[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202421485917.0, filed on June 26, 2024, and also claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202421846319.1, filed on July 31, 2024, the entire disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of sweeping robots, and in particular to a mop structure, a sweeping robot, a lifting mop mechanism and a sweeping machine. BACKGROUND

[0003] In a first aspect, the sweeping robot can realize automatic cleaning, which brings great convenience to people's daily cleaning and saves the user's cleaning time.

[0004] Chinese Invention Patent No. CN117958674A discloses a cleaning robot, wherein a main cleaning assembly is movably arranged relative to a machine body, so that at least part of the main cleaning assembly can extend out of the circumferential outer edge of the machine body. A driving assembly is used to drive the cleaning head to substantially reciprocate along the target surface. The driving assembly is used to drive the cleaning head to substantially reciprocate left and right along its axial direction. The driving assembly includes a driving part, a driving wheel and a connecting rack. The driving part is arranged on the machine body, the driving wheel is connected to the driving part, and the connecting rack is connected to the fixed support. The connecting rack is engaged with the driving wheel, so that the driving part drives the fixed support to move through the driving wheel and the connecting rack. By engaging the driving wheel with the connecting rack, the driving of the fixed support is realized, which enables the fixed support to move in the extension direction of the connecting rack, thereby improving the controllability of the movement of the fixed support.

[0005] The defect of the above-mentioned patent scheme is that the mop is extended by engaging the driving wheel with the connecting rack. Due to the meshing action of the gear and the rack, the mop cannot be automatically retracted after being extended. If an obstacle is encountered, the end of the mop will have a hard collision with the obstacle, which can easily cause damage to the mop end and can also damage household items, causing customer complaints.

[0006] In a second aspect, the sweeping machine is a small household appliance that provides convenience for people to clean up. The sweeping machine has entered millions of households. The mop of the sweeping machine has a lifting type. The mop is driven by a lifting driving mechanism to control the lifting of the mop. During dust collection or cleaning, the mop is lifted by the lifting driving mechanism. During mopping, the mop is lowered by the lifting driving mechanism to contact the ground to realize the mopping function.

[0007] A cleaning robot disclosed in Chinese patent application CN116058735A includes a mop plate assembly, a driving device, a transmission device, a lifting device, etc. The transmission device is connected between the driving device and the lifting device. The lifting device includes a winding reel, a flexible connecting piece, and a one-way bearing. The winding reel is fixed to a rotating shaft. One end of the flexible connecting piece is fixed to the winding reel, and the other end of the flexible connecting piece is connected with the mop plate assembly. The flexible connecting piece can be a steel wire rope, a pull rope, or a rope made of other flexible materials. When the rotating motor drives the output end to rotate in the clockwise direction, the one-way bearing drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the winding reel rotates under the action of the rotating shaft, so that the flexible connecting piece drives the mop plate assembly to move away from the surface to be cleaned, thereby realizing the lifting function of the mop plate assembly.

[0008] In the prior art, the mop plate assembly is lifted by a cable, a pull rope, etc., which has the following defects:

[0009] 1. The cable, the pull rope, etc. can be easily damaged by friction with the surrounding wall surface, protrusions, etc., and has a short service life.

[0010] 2. When the mop plate assembly is lifted, the cable, the pull rope, etc. are used to pull the mop plate assembly, and the mop plate assembly has no support below, so the gravity of the mop plate assembly acts on the cable, the pull rope, etc., which can be easily damaged by fatigue, affecting the service life.

[0089] The specific embodiments of the present application are further illustrated below with reference to the drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar components. It should be noted that the words "front", "back", "left", "right", "up", and "down" used in the following description are used with reference to the directions in the drawings, and the words "inner" and "outer" respectively refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a particular component.

[0090] As shown in FIGS. 1-16, the mop structure provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application includes a housing 1-1, a first mop assembly 1-2, a first elastic driving member 1-3, and a first reset mechanism 1-4.

[0091] The bottom of the housing 1-1 has a receiving groove 1-111, and the first mop assembly 1-2 includes a first mounting bracket 1-21 and a first mop 1-22 connected to the first mounting bracket 1-21.

[0092] The first mounting bracket 1-21 is in sliding connection with the housing 1-1, and the first mop 1-22 is slidably arranged in the receiving groove 1-111.

[0093] The first elastic driving member 1-3 is connected between the housing 1-1 and the first mounting bracket 1-21, and is used to drive the first mop assembly 1-2 to move so that one end of the first mop 1-22 extends out of the receiving groove 1-111.

[0094] The first reset mechanism 1-4 includes a first motor 1-41, a first cable 1-43, and a first turntable 1-42 mounted on the motor shaft of the first motor 1-41 and used to wind and unwind the first cable 1-43.

[0095] The first motor 1-41 is connected with the housing 1-1, and the first cable 1-43 is connected between the first turntable 1-42 and the first mounting bracket 1-21.

[0096] The mop structure provided by the first aspect of the application comprises a shell 1-1, a first mop assembly 1-2, a first elastic driving member 1-3, and a first reset mechanism 1-4. The shell 1-1 can be assembled with or integrated into the shell of the robot cleaner. The bottom of the shell 1-1 has a receiving groove 1-111 extending along the left-right direction of the robot cleaner, i.e., arranged perpendicularly to the advancing direction of the robot cleaner. Specifically, the receiving groove 1-111 is arranged at the bottom of a shell body 1-11. The receiving groove 1-111 is used to receive a first mop 1-22 of the first mop assembly 1-2. The first mop assembly 1-2 comprises a first mounting bracket 1-21 and the first mop 1-22, and the first mop 1-22 is connected to the first mounting bracket 1-21. The first mop 1-22 is preferably a roller mop, which can be received in the receiving groove 1-111. The connecting portion of the first mounting bracket 1-21 is in sliding connection with the shell 1-1, and the first mop 1-22 can move and stretch along the receiving groove 1-111. In the normal state, the first mop 1-22 is received in the receiving groove 1-111, and the two ends of the first mop 1-22 do not extend out of the receiving groove 1-111. When it is necessary to clean the corners, the first mop 1-22 can be driven to move towards one end of the receiving groove 1-111, so that one end of the first mop 1-22 extends out of the receiving groove 1-111, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the corner area.

[0097] The first elastic driving member 1-3 is connected between the shell 1-1 and the first mounting bracket 1-21, and is used to drive the first mop assembly 1-2 to move so that one end of the first mop 1-22 extends out of the receiving groove 1-111. The first elastic driving member 1-3 can be a spring or a spring piece. As shown in FIG. 11, one end or both ends of the first elastic driving member 1-3 is / are provided with a connecting frame 1-31 for connection with the shell 1-1 and / or the first mounting bracket 1-21. As shown in FIG. 11, if the left end of the first elastic driving member 1-3 is connected to the shell 1-1, and the connecting frame 1-31 at the right end of the first elastic driving member 1-3 is connected to the first mounting bracket 1-21, then the first elastic driving member 1-3 is an expansion spring, which is used to push the first mounting bracket 1-21 and the first mop 1-22 to extend to the right. If the left end of the first elastic driving member 1-3 is connected to the first mounting bracket 1-21, and the connecting frame 1-31 at the right end of the first elastic driving member 1-3 is connected to the shell 1-1, then the first elastic driving member 1-3 is a compression spring, which is used to pull the first mounting bracket 1-21 and the first mop 1-22 to extend to the right.

[0098] The first reset mechanism 1-4 comprises a first motor 1-41, a first rotating disc 1-42 and a first cable 1-43. The first motor 1-41 is connected to the housing 1-1. The first rotating disc 1-42 is connected to the motor shaft of the first motor 1-41. The first cable 1-43 is connected between the first rotating disc 1-42 and the first mounting bracket 1-21. The first motor 1-41 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor. The first rotating disc 1-42 retracts and releases the first cable 1-43 to pull back the first mounting bracket 1-21 and drive the first mop 1-22 to reset, and also to release the first mounting bracket 1-21, so that the first mop 1-22 extends under the action of the first elastic driving member 1-3.

[0099] In the first aspect of the present application, the first reset mechanism 1-4 is connected between the first mounting bracket 1-21 of the first mop assembly 1-2 and the first cable 1-43. In the default state, the first motor 1-41 drives the first rotating disc 1-42 to rotate in the forward direction to retract the first cable 1-43, thereby overcoming the force of the first elastic driving member 1-3, so that the first mop 1-22 is in the initial position and is accommodated in the accommodation groove 1-111 without extending out of the housing 1-1. When the first mop 1-22 needs to extend to clean the corners of the wall, the first motor 1-41 drives the first rotating disc 1-42 to rotate in the reverse direction to release the first cable 1-43, so that the first mop 1-22 extends out of the housing 1-1 under the action of the first elastic driving member 1-3 to clean the corners of the wall. When the first mop 1-22 is in the extended state, the first elastic driving member 1-3 mainly drives the first mop 1-22 to extend, and the first cable 1-43 is a flexible connection and does not hinder the extension and transverse movement of the first mop 1-22. Therefore, when the end of the extended first mop 1-22 encounters an obstacle, it can automatically retract and compress the first elastic driving member 1-3, thereby avoiding the obstacle and avoiding hard collision between the end of the first mop 1-22 and the obstacle, reducing the wear of the first mop 1-22, and also avoiding damage to household items, thereby improving the user experience.

[0100] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6-7 and 16, one end of the first mop 1-22 is provided with a first mop end plate 1-23, and one end of the accommodation groove 1-111 is provided with a baffle 1-112 for stopping the first mop end plate 1-23. The first mop end plate 1-23 is slidably arranged outside the baffle 1-112.

[0101] In this embodiment, the first mop 1-22 is provided with a first mop end plate 1-23 at one end. One end of the first mop end plate 1-23 is connected to the first mounting bracket 1-21, and the other end of the first mop end plate 1-23 covers one end of the first mop 1-22, and the other end of the first mop end plate 1-23 extends out of the first mop 1-22 to act as a baffle.

[0102] One end of the receiving groove 1-111 is provided with a baffle 1-112 for stopping the first mop end plate 1-23. The baffle 1-112 can be a flat plate or an L-shaped plate. The baffle 1-112 is connected with the shell main body 1-11.

[0103] The first mop end plate 1-23 is slidably arranged outside the baffle 1-112. When the first mop 1-22 is driven to retract into the receiving groove 1-111, the baffle 1-112 stops the first mop end plate 1-23. When the first mop 1-22 is driven to extend to one end of the receiving groove 1-111, the first mop end plate 1-23 slides outside the baffle 1-112.

[0104] In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7-9 and 16, the first mounting bracket 1-21 includes a first mop bracket 1-211 connected with the first mop 1-22, a sliding bracket 1-212 slidably connected with the shell 1-1, and a connecting bracket 1-213 connected between the sliding bracket 1-212 and the first mop bracket 1-211.
