[0057] The exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the specific description is only for the purpose of teaching one skilled in the art how to implement the present application, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
[0058] Referring to Figure 21, the present application provides a scrubber, which can be a hand-push scrubber. Of course, the present application does not limit the specific form of the scrubber.
[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 3 and 8, the scrubber can include a base 100, a first brush disc assembly 200, a second brush disc assembly 300, a rotating support 620 and an operating lever 500.
[0060] The first brush disc assembly 200 is arranged on the base 100, and the first brush disc assembly 200 comprises a first brush disc 220. The second brush disc assembly 300 is arranged on the base 100, and the second brush disc assembly 300 comprises a second brush disc 310. The rotation directions of the first brush disc 220 and the second brush disc 310 are opposite, and the first brush disc 220 and the second brush disc 310 are configured to be inclined to the surface 700 to be cleaned when the scrubber is in a straight-line advancing state.
[0061] The rotating bracket 620 is rotatably connected to the base 100, and the rotation axis of the rotating bracket 620 is perpendicular to the base 100. The operating rod 500 is connected to the rotating bracket 620 to be rotatably connected to the base 100.
[0062] As shown in FIG. 1, taking the first brush disc 220 on the right side as an example, the pressure between the left side 2201 of the first brush disc 220 and the surface 700 to be cleaned is large, and the pressure between the right side 2202 of the first brush disc 220 and the surface 700 to be cleaned is small. In combination with the second brush disc 310 on the left side which has the opposite rotation direction, linear forward or backward propulsion force can be generated by the brush discs to realize straight-line advancing or retreating.
[0063] As shown in FIG. 2, when the brush discs are parallel to the surface 700 to be cleaned, the pressure between the left side 2201 of the first brush disc 220 and the surface 700 to be cleaned is the same as the pressure between the right side 2202 of the first brush disc 220 and the surface 700 to be cleaned. The second brush disc 310 has the same effect, so that the linear propulsion forces in the advancing direction and the retreating direction are offset, and the scrubber is facilitated to keep running in place.
[0064] When steering is desired, on the one hand, the pressure of the brush disc on one side on the ground can be increased, so that the frictional forces between the two brush discs and the ground are different, the linear propulsion forces generated are different, and steering is realized. Referring to FIG. 15, for example, more pressure of the brush disc on the right side towards the surface 700 to be cleaned is applied, and the scrubber can turn right. Referring to FIG. 16, more pressure of the brush disc on the left side towards the surface 700 to be cleaned is applied, and the scrubber can turn left.
[0065] On the other hand, the brush disc on one side can also be made horizontal to the surface 700 to be cleaned, and the brush disc on the other side is kept inclined to realize steering. Referring to FIG. 15, for example, the brush disc on the right side is made horizontal, and the brush disc on the left side is kept inclined, and the linear propulsion force in the forward direction is still generated, so that the scrubber turns right. Similarly, referring to FIG. 16, the brush disc on the right side can be made horizontal, and the brush disc on the left side is kept inclined, so that the scrubber turns left.
[0066] Therefore, the application can make the two brush discs generate linear propulsion forces respectively by tilting the brush discs, and the linear propulsion forces of the two brush discs can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure of the single brush disc on the ground or the tilting degree, so as to realize the steering of the scrubber. In addition, the rotation connection between the base where the brush disc is located and the operating rod held by the operator can facilitate the flexibility and cleaning efficiency, especially in a narrow working environment. The second brush disc assembly 300 can be the same as the first brush disc assembly 200, and the first brush disc assembly 200 will be taken as an example for description hereinafter.
[0067] In an embodiment of the application, the first brush disc assembly 200 can be arranged on the base 100, and the tilting angle between the first brush disc assembly 200 and the base 100 is fixed. The connection position of the operating rod 500 and the rotating bracket 620 can be located between the first brush disc assembly 200 and the second brush disc assembly 300, so that the force moment for tilting the base 100 can be applied by applying force to the operating rod 500, for example, to increase the pressure between the first brush disc assembly 200, the first brush disc 220 and the surface to be cleaned 700, so that the linear propulsion forces generated by the first brush disc 220 and the second brush disc 310 are different, and the steering of the scrubbing is realized.
[0068] In an embodiment of the application, the first brush disc assembly 200 is hinged to the base 100, and the height of the inner side of the first brush disc 220 is lower than that of the outer side when the scrubber is in a straight line running state. That is, by pressing the outer side of the brush disc, a force towards the surface to be cleaned 700 can be applied to the brush disc, and / or the brush disc is adjusted from the tilting state to the horizontal state, so that the linear propulsion forces generated by the first brush disc 220 and the second brush disc 310 are different, and the steering of the scrubbing is realized.
[0069] In an embodiment of the application, referring to FIG. 6, the end (second end 232) of the first brush disc assembly 200 away from the second brush disc assembly 300 is provided with a second elastic member 140 between the base 100, and the scrubber comprises a pressing bracket 150 hinged to the base 100, and the pressing bracket 150 comprises a pressing bracket pressing portion 151 which presses against the end of the first brush disc assembly 200 away from the second brush disc assembly 300.
[0070] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 17, the scrubber comprises a fixed support 610 comprising a concave round structure 611, the base 100 comprises a convex round structure 170, the concave round structure 611 of the fixed support 610 is arranged on the convex round structure 170 of the base 100 to form a hinge. And when the part of the fixed support 610 other than the concave round structure 611 is parallel to the part of the base 100 other than the convex round structure 170, there is a gap C between the fixed support 610 and the base 100, so that the fixed support 610 and the base 100 can form a hinged relationship. Of course, the fixed support 610 can be rotated in the left-right direction (B direction shown in FIG. 4).
[0071] The pressing support 150 is fixed to the fixed support 610, so that the pressing support 150 and the base form a hinged relationship. Of course, the pressing support 150 and the fixed support 610 can also be formed as the same structure. The hinge formed by the concave round and the convex round is only an example, and the specific hinge mode of the pressing support 150 is not limited in the application.
[0072] In an embodiment of the application, referring to FIG. 6, the operating rod 500 is hinged to the rotating support 620, the rotating support 620 is connected to the fixed support 610, and in the orthographic projection of the surface to be cleaned 700 when the scrubber is in a straight-line advancing state, the angle between the rotating axis of the operating rod 500 relative to the rotating support 620 and the line connecting the first brush disc assembly 200 and the second brush disc assembly 300 is not more than 10°. For example, the angle can be equal to 0°, so that the rotating axis of the operating rod 500 relative to the rotating support 620 is parallel to the line connecting the two brush disc assemblies. Thus, the pressure towards the surface to be cleaned 700 can be applied to the first brush disc assembly 200 by the operating rod 500, the fixed support 610 and the pressing support 150. And / or, the first brush disc 220 is adjusted from the inclined state to the horizontal state, so that the linear advancing force generated by the first brush disc 220 and the second brush disc 310 is different, and the steering of the scrubbing is realized.
[0073] In an embodiment of the application, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 25, the first brush disc assembly 200 is hinged to the base 100, and the scrubber comprises a telescopic rod 930 hinged to one end of the first brush disc assembly 200 or one end of the first brush disc 220, and the inclination degree of the first brush disc 220 can be adjusted by the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 930. The telescopic rod 930 can be driven by a device such as a hydraulic cylinder.
[0074] In an embodiment of the application, the operating rod 500 can also be fixedly connected to the rotating support 620. The fixed connection can facilitate the operating rod 500 to apply force to the brush disc assembly on one side to realize the leveling of the unilateral brush disc.
[0075] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 19, the operating lever 500 can include two handles 530 extending radially outwardly along the operating lever 500. A user can press a certain handle 530 downwardly to apply a force to the pressing support 150 through the operating lever 500, thereby achieving steering of the scrubber, which is simple to operate and good in user experience. Of course, the handles 530 do not have to extend radially, but can be inclined to the radial direction. The handles 530 can also be formed in various forms such as grips at the tail end of the operating lever 500.
[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 26, 27 and 28, the rotating support 620 can rotate relative to the fixed support 610. For example, the scrubber can include the fixed support 610 connected to the base 100, the fixed support 610 including a cylindrical fixed support first sleeve 613 and a semi-cylindrical fixed support second sleeve 614 located radially outwardly of the fixed support first sleeve 613. The rotating support 620 includes a cylindrical rotating support first sleeve 622 and a cylindrical rotating support second sleeve 623 located radially outwardly of the rotating support first sleeve 622. The rotating support first sleeve 622 is rotatably arranged in the fixed support first sleeve 613, and the rotating support second sleeve 623 is arranged in the fixed support second sleeve 614 and located radially outwardly of the fixed support first sleeve 613.
[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 19, 20, 26, 27 and 28, the scrubber includes a reset elastic member 630 contacting the rotating support 620 and the base 100, which drives the base 100 to reset relative to the rotating support 620 by elastic force after the base 100 rotates relative to the rotating support 620.
[0078] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 26, 27 and 28, the reset elastic member 630 drives the base 100 to reset relative to the rotating support 620 by elastic force after the base 100 rotates relative to the rotating support 620. For example, the scrubber includes the reset elastic member 630, which is a torsion spring. The torsion spring can include a first elastic arm 631 and a second elastic arm 632 extending radially outwardly along the rotation axis of the rotating support 620. The torsion spring is arranged between the fixed support first sleeve 613 and the rotating support second sleeve 623, and the rotating support second sleeve 623 is provided with a first extension opening 6231 and a second extension opening 6232, the first elastic arm 631 extending out of the rotating support 620 from the first extension opening 6231, and the second elastic arm 632 extending out of the rotating support 620 from the second extension opening 6232.
[0079] In the initial state where the rotating bracket 620 and the fixed bracket 610 are not relatively rotated, the first elastic arm 631 and the second elastic arm 632 are both abutted against the second sleeve 614 of the fixed bracket 610. In the rotated state where the rotating bracket 620 and the fixed bracket 610 are relatively rotated, one of the first elastic arm 631 and the second elastic arm 632 is abutted against the rotating bracket 620 and not abutted against the second sleeve 614 of the fixed bracket 610, and the other is always abutted against the second sleeve 614 of the fixed bracket 610. In this way, the reset after rotation can be realized.
[0080] In another embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 20, the rotating bracket 620 comprises a rotating bracket abutment 621, and the fixed bracket 610 comprises a fixed bracket abutment 612, and the rotating bracket abutment 621 is located radially inside the fixed bracket abutment 612.
[0081] In the initial state where the rotating bracket 620 and the fixed bracket 610 are not relatively rotated, the first elastic arm 631 and the second elastic arm 632 are both abutted against the fixed bracket abutment 612, and in the rotated state where the rotating bracket 620 and the fixed bracket 610 are relatively rotated, one of the first elastic arm 631 and the second elastic arm 632 is abutted against the rotating bracket abutment 621 and not abutted against the fixed bracket abutment 612. The other is always abutted against the fixed bracket abutment 612.
[0082] The cross sections of the rotating bracket abutment 621 and the fixed bracket abutment 612 can both be semicircular rings. The fixed bracket 610 drives, for example, the first elastic arm 631 to rotate after rotation. The second elastic arm 632 changes from being abutted against both the rotating bracket abutment 621 and the fixed bracket abutment 612 to being abutted against only the rotating bracket abutment 621. When the external force applied to the scrubber is removed, the two elastic arms of the torsional spring drive the rotating bracket 620 and the fixed bracket 610 to reset. In the rotation axis of the rotating bracket 620, the torsional spring can be located between the rotating bracket and the fixed bracket 610, facilitating the installation and positioning of the torsional spring.
[0083] Of course, the reset elastic member 630 can also be in other forms. In an embodiment of the present application, the reset elastic member 630 is a cylindrical spring (not shown in the figure). In the tangential direction of the fixed bracket 610, the two ends of the spring are connected to the fixed bracket 610 and the rotating bracket 620 respectively, so that the reset after relative rotation can be realized due to the spring. The present application does not limit the setting form of the reset elastic member 630. The reset elastic member 630 is not limited to be a torsional spring.
[0084] When the steering is finished and the user does not apply force to the operating lever 500, the operating lever 500 and the base 100 can be automatically reset through the reset elastic member 630. For example, referring to FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, after the left or right turning of the chassis, the cleaning head 800 where the base 100 is located and the operating lever 500 can be automatically reset.
[0085] Of course, the operator and the operating rod 500 can be stationary, and the cleaning head 800 can be returned to normal. Alternatively, the cleaning head can provide a tendency for the operator and the operating rod 500 to change position, and the operator can adjust the position under the guidance of the elastic force to reset the operating rod 500 and the cleaning head 800. Compared with the connection mode between the operating rod 500 and the cleaning head 800 through the universal joint, the scrubber provided by the application is convenient to turn, and the cleaning head 800 is not easily deviated, and the advancing direction is easier to control.
[0086] In an embodiment of the application, referring to FIGS. 26, 27 and 28, the rotating bracket 620 includes a receiving portion 624 at the top of the rotating bracket first sleeve 622, the scrubber includes a cam 510 connected to the operating rod 500, and the cam 510 is rotationally arranged in the receiving portion 624. The receiving portion 624 is provided with a receiving portion communication opening 6241 communicating with the rotating bracket first sleeve 622, the scrubber includes a driving member 410 arranged in the fixed bracket first sleeve 613, and one end of the driving member 410 abuts against the cam 510 through the receiving portion communication opening 6241. The functions of the driving member 410 and the cam 510 will be described later.
[0087] In an embodiment of the application, referring to FIGS. 26 and 28, the fixed bracket 610 includes an axial positioning plate 615, and in the height direction, the rotating bracket 620 abuts against the top of the axial positioning plate 615. The other end of the rotating bracket first sleeve 622 away from the operating rod 500 is provided with an external thread, the scrubber includes an axial positioning member 640 provided with an internal thread, the axial positioning member 640 is threadedly connected to the other end of the rotating bracket first sleeve 622, and the axial positioning member 640 abuts against the bottom of the axial positioning plate 615. Through this embodiment, the axial positioning between the fixed bracket 610 and the rotating bracket 620 can be achieved.
[0088] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the first brush disc assembly 200 can further include a first brush disc motor 210, a motor bracket 240 and a motor bracket cover 250, and the first brush disc motor 210 can be hingedly connected to the base 100 through the motor bracket 240 and the motor bracket cover 250. For example, the motor bracket 240 can include a cylindrical hinge column 241 arranged in the front-rear direction (A direction) of the scrubber, and a corresponding semicylindrical recess 160 can be arranged on the base 100, and the motor bracket cover 250 can rotationally limit the cylindrical hinge column 241 in the cylindrical recess. When the end of the first brush disc motor 210 is moved by the first connecting rod 420, for example, the first brush disc motor 210 can swing around the hinge column 241 as a fulcrum, so that the inclination of the first brush disc assembly 200 can be adjusted.
[0089] Referring to FIG. 4, the motor bracket 240 can further include a motor bracket connecting end 242 located inside the motor bracket 240 in the direction of the connection of the first brush disc assembly 200 and the second brush disc assembly 300 (or the left-right direction, B direction) and a motor bracket pressing end 243 located outside the motor bracket 240. The first connecting rod 420 (to be described later) can be connected to the motor bracket connecting end 242, and the motor bracket pressing end 243 can be used to press against the second elastic member 140.
[0090] The first brush disc assembly 200 can further include a brush disc connector 260, and the output shaft of the first brush disc motor 210 can be connected to the brush disc connector 260, and the brush disc connector 260 is connected to the first brush disc 220.
[0091] The inclination of the first brush disc assembly 200 and the second brush disc assembly 300 can be adjusted at the same time, so that they are leveled at the same time, so that the scrubber can run in place.
[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 3, the first brush disc assembly 200 and the second brush disc assembly 300 can be hinged to the base 100, so that the brush disc assembly can rotate relative to the base 100.
[0093] The scrubber can further include a first connecting rod 420, a second connecting rod 430, and a driving member 410. The first connecting rod 420 can be connected (including hinged, fixedly connected, etc., to be described later) to the first brush disc assembly 200, and the second connecting rod 430 can be connected (including hinged, fixedly connected, etc., to be described later) to the second brush disc assembly 300. The driving member 410 can synchronously rotate the first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430, and the brush disc of the first brush disc assembly 200 and the brush disc of the second brush disc assembly 300 can be symmetrically inclined to the surface to be cleaned 700 or parallel to the surface to be cleaned 700 with the driving member 410 as the axis of symmetry.
[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 4, the first connecting rod 420 is connected to the first brush disc motor 210, the first brush disc motor 210 is connected to the first brush disc 220, and the first brush disc 220 can be perpendicular to the axis of the first brush disc assembly 200.
[0095] The present application adjusts the inclination of the brush disc by adjusting the inclination of the brush disc motor, rather than directly applying force to the soft material brush disc to adjust the pressure between the brush disc and the ground when the brush disc motor is fixed. The connection between the brush disc and the brush disc motor in this adjustment method is more stable, which is beneficial to increase the service life of the scrubber.
[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 6, the first brush disc assembly 200 can include a first end 231 close to the second brush disc assembly 300 and a second end 232 away from the second brush disc assembly 300. The first connecting rod 420 is connected to the first end 231, and the second end 232 can be higher than the first end 231 or flush with the first end 231.
[0097] For example, the second end 232 is higher than the first end 231 in the normal travel state of the scrubber. When it is required to run in place, the second end 232 is made flush with the first end 231 to achieve the effect that the first brush disc 220 is parallel to the surface to be cleaned 700.
[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 6, one end (left end) of the first connecting rod 420 is hinged to the driving member 410, and the other end (right end) of the first connecting rod 420 is hinged to the first end 231 of the first brush disc assembly 200. The base 100 is provided with a connecting rod support 110, and the middle part of the first connecting rod 420 is hinged to the base 100 through the connecting rod support 110. Referring to FIG. 7, a first elastic member 120 can be provided between the driving member 410 and the base 100 to facilitate the resetting of the driving member 410.
[0099] When the driving member 410 is pressed down, the first connecting rod 420 will take the connecting rod support 110 as a fulcrum, one end (left end) will fall down, and the other end (right end) will be raised, driving the first end 231 (left end) of the first brush disc assembly 200 to be raised. The inclination of the first brush disc assembly 200 is changed, for example, to achieve that the first brush disc 220 is parallel to the surface to be cleaned (the brush disc is parallel to the surface to be cleaned 700). After the external force that presses down the driving member 410 is removed, the first elastic member 120 will reset the driving member 410, so that the first brush disc assembly 200 remains in an inclined state. The first elastic member 120 can be a metal spring, a pneumatic spring, etc.
[0100] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the scrubber can include an operating rod mounting sleeve 520 hinged to the base 100, and the operating rod 500 is mounted in the operating rod mounting sleeve 520, so that the operating rod 500 is detachable for convenient maintenance. The operating rod mounting sleeve 520 can include a protruding mounting sleeve pressing part 521, and the operating rod mounting sleeve 520 can be arranged behind the driving member 410. When the operating rod mounting sleeve 520 is turned forward, the mounting sleeve pressing part 521 can press down the driving member 410. When the operating rod mounting sleeve 520 is turned backward, the mounting sleeve pressing part 521 releases the force that presses down the driving member 410.
[0101] Referring to FIG. 10, when the operating lever 500 is rotated to a vertical state, the driving member 410 can be pressed down, and the brush disc can be kept horizontal. Referring to FIG. 9, when the operating lever 500 is rotated back to the inclined state, the pressing force on the driving member 410 can be released, and the brush disc can return to the inclined state. Of course, two inclined states can be provided, and the first inclined state can correspond to the pressing of the driving member 410, and the second inclined state can correspond to the release of the pressing of the driving member 410.
[0102] Of course, the adjustment of the inclination of the first brush disc assembly 200 by the operating lever 500, the driving member 410, and the first connecting rod 420 can be in other forms. For example, in an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, one end of the first connecting rod 420 is hingedly connected to one end of the second connecting rod 430, and the hinged position is a hinged end 450. The top of the hinged end 450 is provided with a limiting block 130, which can be fixed to the base 100. The driving member 410 passes through the limiting block 130 and presses against the top of one end of the first connecting rod 420 or the top of one end of the second connecting rod 430.
[0103] Referring to FIG. 24, the other end of the first connecting rod 420 can be fixedly connected to the first brush disc assembly 200. For example, the other end of the first connecting rod 420 can include a ring-shaped connecting portion 421, and the first brush disc assembly 200 is fixedly connected to the ring-shaped connecting portion 421.
[0104] In contrast to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 24, when the first connecting rod 420 is inclined, the first brush disc assembly 200 is inclined accordingly. When the first connecting rod 420 is horizontal, the first brush disc assembly 200 is horizontal accordingly. When the driving member 410 passes through the limiting block 130 and is pressed down, one end (the left end) of the first connecting rod 420 falls, and the other end (the right end) is raised, and the first brush disc assembly 200 is kept in the inclined state. When the driving member 410 is not pressed, one end (the left end) of the first connecting rod 420 abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting block 130, and the first connecting rod 420 is kept horizontal, so that the first brush disc assembly 200 is kept in the horizontal state.
[0105] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the end of the operating rod 500 can be provided with a cam 510 as described above, which is pressed against the driving member 410. By rotating the operating rod 500, the distance between the driving member 410 and the center of the cam 510 can be changed, thereby adjusting the degree of depression of the driving member 410. For example, when the operating rod 500 is inclined to the surface 700 to be cleaned, the radius of the cam 510 is large, and the cam 510 causes the driving member 410 to be depressed. When the operating rod 500 is perpendicular to the surface 700 to be cleaned, the radius of the cam 510 is small, and the depression of the driving member 410 is released. This embodiment can further achieve that when the operating rod 500 is inclined to the surface 700 to be cleaned, the driving member 410 is depressed, and the brush disc is inclined to the surface 700 to be cleaned; and when the operating rod 500 is perpendicular to the surface 700 to be cleaned, the driving member 410 is lifted, and the brush disc is parallel to the surface 700 to be cleaned.
[0106] Referring to FIG. 12, a third elastic member 440 can be further provided between the driving member 410 and the axial direction of the limiting block 130. For example, one end of the third elastic member 440 is fixedly connected to the driving member 410, and the other end is abutted against the top surface of the limiting block 130. When the driving member 410 is depressed, the driving member 410 passes through the limiting block 130, and the third elastic member 440 is pressed against the top surface of the limiting block 130. When the depression of the driving member 410 is released, the driving member 410 can be lifted in time due to the elastic force, and the tilting conversion process of the first connecting rod 420 and the second connecting rod 430 is not affected. The third elastic member 440 can be a spring.
[0107] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 21, the scrubber can further include a first water tank 910 provided on the operating rod 500 and a second water tank 920 provided on the cleaning head 800. For example, the first water tank 910 can be a relatively light fresh water tank, and the second water tank 920 can be a relatively heavy dirty water tank. The weight distribution of this water tank arrangement is reasonable, and the scrubber is convenient to operate.
[0108] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
