Description
Recycling components, cleaning modules, cleaning equipment, cleaning base stations and cleaning systems
[0001] Priority information
[0002] This disclosure requests priority and benefits for patent application No. 202423200305.5 filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on December 21, 2024, and patent application No. 202521920367.5 filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on September 5, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of clean technology, and more specifically, to a recycling component, a cleaning module, a cleaning equipment, a cleaning base station, and a cleaning system. Background Technology
[0004] Cleaning equipment cleans surfaces by rotating a mopping component. The equipment also includes a retraction component that abuts against the mopping component. As the mopping component rotates, the first scraping part of the retraction component scrapes off dirt from the mopping component and collects it in the retraction component's dirt-holding chamber. However, the retraction component requires a support on at least one side along its length to allow space for installing other structures, such as a wastewater pipe or other parts of the cleaning equipment. The wastewater pipe connects to the dirt-holding chamber to discharge wastewater to the outside of the cleaning equipment or into its wastewater tank. This space requirement makes it inconvenient to install a dirt-holding chamber in this area, or the capacity of the available chamber is too small. This results in dirt scraped off by the scraping component in this area not being able to directly enter the dirt-holding chamber, or the small capacity of the chamber affecting the wastewater discharge rate, causing wastewater to accumulate in this area and leading to leaks in the cleaning equipment. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0062] To make the above-described objects, features, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this disclosure. However, this disclosure can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0063] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0068] The cleaning equipment cleans the surface to be cleaned by rotating the mopping component. The first scraping part of the recycling component scrapes off the dirt from the mopping component and places it into the dirt-collecting cavity. However, the recycling component needs to have a support part on one side along its length to reserve space for installing sewage pipes and other structures. The sewage pipe is connected to the dirt-collecting cavity for discharging sewage. The provision of the space makes it difficult to set up a dirt-collecting cavity with sufficient capacity in this area, resulting in the scraped dirt not being able to directly enter the dirt-collecting cavity, or the small volume affecting the sewage discharge speed, causing sewage accumulation, which in turn leads to water leakage from the cleaning equipment. To solve this problem, this disclosure provides a recycling component 100 (shown in FIG. 4), a cleaning module 1000 (shown in FIG. 4), a cleaning device 10001 (shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3), a cleaning base station 10003 (shown in FIG. 1), and a cleaning system 10000 (shown in FIG. 1).
[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The cleaning system 10000 of this disclosure includes cleaning equipment 10001 and / or cleaning base station 10003 of any of the following embodiments.
[0070] Cleaning device 10001 is a device for cleaning surfaces to be cleaned. For example, cleaning device 10001 may include a mopping robot and a sweeping and mopping robot. A mopping robot can be used to wipe and clean surfaces, while a sweeping and mopping robot integrates the functions of both types of robots; that is, the sweeping and mopping robot can be used to sweep and wipe surfaces. This disclosure uses a sweeping and mopping robot as an example to illustrate cleaning device 10001. The surface to be cleaned may be, but is not limited to, a floor, marble surface, carpet, or glass surface. This disclosure uses a floor as an example to illustrate the surface to be cleaned.
[0071] The cleaning base station 10003 is a device for maintaining the returned cleaning equipment 10001. For example, the cleaning base station 10003 can clean the cleaning equipment 10001 and charge it. Further, the cleaning base station 10003 may also have at least one of the following functions: charging the cleaning equipment 10001, replenishing water, draining water, and collecting dust. Exemplarily, the cleaning base station 10003 is provided with a first electrical connection terminal, and the cleaning equipment 10001 is provided with a second electrical connection terminal. When the cleaning equipment 10001's power is insufficient, and the cleaning equipment 10001 enters the cleaning base station 10003 and the first electrical connection terminal is electrically connected to the second electrical connection terminal, the cleaning base station 10003 charges the cleaning equipment 10001. When the cleaning equipment 10001 is fully charged, it can leave the cleaning base station 10003 and continue cleaning the surface to be cleaned. When the cleaning equipment 10001 needs to drain water, the cleaning equipment 10001 returns to the cleaning base station 10003 to discharge the sewage, and then the cleaning equipment 10001 leaves the cleaning base station 10003 to continue cleaning the surface to be cleaned.
[0072] The cleaning equipment 10001 and the cleaning base station 10003 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0073] Referring to Figure 3, the cleaning device 10001 includes a cleaning module 1000, a body 3000, a roller brush 5000, a side brush 7000, and a spray bar 9000. The cleaning module 1000 is disposed on the body 3000. The mopping component 300 is used to rotate and mop the surface to be cleaned. The body 3000 has a suction port 3001 and a dirt chamber (not shown), the suction port 3001 connecting the dirt chamber to the outside of the cleaning device 10001. The cleaning device 10001 also includes the roller brush 5000 and / or the side brush 7000. The roller brush 5000 is mounted at the suction port 3001 of the body 3000. The roller brush 5000 rotates relative to the body 3000 to carry dirt from the surface to be cleaned into the dirt chamber. The side brush 7000 is mounted on the body 3000. In the forward direction M of the cleaning device 10001, the side brush 7000 is located in front of the suction port 3001. The side brush 7000 rotates relative to the body 3000 to sweep the dirt on the surface to be cleaned toward the roller brush 5000 and / or the suction port 3001.
[0074] The cleaning module 1000 is a module on the cleaning device 10001 that participates in cleaning the surface to be cleaned by providing dragging force. The cleaning module 1000 includes a recovery component 100 and a dragging component 300. The recovery component 100 includes a housing 30, and the dragging component 300 is disposed on the housing 30.
[0075] The housing 30 is a component used to house elements other than the housing 30 (such as the mopping component 300) in the cleaning module 1000. The mopping component 300 is a component in the cleaning module 1000 that specifically provides mopping force to clean the surface to be cleaned. The mopping component 300 is disposed on the body 3000 in such a way that the housing 30 is mounted on the body 3000 in a detachable or non-detachable manner, and the mopping component 300 is mounted on the housing 30 in a detachable or non-detachable manner, thereby indirectly disposing of the mopping component 300 on the body 3000.
[0076] In embodiments of this disclosure, the mop 300 is a tracked mop, and the cleaning device 10001 is a tracked cleaning device. In other embodiments, the mop 300 is a roller mop, and the cleaning device 10001 is a roller cleaning device. In still other embodiments, the mop 300 can be a flat mop or a rotary disc mop, and the cleaning device 10001 is either a flat mop or a rotary disc cleaning device. Regardless of the type of mop 300, it contacts the surface to be cleaned when the cleaning module 1000 cleans the surface. For rotary disc mops, tracked mops, or roller mops, they all rotate relative to the surface to be cleaned. During the rotation of the mop 300, it can roll away or wipe away dirt on the surface to be cleaned, keeping the surface clean. The dirt can include liquid dirt and solid grime. In addition, tracked mops include, but are not limited to, disposable electrostatic mops, disposable wet mops, or reusable fabric mops.
[0077] All components of the cleaning equipment 10001 except for the main body 3000 are mounted on the main body 3000. That is, the main body 3000 serves as a carrier and can hold all components of the cleaning equipment 10001 except for the main body 3000.
[0078] A roller brush 5000 is installed at the suction inlet 3001 of the machine body 3000. The roller brush 5000 rotates relative to the machine body 3000 to roll up debris on the surface to be cleaned, transporting the debris towards the dirty chamber. The debris passes through the suction inlet 3001 and the dirty chamber, and finally enters the dust box inside the machine body 3000. Exemplarily, the roller brush 5000 may include a roller body and brush bodies. The roller body of this disclosure has a cylindrical structure, and the brush body has a helical structure extending along the axial direction of the roller body. The brush body may be a rubber strip, a bristle strip, or a combination of rubber strips and bristles. The number of brush bodies may be, but is not limited to, one, two, three, four, or more. When there are multiple brush bodies, the multiple brush bodies are spaced apart on the roller body. When the brush body of the roller brush 5000 has a helical structure, the roller brush 5000 can more effectively gather and capture debris, resulting in higher cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the spiral-shaped brush has a larger contact area with the surface to be cleaned per unit time, which can improve the coverage area and the cleaning effect on the surface to be cleaned.
[0079] The side brush 7000 assists the roller brush 5000 in cleaning. The side brush 7000 can rotate relative to the main body 3000 to gather dirt on the surface to be cleaned towards the roller brush 5000 and / or the suction inlet 3001. The dirt can then be sucked into the dust box through the suction inlet 3001 and the dirt chamber. When the cleaning device 10001 includes the mopping component 300 and the side brush 7000, the cleaning device 10001 achieves a better cleaning effect on the surface to be cleaned. Preferably, at least a portion of the side brush 7000 can extend from the periphery of the main body 3000, allowing the side brush 7000 to reach areas that the mopping component 300 cannot reach, such as walls, corners, or crevices. The side brush 7000 can expand the cleaning range of the cleaning device 10001 (such as a cleaning robot), resulting in a more comprehensive cleaning of the surface and a better cleaning effect.
[0080] The spray bar 9000 can be disposed on one side of the cleaning module 1000. For example, in the forward direction M of the cleaning device 10001, the spray bar 9000 can be disposed on the front side of the cleaning module 1000 and fixed to the front part of the housing 30 of the cleaning module 1000. The spray bar 9000 has a plurality of spray nozzles, which are spaced apart along the axial direction (i.e., the length direction X) of the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300 and facing the mopping member 300, so that the liquid sprayed from the spray bar 9000 can flow to the mopping member 300.
[0081] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6. This disclosure provides a recycling assembly 100. The recycling assembly 100 is used in a cleaning device 10001. The cleaning device 10001 includes a mop 300, which is a tracked mop. The mop 300 cleans the surface to be cleaned by rotating along a first direction R. The recycling assembly 100 includes a recycling component 10 and a housing 30. The recycling component 10 includes a body portion 11, a first scraping portion 13, and a support portion 15. The first scraping portion 13 is disposed on the body portion 11 and abuts against the mop 300. During the process of the mop 300 rotating along the first direction R to clean the surface to be cleaned, the first scraping portion 13 peels dirt off the mop 300. The body portion 11 is provided with a dirt-containing cavity 111, which is used to contain the dirt peeled off from the mop 300 when the mop 300 cleans the surface to be cleaned. The support portion 15 is located on at least one side of the body portion 11 in the longitudinal direction X. The mopping member 300 and the recycling member 10 are connected to the housing 30. The housing 30 is provided with a second scraping portion 31, which abuts against the mopping member 300. During the process of the mopping member 300 rotating in the first direction R to clean the surface to be cleaned, at least a portion of the second scraping portion 31 is located upstream of the support portion 15, so that at least a portion of the dirt rolled up by the mopping member 300 from the surface to be cleaned is scraped off by the second scraping portion 31 before rotating to the area corresponding to the support portion 15.
[0082] The recycling component 10 is used to collect and temporarily store wastewater generated by the mopping component 300 during cleaning of the surface to be cleaned. The wastewater in the recycling component 10 can be stored in the wastewater box 500 of the cleaning equipment 10001, and the wastewater in the wastewater box 500 can also enter the recycling component 10 and then be discharged from the recycling component 10 to the outside of the cleaning equipment 10001. Specifically, the recycling component 10 is installed on the body 3000 in a detachable or non-detachable manner. The recycling component 10 is detachably installed on the housing 30, thus indirectly placing the recycling component 10 on the body 3000.
[0083] The body portion 11 is used to support and connect other components outside the body portion 11. When the cleaning equipment 10001 is in operation, the body portion 11 remains fixed. The body portion 11 can be made of plastic, metal, or composite materials, and is not limited thereto in this disclosure. When the body portion 11 is made of plastic, it has good insulation properties, low cost, and light weight. When the body portion 11 is made of metal, it has high strength, good wear resistance, and a long service life.
[0084] The first scraping part 13 abuts against the mop 300 to remove dirt from the mop 300. During the operation of the cleaning device 10001, the first scraping part 13 abuts against the mop 300, and the mop 300 rotates in the first direction R, that is, the mop 300 rotates downward relative to the first scraping part 13. The first scraping part 13 scrapes the dirt off the clean surface of the mop 300, reducing the dirt accumulation on the mop 300.
[0085] The main body 11 is provided with a dirt-holding cavity 111, which is used to temporarily store wastewater generated by the mopping component 300 during the mopping process. The dirt-holding cavity 111 can be a cuboid, a cylinder, or other shapes. The dirt-holding cavity 111 can be an open cavity at the top or a closed cavity at the top. For an open cavity at the top, the top of the recovery component 10 is provided with an opening, allowing the dirt-holding cavity 111 to communicate directly with the outside, facilitating the cleaning of the dirt-holding cavity 111. For a closed cavity at the top, the top of the recovery component 10 is not open, and the top of the dirt-holding cavity 111 forms a completely closed structure, which has better sealing performance and can prevent wastewater leakage during the recovery process. During the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10001 cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the first scraping part 13 scrapes off the dirt on the mopping component 300, and the dirt-holding cavity 111 can contain the wastewater in the dirt, preventing the wastewater from re-adhering to the mopping component 300 or falling onto the surface to be cleaned. Furthermore, the inner wall of the dirt-holding cavity 111 can be treated with anti-fouling agents, such as using a smooth material or coating. The combination of the dirt-containing cavity 111 and the first scraping part 13 allows the wastewater in the dirt to be temporarily stored in the dirt-containing cavity 111 after the dirt is peeled off by the first scraping part 13, preventing wastewater from overflowing or re-adhering to the mop 300. In some embodiments, the dirt-containing cavity 111 extends along the rotation axis S of the mop 300. On the one hand, this increases the accommodating space of the dirt-containing cavity 111, and on the other hand, it can effectively utilize the internal space of the cleaning device 10001, reduce cross-interference between the recovery part 10 and the mop 300, and make the layout extending along the rotation axis S of the mop 300 more compact, avoiding waste of the internal space of the cleaning device 10001.
[0086] The support portion 15 is located on at least one side of the body portion 11 in the longitudinal direction X. The support portion 15 serves to form space for installing other structures of the recycling component 10 or other structures of the cleaning equipment 10001, which will be specifically described later (sewage pipe, the second sewage outlet 183 of the cleaning equipment 10001, or a portion of the sludge-containing cavity 111). In the forward direction M of the cleaning equipment 10001, the wiping component 300 is located on one side of the support portion 15, and the other side of the support portion 15 can be used to install other structures of the recycling component 10 or other structures of the cleaning equipment 10001. During the process of the wiping component 300 rotating along the first direction R to clean the surface to be cleaned, the support portion 15 can isolate the wiping component 300 from other structures, preventing the wiping component 300 from affecting other structures and ensuring the installation stability of other structures. The support portion 15 is typically elongated or plate-shaped. The size and shape of the support portion 15 can be designed according to the length of the first scraping portion 13. For example, the thickness of the support portion 15 (the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the height direction Z and the length direction X) can be designed to be thinner, thereby freeing up space for the installation of other structures.
[0087] The second scraping part 31 is disposed on the housing 30. During the cleaning process of the mopping member 300 on the surface to be cleaned, the mopping member 300 rotates in the first direction R, that is, the mopping member 300 rotates downward relative to the second scraping part 31. The second scraping part 31 scrapes dirt off the cleaning surface of the mopping member 300, reducing the dirt accumulation on the mopping member 300. At least a portion of the second scraping part 31 is located upstream of the support part 15. Upstream means that the part of the mopping member 300 that contacts the surface to be cleaned passes through the second scraping part 31 first after contacting the surface to be cleaned, and then passes through the support part 15, so that at least a portion of the dirt rolled up by the mopping member 300 from the surface to be cleaned is scraped off by the second scraping part 31 before rotating to the area corresponding to the support part 15.
[0088] In the recycling assembly 100 disclosed herein, dirt accumulates on the mop 300 during the process of rotating along a first direction R to clean the surface to be cleaned. A first scraping portion 13 abuts against the mop 300, and a portion of the dirt on the cleaning surface of the mop 300 can be peeled off by the first scraping portion 13. A second scraping portion 31 abuts against the mop 300, and at least a portion of the second scraping portion 31 is located upstream of the support portion 15. Therefore, another portion of the dirt on the cleaning surface of the mop 300 is scraped off by the second scraping portion 31 before rotating to the area corresponding to the support portion 15, reducing the amount of dirt reaching the support portion 15, preventing dirt accumulation on the support portion 15, thereby preventing water leakage of the cleaning equipment 10001 and improving the reliability of the cleaning equipment 10001.
[0089] Referring to Figures 3, 5, and 6, in some embodiments, in a rotational system established with a point on the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300 as the center and the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001 as the reference baseline, in the first direction R, the mounting angle position A1 of the second scraping part 31 leads the mounting angle position A2 of the support part 15. In the axial direction (length direction X) of the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300, the extended coverage area D2 of the support part 15 is located within the extended coverage area D1 of the second scraping part 31.
[0090] Specifically, the installation angular position refers to the relative position of a component with respect to a fixed center of rotation and a fixed reference line in a rotating system. For example, the center of rotation is a point on the rotation axis S of the mopping component 300, and the reference line is the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001. The mopping component 300 rotates along the first direction R, while other components such as the second scraping part 31 and the support part 15 are distributed circumferentially around the rotation axis S of the mopping component 300. The mounting angle position A1 of the second scraping part 31 is the angle of the second scraping part 31 relative to the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001 in the plane where the rotation system is located. The mounting angle position A2 of the support part 15 is the angle of the support part 15 relative to the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001 in the plane where the rotation system is located. The mounting angle position A1 of the second scraping part 31 leads the mounting angle position A2 of the support part 15 in the first direction R. During the rotation of the mopping component 300 along the first direction R, the second scraping part 31 will contact the mopping component 300 before the support part 15. The second scraping part 31 can scrape off the dirt on the mopping component 300 first, so that at least part of the dirt has been scraped off by the second scraping part 31 before the mopping component 300 rotates to the area corresponding to the support part 15.
[0091] The extended coverage range refers to the spatial range covered by the component from its starting point to its ending point in a specific direction (here, the length direction X). If the extended coverage range D2 of the support portion 15 is not located within the extended coverage range D1 of the second scraping portion 31, the cleaning surfaces of the mopping member 300 corresponding to the extended coverage range D2 of the support portion 15 may come into contact with the support portion 15 without being cleaned by the second scraping portion 31. This results in the mopping member 300 within the extended coverage range D2 of the support portion 15 not being cleaned along the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300, or the wastewater after cleaning being difficult to directly enter the wastewater collection chamber 111. When the extended coverage range D2 of the support portion 15 is located within the extended coverage range D1 of the second scraping portion 31, during the process of the mopping member 300 rotating along the first direction R to clean the surface to be cleaned, the cleaning surfaces of the mopping member 300 reaching the support portion 15 have all been cleaned by the second scraping portion 31, which is beneficial for the wastewater after cleaning to enter the wastewater collection chamber 111.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, in the axial direction (length direction X) parallel to the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300, the extended coverage area D1 of the second scraping part 31 is connected to or overlaps with the extended coverage area D3 of the dirt-containing cavity 111.
[0093] Specifically, "connected" means that the second scraper 31 and the sludge-containing cavity 111 are spatially connected without overlap. "Overlapping" means that the extended coverage area D1 of the second scraper 31 and the extended coverage area D3 of the sludge-containing cavity 111 intersect in space. In this way, the sewage scraped off by the second scraper 31 can easily enter the sludge-containing cavity 111, reducing the risk of sewage retention or overflow.
[0094] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the second scraping portion 31 is located upstream of the first scraping portion 13 in the rotation direction (first direction R) of the wiping member 300.
[0095] Specifically, when the mop 300 rotates along the first direction R, a portion (which may be all or part) of the second scraping part 31 abuts against the mop 300 before the first scraping part 13. The second scraping part 31 scrapes away dirt on the mop 300 before the first scraping part 13, reducing the burden on the first scraping part 13.
[0096] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the extended coverage area of the first scraping part 13 overlaps with the extended coverage area D3 of the sludge-containing cavity 111. Thus, the wastewater scraped off by the first scraping part 13 can easily enter the sludge-containing cavity 111 directly.
[0097] Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, when the recycling component 100 is installed on the cleaning device 10001, the second scraping part 31 is higher than the dirt-containing cavity 111 in the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001.
[0098] Specifically, in the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001, at least a portion of the dirt-holding cavity 111 is lower than the second scraping part 31. That is, at least a portion of the dirt-holding cavity 111 is located below the second scraping part 31 in the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001. After the second scraping part 31 removes dirt from the cleaning surface of the mop 300, the wastewater in the dirt enters the lower dirt-holding cavity 111 by gravity, achieving natural drainage of wastewater. This ensures that wastewater can flow into the dirt-holding cavity 111, preventing wastewater from accumulating around the second scraping part 31, reducing the risk of wastewater overflow, preventing secondary contamination of the surface to be cleaned, and reducing the possibility of wastewater re-adhering to the mop 300. This improves the efficiency of wastewater drainage from the second scraping part 31.
[0099] Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, the recycling unit 10 further includes a filter section 19. The filter section 19 is provided with filter holes 191, which communicate with the outside and the sludge chamber 111 to allow wastewater in the sludge to enter the sludge chamber 111 and to block solid waste in the sludge from entering the sludge chamber 111. In the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001, the filter section 19 is higher than the first scraper section 13 and lower than the second scraper section 31.
[0100] The filter section 19 is used to separate dirt generated by the mop 300 during the cleaning process. Since dirt on the ground includes not only sewage but also solid waste, dirt adheres to the mop 300, forming grime, or the mop 300 itself becomes wet, causing the dirt on the mop 300 to become a mixture of solid waste and sewage. The filter section 19 is provided with filter holes 191, which connect the outside to the dirt-holding chamber 111. In one example, the filter section 19 is a filter screen located between the dirt-holding chamber 111 and the outside, and has multiple filter holes 191. The size of the filter holes 191 can be set as needed, only requiring that sewage can pass through while larger solid waste cannot. When the cleaning device 10001 is mopping the surface to be cleaned, the dirt scraped off by the first scraper 13 and the second scraper 31 includes sewage and solid waste mixed with sewage. The sewage can flow through the filter section 19 into the dirt-holding chamber 111 for storage, preventing sewage from re-adhering to the mop 300. Solid waste is blocked by the filter section 19 and remains between the cleaning surface of the mop member 300 and the scraping section, thereby preventing solid waste from entering the dirt-holding chamber 111. For example, during the operation of the cleaning device 10001, the mop member 300 rotates in the first direction R, that is, the mop member 300 rotates downward relative to the first scraping section 13 and the second scraping section 31.
[0101] In the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001, the filter section 19 is positioned higher than the first scraping section 13, allowing the wastewater in the dirt to directly enter the dirt-holding chamber 111 through the filter section 19 after the dirt is scraped off by the first scraping section 13. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the dirt-holding chamber 111 may also be located above the filter section 19. In this way, when the cleaning device 10001 is flipped, the dirt-holding chamber 111, which was originally located above, is in a lower position, allowing the wastewater originally located in the lower dirt-holding chamber 111 to flow into the upper dirt-holding chamber 111, thereby preventing wastewater overflow or environmental pollution.
[0102] In the height direction Z of the cleaning equipment 10001, the filter part 19 is positioned lower than the second scraping part 31 so that the wastewater can be naturally drained by gravity, ensuring that the wastewater can flow smoothly into the dirt holding chamber 111, reducing the possibility of wastewater re-attaching to the mopping part 300, and preventing secondary pollution of the surface to be cleaned by wastewater.
[0103] Referring to Figure 7, in some embodiments, in the longitudinal direction X parallel to the body portion 11, the second scraping portion 31 includes a first end 311 and a second end 313 opposite to each other. The first end 311 of the second scraping portion 31 is closer to the dirt-containing cavity 111 than the second end 313, and at least the second end 313 of the second scraping portion 31 is provided with a notch 315 for accommodating the mopping member 300.
[0104] Specifically, in the length direction X parallel to the main body 11, the second end 313 of the second scraping part 31 is far from the dirt-containing cavity 111. The wastewater scraped off by the second end 313 of the second scraping part 31 has a longer path to enter the dirt-containing cavity 111, so the wastewater is more likely to overflow from the second end 313. The second end 313 is provided with a notch 315. When the mopping member 300 is partially housed in the notch 315, the wastewater scraped off by the second scraping part 31 near the second end 313 can be sucked away by the part of the mopping member 300 that is directly opposite the notch 315, reducing the residence time of the wastewater at the second end 313 and preventing the wastewater from overflowing from the second end 313.
[0105] Please refer to Figure 7. In some embodiments, the notch 315 is adjacent to the inner wall surface 331 of the end cap 33 of the housing 30 in the length direction X of the cleaning device 10001, and the length direction X of the housing 30 is parallel to the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300.
[0106] Specifically, in some embodiments, the adjacency includes: the notch 315 and the inner wall surface 331 being close to each other but not in contact in the length direction X; the outer contour of the notch 315 and the outer contour of the inner wall surface 331 being close to each other but not intersecting. Maintaining a certain distance between the notch 315 and the inner wall surface 331 can reduce the risk of sewage overflowing from the inner wall surface 331.
[0107] Please refer to Figure 7. In some embodiments, the notch 315 is in contact with the inner wall surface 331.
[0108] Specifically, in the length direction X of the cleaning device 10001, the notch 315 is connected to the inner wall surface 331, and the outer contour of the notch 315 is in contact with the outer contour of the inner wall surface 331. The wall surface forming the notch 315 is the inner wall surface 331. When the mopping component 300 is accommodated in the notch 315, it can approach and / or fit against the inner wall surface 331, which further reduces sewage leakage and improves the integration and structural strength between components.
[0109] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, the width Q1 of the notch 315 in the length direction X of the housing 30 ranges from 2 mm to 8 mm, and the length direction X of the housing 30 is parallel to the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300.
[0110] Specifically, the width Q1 of the notch 315 can be 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.7mm, 4mm, 4.6mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm. If the width Q1 of the notch 315 is less than 2mm, the notch 315 is too small to accommodate the mopping component 300, and the wastewater at the notch 315 is difficult to be sucked away by the mopping component 300. If the width Q1 of the notch 315 is greater than 8mm, the notch 315 is too large, and in the axial direction parallel to the rotation axis S of the mopping component 300, the extension coverage range D1 of the second scraping part 31 does not adequately cover the extension coverage range D3 of the dirt-containing cavity 111. The scraping range of the second scraping part 31 is limited, and the scraping effect is poor.
[0111] The width Q1 of the notch 315 is in the range of 2mm to 8mm. This ensures that the notch 315 can accommodate the mopping member 300, and that the wastewater scraped by the second scraping part 31 at the second end 313 can be sucked away by the mopping member 300 to prevent the wastewater from overflowing from the second end 313. It also ensures that the scraping range of the second scraping part 31 is sufficient and the scraping effect is good.
[0112] Referring to Figures 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the housing 30 includes an inner surface 353 facing the mop member 300, and a second scraping portion 31 is disposed on the inner surface 353. The second scraping portion 31 includes a first surface 317 and a second surface 319, the second surface 319 being a surface away from the inner surface 353, and the first surface 317 being a surface capable of scraping dirt off the mop member 300. The first surface 317 connects the second surface 319 and the inner surface 353, and at least one edge 318 of the first surface 317 on the side away from the inner surface 353 abuts against the mop member 300.
[0113] Specifically, the mopping component 300 is rotatably mounted on the side of the housing 30 facing the surface to be cleaned and is in contact with the inner surface 353. The rotation of the mopping component 300, in contact with the inner surface 353, limits the movement of the mopping component 300, improving its stability during rotation in the first direction R. It also reduces the gap between the mopping component 300 and the inner surface 353, thereby reducing the leakage or accumulation of wastewater during cleaning. The second scraping portion 31 includes a first surface 317 and a second surface 319. The first surface 317 is the surface of the second scraping portion 31 that is away from the support portion 15 in the forward direction M of the mopping component 300. The second surface 319 is the surface that is away from the inner surface 353.
[0114] In one embodiment, the second scraping portion 31 may protrude from the inner surface 353 toward the wiping member 300 to form a first surface 317 and a second surface 319.
[0115] The second surface 319 and the first surface 317 together form the edge 138. During the process of the mopping member 300 rotating along the first direction R to clean the surface to be cleaned, the edge 138 contacts the mopping member 300 and can generate pressure when the mopping member 300 rotates, peeling the dirt off the mopping member 300. The peeled dirt can be collected on the first surface 317. The first surface 317 can prevent the dirt from flowing along the first direction R towards the support portion 15. The second surface 319 is in contact with the mopping member 300. The second surface 319 can form a gap 353 between the mopping member 300 and the inner surface, so that the peeled dirt can be collected on the first surface 317, reducing or preventing the peeled dirt from being sucked away by the mopping member 300 again. It can also prevent the dirt from flowing along the first direction R towards the support portion 15. The dirt can be collected towards the cleaning surface of the mopping member 300 near the dirt-containing cavity 111 in the length direction X.
[0116] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7. In some embodiments, in the length direction X of the housing 30 and in the direction from the outside of the housing 30 to the inside of the housing 30 (hereinafter referred to as the inward direction X1), the first surface 317 gets closer and closer to the dirt-containing cavity 111 in the rotation direction (first direction R) of the mopping member 300, and the length direction X of the housing 30 is parallel to the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300.
[0117] Specifically, the length direction X of the housing 30 is a bidirectional direction, including two opposing unidirectional directions: from the outside of the housing 30 to the inside of the housing 30 and from the inside of the housing 30 to the outside of the housing 30. In the direction from the outside of the housing 30 to the inside of the housing 30 (inward direction X1), the first surface 317 gets closer and closer to the dirt-containing cavity 111 in the rotation direction of the wiping member 300, so that the first surface 317 is an inclined surface relative to the dirt-containing cavity 111.
[0118] The component of the first surface 317 in the first direction R can maintain the scraping effect of the first surface 317 on the dirt on the wiping member 300. The component of the inclined surface in the length direction X of the housing 30 can guide the dirt to the dirt-containing cavity 111. The dirt scraped by the second scraping part 31 can gradually approach the dirt-containing cavity 111 from the inward direction X1, and can directly guide the dirt to the dirt-containing cavity 111, avoiding the accumulation of dirt on the first surface 317.
[0119] Please refer to Figures 6 and 8. In some embodiments, the first surface 317 is an axially inclined surface relative to the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300 in the longitudinal direction X of the housing 30 and in the direction from the outside of the housing 30 to the inside of the housing 30 (inward direction X1).
[0120] Specifically, in one example, as shown in Figure 8(a), the first surface 317 is a continuous inclined surface, and it is inclined axially relative to the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300. The inclination angle can be 15°, 18°, 21°, 30°, 40°, or 60°, etc., and is not limited here. The axial inclination of the first surface 317 relative to the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300 allows the dirt scraped off by the first surface 317 to flow along the first surface 317 to the dirt-containing cavity 111, thereby achieving a good guiding effect.
[0121] Please refer to Figures 6, 7 and 8. In some embodiments, the first surface 317 includes a plurality of sub-surfaces that are connected in sequence. In the longitudinal direction X of the housing 30 and in the direction from the outside of the housing 30 to the inside of the housing 30 (inward direction X1), the slopes of the plurality of sub-surfaces relative to the rotation axis S increase in sequence.
[0122] Specifically, in another example, as shown in Figure 7, the first surface 317 is composed of multiple sub-surfaces, which may include two, three, or four, etc., without limitation. For example, the first surface 317 is composed of two sub-surfaces, including a first sub-surface 3171 and a second sub-surface 3172 connected sequentially. In the inward direction X1, the first sub-surface 3171 is further away from the dirt-containing cavity 111 than the second sub-surface 3172. The slope of the first sub-surface 3171 relative to the rotation axis S is less than the slope of the second sub-surface 3172 relative to the rotation axis S. In the length direction X1 of the housing 30, the size of the first sub-surface 3171 is larger than the size of the second sub-surface 3172. During the rotation of the mopping member 300, the first sub-surface 3171 and the second sub-surface 3172 can scrape away dirt from the mopping member 300 at different angles and with different forces. Specifically, because the first sub-surface 3171 has a smaller slope and a longer length, the first sub-surface 3171 and the edge 318 between the first sub-surface 3171 and the second surface 319 have a better cleaning effect. The second sub-surface 3172 has a larger slope and a shorter length, so while maintaining a certain cleaning ability, it can use a larger slope to guide the scraped dirt more quickly and directly to the dirt-holding cavity 111, avoiding accumulation and leakage.
[0123] Therefore, the slope of the axial tilt of the multiple sub-surfaces relative to the rotation axis S increases sequentially, which helps the dirt to slide quickly into the dirt-holding cavity 111 after being scraped off, avoiding the dirt from staying and re-adhering on the first surface 317, thereby improving the recycling efficiency of the recycling assembly 100.
[0124] Referring to Figures 6 and 8, in some embodiments, the first surface 317 includes a plurality of sub-surfaces, which are sequentially connected. In the longitudinal direction X1 of the housing 30, and in the direction from the outside of the housing 30 to the inside of the housing 30 (inward direction X1), at least the sub-surface closest to the outside of the housing 30 and the sub-surface closest to the center of the housing 30 are axially inclined relative to the rotation axis S of the drag member 300. The slope of the axial inclination of the sub-surface closest to the outside of the housing 30 relative to the rotation axis S is less than the slope of the axial inclination of the sub-surface closest to the center of the housing 30 relative to the rotation axis S.
[0125] Specifically, in another example, as shown in Figure 8(b), the first surface 317 is composed of multiple sub-surfaces, which may include two, three, or four sub-surfaces, etc., without limitation. Exemplarily, the first surface 317 is composed of three sub-surfaces. From the outside to the inside of the housing 30, the sub-surfaces include a third sub-surface 3173, a fourth sub-surface 3174, and a fifth sub-surface 3175 that are connected in sequence. The slope of the third sub-surface 3173 relative to the axial direction of the rotation axis S is less than the slope of the fifth sub-surface 3175 relative to the axial direction of the rotation axis S. The fourth sub-surface 3174 is parallel to the axial direction of the rotation axis S.
[0126] Specifically, the third sub-surface 3173, located near the outer edge of the housing 30, has a smaller slope, resulting in better edge cleaning of the third sub-surface 3173 and the edges between it and the second surface 319. The fourth sub-surface 3174 provides a relatively gentle transition zone, allowing dirt to gradually adapt to the subsequent flow process of the fifth sub-surface 3175 after being cleaned by the third sub-surface 3173. The fifth sub-surface 3175, located near the center of the housing 30, has a larger slope, which more effectively guides dirt to the dirt-collecting cavity 111, ensuring that dirt is quickly collected in the dirt-collecting cavity 111 and preventing dirt residue and re-adhesion on the first surface 317.
[0127] Please refer to Figures 4 and 6. In some embodiments, a seal 50 is provided between the support 15 and the housing 30. The seal 50 is used to seal the gap between the support 15 and the housing 30.
[0128] Specifically, the seal 50 is used to seal the gap between the support portion 15 and the housing 30 to enhance the waterproof effect of the recovery component 10. The seal 50 can be made of materials such as rubber, silicone, plastic, or synthetic fibers. Among them, rubber materials include, but are not limited to, natural rubber, nitrile rubber, fluororubber, polyurethane rubber, EPDM rubber, or silicone rubber. There can be one or more seals 50, which is not limited in this disclosure. In one example, the seal 50 is individually molded and then fitted into the support portion 15 or the housing 30; in another example, the seal 50 is fitted and molded into the support portion 15 or the housing 30 in the form of overmolding or the like. When the cleaning device 10001 is in the state of wiping the surface to be cleaned, the housing 30 is located above the scraping portion, the seal 50 is located on the side of the support portion 15 away from the surface to be cleaned, and at least part of the seal 50 is located between the support portion 15 and the housing 30 in the height direction Z. The seal 50 seals the gap between the support 15 and the housing 30, preventing wastewater scraped off by the first scraper 13 and the second scraper 31 from overflowing from the gap between the support 15 and the housing 30, thereby preventing wastewater leakage from the top and improving the waterproof rating of the recovery component 10. Furthermore, the seal 50 is low-cost and does not occupy additional installation space.
[0129] Please refer to Figures 4 and 6. In some embodiments, the support 15 abuts against the mop 300. During the process of the mop 300 rotating in the first direction R to clean the surface to be cleaned, the support 15 peels the dirt off the mop 300. The dirt-containing cavity 111 is used to contain the dirt.
[0130] Specifically, when the support part 15 abuts against the wiping part 300, the support part 15 can also play a scraping role, scraping away the sewage located downstream of the second scraping part 31 in the first direction R, forming a double scraping effect with the second scraping part 31.
[0131] Referring to Figure 9, in some embodiments, the support portion 15 includes a first support surface 155 and a second support surface 157. The first support surface 155 is further away from the mopping member 300 than the second support surface 157. The second support surface 157 is connected to the first support surface 155. At least one edge of the first support surface 155 connected to the second support surface 157 abuts against the mopping member 300, and the edge is straight.
[0132] Specifically, when the edges formed by the first support surface 155 and the second support surface 157 are straight, the edges can be right-angled edges (Fig. 9(a)), acute-angled edges (Fig. 9(b)), or obtuse-angled edges (Fig. 9(c), (Fig. 9(d)). The first support surface 155 can be parallel to the first direction R (Fig. 9(a)) or not parallel (Fig. 9(c)), and the second support surface 157 can be perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned (Fig. 9(d)) or not perpendicular (Fig. 9(c)), and there are no limitations here. When the edges are straight, the edges can provide higher local pressure, which can more effectively peel dirt off the surface of the mop 300. In one example, if the extension direction of the second support surface 157 remains unchanged (along the height direction Z), then by adjusting the tilt angle of the first support surface 155, the scraping force of the edge formed when the included angle between the first support surface 155 and the second support surface 157 is an acute angle (as shown in Figure 9(b)), the edge formed when the included angle between the first support surface 155 and the second support surface 157 is a right angle (as shown in Figure 9(a)), and the edge formed when the included angle between the first support surface 155 and the second support surface 157 is an obtuse angle (as shown in Figure 9(d)) decreases sequentially. This can be adjusted according to the actual situation so that the edge is kept at an angle that has a scraping effect but does not leak water.
[0133] Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, the support portion 15 includes a first support surface 155, a second support surface 157, and a first transition surface 159. The first support surface 155 is further away from the mopping member 300 than the second support surface 157. The first transition surface 159 connects the first support surface 155 and the second support surface 157, and abuts against the mopping member 300. The first transition surface 159 is an arc surface.
[0134] Specifically, when the first transition surface 159 abuts against the mop member 300, the pressure applied to the mop member 300 by the curved surface is more dispersed compared to the straight edge. Since the second scraping part 31 has already performed preliminary scraping treatment on the mop member 300, the amount of dirt remaining on the mop member 300 is significantly reduced. At this time, the first transition surface 159 is designed as a curved surface, which can have a certain scraping effect and can further scrape off the dirt remaining after the mop member 300 has been scraped. In addition, the large contact area between the curved surface and the mop member 300 can reduce the local pressure on the mop member 300, which helps to reduce the excessive scraping of the mop member 300 by the first transition surface 159 and avoid the overflow of sewage from the contact area between the first transition surface 159 and the mop member 300 due to excessive scraping force, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage.
[0135] Referring to Figure 10, in some embodiments, the support portion 15 includes a first support surface 155 and a second support surface 157, the second support surface 157 being connected to the first support surface 155. In the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001, the first support surface 155 is higher than the second support surface 157. The end of the second support surface 157 away from the first support surface 155 is further away from the mopping member 300 than the end of the second support surface 157 connected to the first support surface 155. The first support surface 155 is in surface contact with the mopping member 300. The edge of the first support surface 155 on the side connected to the second support surface 157 is a straight line or an arc surface.
[0136] Specifically, in Figure 10(a), the first support surface 155 is in contact with the surface of the mop 300, which can limit dirt from dripping onto the surface to be cleaned in the height direction Z. For example, the first support surface 155 is parallel to the plane formed by the rotation axis S of the mop 300 and the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001, which can increase the contact area between the first support surface 155 and the surface of the mop 300, reducing the local pressure of the first support surface 155 on the mop 300. When the edge of the first support surface 155 connected to the second support surface 157 is straight, the edge can provide higher local pressure, pressing the mop 300 and preventing dirt from dripping onto the surface to be cleaned. When the edge of the side of the first support surface 155 that connects to the second support surface 157 is an arc surface, the local pressure on the mopping component 300 can be reduced, which helps to reduce the excessive scraping of the mopping component 300 by the first transition surface 159, and avoids sewage overflow from the contact area between the first transition surface 159 and the mopping component 300 due to excessive scraping force, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage.
[0137] Referring to Figure 10, in some embodiments, the support portion 15 includes a first support surface 155 and a second support surface 157, the second support surface 157 being connected to the first support surface 155. In the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001, the first support surface 155 is higher than the second support surface 157. The end of the first support surface 155 away from the second support surface 157 is further away from the mopping member 300 than the end where the first support surface 155 is connected to the second support surface 157. The second support surface 157 is in surface contact with the mopping member 300. The edge of the second support surface 157 on the side connected to the first support surface 155 is a straight line or an arc surface.
[0138] Specifically, in Figure 10(b), the second support surface 157 contacts the surface of the mop member 300, which can limit the dripping of dirt onto the surface to be cleaned in the height direction Z. For example, the second support surface 157 is parallel to the plane formed by the rotation axis S of the mop member 300 and the height direction Z of the cleaning device 10001. When the edge of the second support surface 157 connected to the first support surface 155 is straight, the edge can provide higher local pressure, pressing the mop member 300 and preventing dirt from dripping onto the surface to be cleaned. When the edge of the second support surface 157 connected to the first support surface 155 is curved, the local pressure on the mop member 300 can be reduced, which helps to reduce excessive scraping of the mop member 300 by the first transition surface 159, avoiding overflow of wastewater from the contact area between the first transition surface 159 and the mop member 300 due to excessive scraping force, thereby reducing the risk of leakage.
[0139] It is worth noting that, because the surface of the mop 300 is arc-shaped, when the second support surface 157 contacts the mop 300, its relatively low position causes the arc-shaped surface of the mop 300 to gradually move away from the second support surface 157 as it moves downwards. Therefore, the contact pressure between the mop 300 and the second support surface 157 is relatively low, further reducing the scraping force on the mop 300 and minimizing the risk of wastewater overflow due to excessive scraping force. Simultaneously, the lower contact pressure also helps protect the surface of the mop 300, extending its service life, and while ensuring cleaning effectiveness, it reduces wear and tear and the risk of leakage.
[0140] Referring to Figures 4 and 11, in some embodiments, the recycling component 10 further includes a filter section 19. The filter section 19 has filter holes 191 that connect to the outside and the sludge chamber 111, allowing wastewater in the sludge to enter the sludge chamber 111 and blocking solid waste in the sludge from entering the sludge chamber 111. The first scraping part 13 includes a first surface 131 and a second surface 133. The first surface 131 is an inner surface of the filter hole 191. At least one edge of the first surface 131 connected to the second surface 133 abuts against the wiping component 300, and the edge is straight.
[0141] Specifically, in Figure 11(a), the first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13 is the upper surface of the scraping part. The dirt scraped off by the first scraping part 13 from the cleaning surface of the mopping member 300 accumulates on the first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13, and the wastewater in the dirt flows into the filter hole 191 from the top surface. In some embodiments, the first scraping part 13 and the filter part 19 are an integral structure. On the one hand, this allows for a more compact structure between the first scraping part 13 and the filter part 19, which is beneficial for timely scraping of wastewater into the dirt-holding chamber 111. On the other hand, the connection between the first scraping part 13 and the filter part 19 is smoother, with no gaps, making it less prone to dirt accumulation. In some embodiments, when the filter hole 191 is rectangular, the top surface of the first scraping part 13 can form a rectangular side to improve the efficiency of wastewater passage.
[0142] In some embodiments, the first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13 is inclined downward toward the sludge-containing cavity 111. The first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13 forms a downward inclination angle toward the sludge-containing cavity 111. Inclination means that the first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13 is not horizontally arranged, and the first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13 forms a certain height difference in the height direction Z. The downward inclination of the first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13 has a certain guiding effect on the sewage, and the sewage is more likely to slide into the sludge-containing cavity 111 through the first surface 131 under the action of gravity, thereby increasing the speed at which the sewage enters the sludge-containing cavity 111 through the filter hole 191 and improving the efficiency of the sewage recovery unit 10 in recovering sewage. The angle between the first surface 131 of the first scraping part 13 and the surface to be cleaned can be 5°-30°, etc., and is not limited in this disclosure.
[0143] At least one edge of the first surface 131 that is connected to the second surface 133 abuts against the mop 300. When the edge is straight, the edge can provide high local pressure, quickly scraping off the dirt on the mop 300 that abuts against the edge. After being filtered by the filter section 19, the wastewater in the dirt can quickly flow into the dirt chamber 111, improving the cleaning efficiency of the mop 300.
[0144] Please refer to Figures 4 and 11. In some embodiments, the recycling component 10 further includes a filter section 19. The filter section 19 has filter holes 191 that connect to the outside and the sludge chamber 111, allowing wastewater in the sludge to enter the sludge chamber 111 and blocking solid waste in the sludge from entering the sludge chamber 111. The first scraping part 13 includes a first surface 131, a second surface 133, and a second transition surface 135. The first surface 131 is an inner surface of the filter hole 191. The second transition surface 135 connects the first surface 131 and the second surface 133. At least one edge of the first surface 131 connected to the second surface 133 abuts against the wiping component 300. The edge is an arc surface.
[0145] Specifically, in Figure 11(b), the second transition surface 135 connects the first surface 131 and the second surface 133, providing a smooth transition area. This helps reduce the accumulation of dirt between the first surface 131 and the second surface 133, ensuring that dirt can smoothly enter the dirt-holding chamber 111 from the first surface 131 through the filter hole 191. The smooth second transition surface 135 also reduces the friction between the mop 300 and the first scraper 13 during rotation, thereby extending the service life of the mop 300 and the first scraper 13, and also reducing maintenance costs.
[0146] The curved edges reduce localized pressure on the wiping element 300, preventing excessive wear or damage due to excessive localized pressure. This helps reduce excessive scraping of the wiping element 300 by the first transition surface 159, preventing wastewater from overflowing from the contact area between the first transition surface 159 and the wiping element 300 due to excessive scraping force, thus reducing the risk of leakage. The curved edges also reduce wastewater overflow caused by excessive scraping force. Because the pressure distribution is more uniform, dirt is less likely to be excessively squeezed during scraping, reducing the possibility of wastewater overflowing from the contact area, lowering the risk of leakage, and improving the sealing and reliability of the cleaning equipment 10001.
[0147] Please refer to Figure 6 or Figure 9. In some embodiments, in the direction from the rear to the front of the cleaning device 10001, the support portion 15 does not extend beyond the first scraping portion 13. The front portion is the part of the cleaning device 10001 that is forward in the forward direction M, and the rear portion is the part of the cleaning device 10001 that is rearward in the forward direction M.
[0148] Specifically, in the forward direction M, the cleaning device 10001 has a forward part at the front and a rear part at the rear. By placing the support part 15 at the rear of the first scraping part 13 and not extending beyond the first scraping part 13, it can be ensured that during the cleaning process, the mop 300 can contact the first scraping part 13, and the first scraping part 13 can scrape off most of the dirt on the mop 300.
[0149] In some embodiments, in the direction from the rear to the front of the cleaning device 10001, the support portion 15 is flush with the first scraping portion 13, so that the support portion 15 and the first scraping portion 13 can scrape dirt off the mop 300, thereby improving the scraping effect on the mop 300.
[0150] In some embodiments, in the direction from the rear to the front of the cleaning device 10001, the first scraping part 13 protrudes from the support part 15, reducing the friction between the support part 15 and the mopping member 300, so that the support part 15 does not have the scraping function on the mopping member 300, or reduces the scraping ability, and avoids water leakage of the cleaning device.
[0151] The support part 15 is located at the rear, which reduces wear and energy loss caused by excessive friction between the support part 15 and the wiping part 300, thus improving the service life and working efficiency of the cleaning equipment 10001.
[0152] Please refer to Figure 6. In some embodiments, the second scraping part 31 is one and is disposed on either the left or right side of the housing 30 in the length direction X.
[0153] Specifically, in some embodiments, the number of second scraping parts 31 can be set according to the configuration of the support part 15. For example, if the cleaning device 10001 is only provided with a drain pipe or a first sewage outlet 181, then only one support part 15 and one second scraping part 31 need to be provided.
[0154] Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the second scraping portion 31 includes two parts, which are disposed on the left and right sides along the length direction X of the housing 30. The two second scraping portions 31 are symmetrical about the midline of the length of the housing 30.
[0155] Specifically, if the cleaning device 10001 needs to be equipped with a drain pipe and a first sewage outlet 181, then two support parts 15 and two second scraping parts 31 need to be provided at both ends of the dirt-holding cavity 111. In other embodiments, the number of second scraping parts 31 and support parts 15 may not correspond. The two second scraping parts 31 are symmetrical about the midline of the length of the housing 30. This makes the force on the wiping component 300 more uniform when rotating, avoiding unnecessary vibration or displacement of the device during operation due to uneven distribution of components.
[0156] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, the housing 30 includes a housing body 35 and an end cap 33. The end cap 33 is located on the left and right sides of the housing body 35 along the length direction X. The length direction X of the housing body 35 is parallel to the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300. Along the length direction X of the housing body 35, one end of the second smearing part 31 is adjacent to the end cap 33; and / or one end of the support part 15 is adjacent to the end cap 33.
[0157] Specifically, the end cap 33 and the shell body 35 form a receiving space, in which the recovery component 10 and the dragging component 300 are both located.
[0158] Exemplarily, two end caps 33 are included, located on the left and right sides of the shell body 35 along the length direction X. The end caps 33 can restrict the left and right movement of the wiping member 300 in the length direction X, ensuring the stability of the wiping member 300 during rotation along the first direction R. In some embodiments, the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 are an integral structure, that is, the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 are a single unit, thereby improving the bonding strength between the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 and preventing separation of the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 during the operation of the recycling member 10, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the recycling member 10. In other embodiments, the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 are separate structures, that is, the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 are two different structures. In one example, the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 can be joined together by a detachable connection, including but not limited to snap-fit connections or threaded connections. In another example, the end caps 33 and the shell body 35 can be joined together by a non-detachable connection, including but not limited to bonding or welding. The two end caps 33 and the shell body 35 of this disclosure are integrally formed, which can further strengthen the structural strength of the shell 30, prevent the recycling component 10 from deforming under the force of the dragging component 300, and further prevent the recycling component 100 from leaking water.
[0159] When one end of the second scraping part 31 is adjacent to the end cap 33, its position along the length X of the housing body 35 can be restricted, ensuring its stability during cleaning and thus improving the scraping effect. It also optimizes the space utilization of the housing 30, making the fit between the second scraping part 31 and the end cap 33 tighter and reducing wasted internal space. Adjacency includes both abutting and non-abutting implementations. When the second scraping part 31 abuts the end cap 33, there is no gap between them, further enhancing structural stability and preventing displacement of the second scraping part 31 due to vibration or external force during cleaning. Furthermore, abutting can reduce wastewater leakage between the second scraping part 31 and the end cap 33. When the second scraping part 31 and the end cap 33 do not abut, a certain gap exists between them. This gap acts as a buffer space, preventing damage to the second scraping part 31 when external forces are applied to the end cap 33.
[0160] When one end of the support portion 15 is adjacent to the end cap 33, the position of the support portion 15 in the length direction X of the shell body 35 can be restricted, ensuring its stability during cleaning and thus improving the support effect. It can also optimize the internal space utilization of the shell 30, making the fit between the support portion 15 and the end cap 33 tighter and reducing wasted internal space. The adjacent arrangement includes two implementations: abutting and non-abutting. When the support portion 15 abuts the end cap 33, there is no gap between them, which further enhances the stability of the structure and prevents the support portion 15 from shifting due to vibration or external force during cleaning. When the support portion 15 and the end cap 33 do not abut, there is a certain gap between them. This gap can act as a buffer space, preventing damage to the support portion 15 when external forces are transmitted to it, especially when external forces act on the end cap 33.
[0161] Please refer to Figure 6. In some embodiments, during the cleaning process of the cleaning device 10001 cleaning the surface to be cleaned, the length direction X of the main body 11 is parallel to the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300.
[0162] Specifically, the length direction X of the body portion 11 is the extending direction of the body portion 11. The rotation axis S of the mopping member 300 is the rotation center line when the mopping member 300 rotates along the first direction R. The length direction X of the body portion 11 is parallel to the rotation axis S of the mopping member 300. This optimizes the layout between the body portion 11 and the mopping member 300, making their structures more compact. Furthermore, it ensures that the interaction force between the mopping member 300 and the body portion 11 during rotation is evenly distributed along the length direction X, reducing asymmetrical forces and extending the service life of both the body portion 11 and the mopping member 300.
[0163] Similarly, in some embodiments, the extension direction of the dirt-holding cavity 111 is consistent with the direction of the rotation axis S, which makes the structure of the dirt-holding cavity 111 and the wiping member 300 more compact. It can also make the sewage scraped off by the first scraping part 13 evenly distributed along the dirt-holding cavity 111, avoiding local accumulation of sewage that could cause blockage of the dirt-holding cavity 111.
[0164] In some embodiments, the extending direction (length direction X) of the first scraping portion 13 is parallel to the rotation axis S. When the mopping member 300 rotates around the rotation axis S along the first direction R, the first scraping portion 13 contacts the cleaning surface of the mopping member 300 and exerts a mutual force. Since the extending direction of the first scraping portion 13 is consistent with the direction of the rotation axis S, the force exerted by the first scraping portion 13 relative to the mopping member 300 is evenly distributed along the axial direction of the rotation axis S. Therefore, the first scraping portion 13 can evenly scrape away dirt from the cleaning surface of the mopping member 300, ensuring consistent cleaning results.
[0165] Referring to Figure 3, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 10001 includes a spray bar 9000. The spray bar 9000 is used to provide cleaning fluid to the mop 300. After the mop 300 has mopped the surface to be cleaned, the spray bar 9000 provides cleaning fluid to the mop 300 so that dirt and cleaning fluid on the mop 300 mix to form grime. The second scraping part 31 and the first scraping part 13 then scrape off the grime in sequence so that it flows into the grime chamber 111.
[0166] Specifically, in the forward direction M of the cleaning device 10001, the recovery component 10 is located behind the mopping component 300, and the front side of the mopping component 300 is provided with a spraying strip 9000. The spraying strip 9000 can spray cleaning liquid to wet the mopping component 300, and the mopping component 300 can mop the surface to be cleaned in a wet state. After mopping the surface to be cleaned, the mopping component 300 carries dirt. During the rotation of the mop 300 along the first direction R, since the second scraping part 31 is located upstream of the first scraping part, at least part of the dirt rolled up by the mop 300 from the surface to be cleaned will be scraped off by the second scraping part 31 before rotating to the area corresponding to the support part 15. The dirt scraped off by the second scraping part 31 will then flow into the dirt-containing cavity 111. When the mop 300 continues to rotate to the first scraping part 13, the first scraping part 13 will further scrape off the remaining dirt on the mop 300, ensuring that the clean surface of the mop 300 remains clean.
[0167] In the forward direction M of the cleaning device 10001, the water spraying strip 9000 is arranged on the front side of the mopping component 300, and the recycling component 10 is arranged on the rear side of the mopping component 300. This allows the area where the cleaning surface of the mopping component 300 is wetted to be as far away as possible from the area scraped by the first scraping part 13 and the second scraping part 31. This extends the time that the cleaning surface of the mopping component 300 is soaked in the cleaning liquid, so that the scraping part can remove more dirt when scraping the mopping component 300.
[0168] Please refer to Figure 4. In some embodiments, the support portion 15 is connected to the body portion 11.
[0169] Specifically, in one example, the support portion 15 is connected to other parts of the recycling component 10 (e.g., the body portion 11), as long as the support portion 15 can support the first scraping portion 13 located at one or both ends of the dirt-containing cavity 111. In some embodiments, the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 are an integral structure, that is, the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 are a single unit, thereby improving the bonding strength between the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 and preventing separation of the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 during the operation of the recycling component 10, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the operation of the recycling component 10. In other embodiments, the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 are separate structures, that is, the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 are two different structures. In one example, the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 can be joined together by a detachable connection, including but not limited to snap-fit connections or threaded connections. In another example, the support portion 15 and the body portion 11 can be joined together by a non-detachable connection, including but not limited to bonding or welding. In this disclosure, the main body 11, the support 15, and the first scraping part 13 are integrally formed. In the embodiment where the recycling component 10 also includes a filter part 19, the filter part 19, the main body 11, the support 15, and the first scraping part 13 are integrally formed. In this way, the structural strength of the recycling component 10 can be further enhanced, preventing the recycling component 10 from deforming under the force of the dragging and wiping component 300, and further preventing the recycling component 100 from leaking water.
[0170] Referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, the support portion 15 is mounted on the housing 30 and located on at least one side of the body portion 11 in the longitudinal direction X. The support portion 15 is connected to the housing 30.
[0171] Specifically, in another example, the support 15 is connected to the housing 30; that is, the support 15 can be installed on the housing 30 as a structure independent of the recyclable component 10. The connection to the housing 30 can be detachable or non-detachable, increasing the flexibility of the support 15's installation. Alternatively, the support 15 can be part of the housing 30, integrally formed with the housing 30, which can improve the strength of both the support 15 and the housing 30.
[0172] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the support portion 15 includes a first support portion 151 and a second support portion 153. The first support portion 151 is disposed on one side of the body portion 11 in the longitudinal direction X, and the second support portion 153 is disposed on the other side of the body portion 11 in the longitudinal direction X. The first support portion 151 protrudes from the dirt-containing cavity 111 to form a first avoidance space 171, which is used for installing other structures of the recycling component 10 or other structures of the cleaning device 10001. The second support portion 153 protrudes from the dirt-containing cavity 111 and forms a second avoidance space 173, which is used for installing other structures of the recycling component 10 or the cleaning device 10001.
[0173] Specifically, the sludge-containing cavity 111 is provided with a first sewage outlet 181 near the first avoidance space 171, and the sludge-containing cavity 111 is provided with a second sewage outlet 183 near the second avoidance space 173. The first sewage outlet 181 is located to the side of the sludge-containing cavity 111 in the length direction X, and the second sewage outlet 183 is located above the sludge-containing cavity 111 in the height direction Z. When the cleaning device 10001 is in the state of wiping the surface to be cleaned, the sewage scraped off by the first scraping part 13, the second scraping part 31 and the support part 15 is temporarily stored in the sludge-containing cavity 111.
[0174] For example, the first avoidance space 171 is used to install a sewage pipe, which connects the sludge-containing cavity 111 and the cleaning base station 10003 for maintaining the cleaning equipment 10001. The first support portion 151 protrudes away from the recovery member 10. Thus, in the forward direction M, a certain empty area is formed on the side of the support portion 15 away from the dragging member 300, which is the first avoidance space 171. In one forming method, the first avoidance space 171 can be processed by partial cutting or mold forming, and its shape is generally a regular rectangular groove, but it can also be an irregular irregular groove depending on the layout of the cleaning equipment 10001. The first avoidance space 171 is located at one end of the length direction X of the sludge-containing cavity 111. In cases where it is necessary to discharge wastewater from the sludge chamber 111 to the cleaning base station 10003 or to the outside of the cleaning system 10000 (such as a floor drain in a household toilet), at least a portion of the wastewater pipe is installed within the first avoidance space 171. The inlet end of the wastewater pipe is connected to the sludge chamber 111, and the outlet end of the wastewater pipe is capable of discharging wastewater from the sludge chamber 111 to the outside of the recycling component 10. The first avoidance space 171 provides installation space for the wastewater pipe, allowing it to be compactly integrated within the first avoidance space 171 without affecting the functional layout of other components.
[0175] Exemplarily, the second avoidance space 173 is used to avoid other structures of the cleaning device 10001. The second avoidance space 173 is used to house the second wastewater outlet 183. The wastewater box 500 of the cleaning device 10001 is connected to the sludge-containing cavity 111 through the second wastewater outlet 183. The mopping component 300 can mop the surface to be cleaned while simultaneously collecting the wastewater generated during mopping into the wastewater box 500 through the second wastewater outlet 183, thus realizing the self-cleaning function of the mopping component 300 in the cleaning device 10001. The setting position, setting height, shape, and size of the second wastewater outlet 183 can be arbitrarily set, and this disclosure does not limit it. Exemplarily, the second wastewater outlet 183 of this disclosure is located above the sludge-containing cavity 111 in the height direction Z, thereby making full use of the volume of the sludge-containing cavity 111 to temporarily store wastewater.
[0176] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, in the direction parallel to the axial direction of the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300, the length L1 of the second scraping part 31 and the length L2 of the support part 15 satisfy: L1 = 0.8L2 ~ 1.8L2.
[0177] Specifically, the length L1 of the second scraping part 31 and the length L2 of the support part 15 satisfy the following conditions: L1 = 0.8L2, L1 = 0.88L2, L1 = 0.9L2, L1 = 1.1L2, L1 = 1.2L2, L1 = 1.3L2, L1 = 1.4L2, L1 = 1.5L2, L1 = 1.6L2, or L1 = 1.8L2. If L1 is less than 0.8L2, the coverage area of the second scraping part 31 is insufficient to cooperate with the support part 15 to complete the scraping, resulting in some areas of sewage not being scraped off in time, thereby increasing the risk of leakage at the support part 15. If L1 is greater than 1.8L2, the second scraping part 31 may interfere with the normal operation of the first scraping part 13 due to excessive extension, affecting the overall cleaning effect. Within the range of L1 = 0.8L2 to 1.8L2, the second scraping part 31 can not only fully cover the scraping area required by the support part 15, but also work in conjunction with the first scraping part 13 to ensure the scraping effect of the recovery part 10 and reduce the risk of water leakage.
[0178] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, in the direction parallel to the axial direction of the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300, the length L1 of the second scraping part 31 and the length L3 of the dirt-containing cavity 111 satisfy: L1 = 0.05L3 ~ 0.3L3.
[0179] Specifically, the length L1 of the second scraping part 31 and the length L3 of the dirt-containing cavity 111 satisfy the following conditions: L1 = 0.05L3, L1 = 0.08L3, L1 = 0.1L3, L1 = 0.11L3, L1 = 0.12L3, L1 = 0.15L3, L1 = 0.18L3, L1 = 0.22L3, L1 = 0.26L3, or L1 = 0.3L3. If L1 is less than 0.05L3, the length of the second scraping part 31 is too short and cannot effectively cover the inlet area of the dirt-containing cavity 111, making it difficult for sewage to flow smoothly into the dirt-containing cavity 111, and sewage overflow is likely to occur during the cleaning process. When L1 is greater than 0.3L3, the second scraping part 31 may extend excessively into the dirt-containing cavity 111, affecting the normal storage function of the dirt-containing cavity 111, and even obstructing the flow of sewage. L1 = 0.05L3 ~ 0.3L3, the second scraping part 31 can guide sewage into the sludge chamber 111 without interfering with the internal structure of the sludge chamber 111.
[0180] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, in the direction parallel to the axial direction of the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300, the length L2 of the support portion 15 and the length L3 of the dirt-containing cavity 111 satisfy: L2 = 0.05L3 ~ 0.15L3.
[0181] Specifically, the length L2 of the support portion 15 and the length L3 of the sludge-containing cavity 111 satisfy the following conditions: L2 = 0.05L3, L2 = 0.06L3, L2 = 0.07L3, L2 = 0.08L3, L2 = 0.09L3, L2 = 0.1L3, L2 = 0.12L3, L2 = 0.13L3, L2 = 0.14L3, or L2 = 0.15L3. If L2 is less than 0.05L3, the length of the support portion 15 is insufficient, and it cannot reserve installation space for other structures of the recycling component 10 or other structures of the cleaning equipment 10001, affecting the interaction between the recycling component 100 and other structures of the cleaning equipment 10001. When L2 is greater than 0.15L3, the support portion 15 may excessively occupy the space of the sludge-containing cavity 111, reducing the volume of the sludge-containing cavity 111 and affecting the capacity of the sludge-containing cavity 111 to collect sewage. L2 = 0.05L3 ~ 0.15L3. The support part 15 can provide necessary support for the second scraping part 31 and ensure that the sludge chamber 111 has enough space to hold the sewage and maintain the good performance of the cleaning equipment 10001.
[0182] For example, in one configuration, in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rotation axis S of the wiping member 300, the length L1 of the second scraping part 31 is 31.5 mm, the length L2 of the support part 15 is 22 mm, and the length L3 of the dirt-containing cavity 111 is 225 mm.
[0183] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this disclosure, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this disclosure, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
