 90 is connected to the first transmission member 401. The second limiting member 100 is movably disposed within the first chamber 2021 and is connected to the second connecting member 90. The outer diameter of the second limiting member 100 is larger than the diameter of the second chamber 2022.
[0073] Referring to Figures 5 and 9, in certain embodiments, during the operation of the scraping and cleaning member 30 driven by the first transmission member 401 via the first connecting member 402, the second limiting member 100 is limited by the wall of the second chamber 2022, thereby preventing the first transmission member 401 from axially disengaging from the first limiting member 202, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the first transmission member 401. Furthermore, the second limiting member 100 is movably disposed within the first chamber 2021. That is, during the operation of the first transmission member 401, the second limiting member 100, via the second connecting member 90, moves in conjunction with the operation of the first transmission member 401, thereby avoiding interference with the operation of the first transmission member 401 and ensuring the stability of the operation of the scraping and cleaning member 30 driven by the first transmission member 401 via the first connecting member 402.
[0074] In some embodiments, the second connecting member 90 is disposed in the second chamber 2022, and the second connecting member 90 is limited by the inner wall of the second chamber 2022. In the process of the first transmission member 401 driving the scraping cleaning member 30 through the first connecting member 402, the second connecting member 90 is prevented from being separated from the first transmission member 401, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the second connecting member 90.
[0075] In some embodiments, to avoid interfering with the movement of the first transmission member 401, the second connecting member 90 may be movably disposed within the second chamber 2022. That is, while the first transmission member 401 drives the scraping and cleaning member 30 through the first connecting member 402, the second connecting member 90 may move along with the movement of the first transmission member 401, thereby ensuring the stability of the scraping and cleaning member 30.
[0076] In some embodiments, to facilitate connection and separation of the first transmission member 401 and the second transmission joint 50, the second connection member 90 can be snap-engaged with the first transmission member 401. That is, one of the second connection member 90 and the first transmission member 401 is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a slot. When the first transmission member 401 is connected to the second transmission joint 50, the buckle is snapped into the slot, and when the first transmission member 401 is separated from the second transmission joint 50, the buckle is separated from the slot.
[0077] In some embodiments, the second connecting member 90 may be provided with a buckle, and the first transmission member 401 may be provided with a slot. Of course, in other embodiments, the first transmission member 401 may be provided with a buckle, and the second connecting member 90 may be provided with a slot.
[0078] Referring to Figures 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24, in certain embodiments, to achieve the connection between the first connecting member 402 and the scraping and cleaning member 30, the first connecting member 402 includes a gear set 4021, a connecting rod set 4022, and a worm gear set 4023. The gear set 4021 is disposed within the cleaning rib 160 and connected to the first transmission member 401. The connecting rod set 4022 is disposed within the cleaning rib 160 and connected to the gear set 4021. The worm gear set 4023 is disposed within the cleaning rib 160 and connected to the connecting rod set 4022. The worm gear set 4023 is connected to the scraping and cleaning member 30. In this case, the first transmission joint 40 is disposed within the cleaning rib 160.
[0079] In some embodiments, the cleaning rib 160 defines a receiving groove 1601 , and the gear set 4021 , the connecting rod set 4022 , and the worm gear set 4023 are all disposed in the receiving groove 1601 .
[0080] In certain embodiments, when the first transmission member 401 is in operation, the first transmission member 401 drives the connecting rod assembly 4022 to operate via the gear assembly 4021. The connecting rod assembly 4022 transmits power to the worm gear assembly 4023, which drives the scraping and cleaning member 30 to operate. During the operation of the scraping and cleaning member 30, the scraping and cleaning member 30 can clean the washing tray 20, thereby promptly removing dirt from the washing tray 20 and preventing dirt from remaining in the washing tray 20 and forming stubborn stains. This ensures the cleanliness of the washing tray 20, thereby reducing the user's cleaning work and improving the user experience.
[0081] 24 and 25 , in certain embodiments, the gear set 4021 includes a first gear 40211 connected to the first transmission member 401 and a second gear 40212 meshed with the first gear 40211. The connecting rod set 4022 includes a first connecting rod 40221 connected to the second gear 40212, a first bevel gear 40222 connected to the end of the first connecting rod 40221 facing away from the second gear 40212, a second bevel gear 40223 meshed with the first bevel gear 40222, and a second connecting rod 40224 connected to the second bevel gear 40223. The worm gear set 4023 includes a worm 40231 connected to the second connecting rod 40224 and a worm wheel 40232 meshed with the worm 40231.
