[0041] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed description will be omitted.

[0042] Although relative terms such as "up" and "down" are used in this specification to describe the relative relationship of one component of an icon to another, these terms are used only for convenience, such as according to the orientation of the examples shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that if the device of the icon is flipped upside down, the component described as "up" will become the component described as "down." When a structure is "up" of another structure, it may mean that the structure is integrally formed on the other structure, or that the structure is "directly" mounted on the other structure, or that the structure is "indirectly" mounted on the other structure through another structure.

[0043] The terms “a,” “one,” “the,” and “the” are used to indicate the existence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms “including” and “having” are used to indicate an open-ended inclusion meaning and that there may be other elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.; the terms “first” and “second” are used only as markers and are not a limitation on the number of objects.

[0044] In related technologies, when the squeegee encounters an obstacle, the cleaning equipment needs to lift the entire cleaning module to raise the squeegee. However, when the entire cleaning module is raised, the cleaning unit cannot clean the surface to be cleaned, resulting in a decrease in the cleaning effect of the equipment. Furthermore, the solution of raising the entire cleaning module is costly and has a short service life.

[0045] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a floating scraper assembly, a cleaning module, a cleaning device, and a cleaning system. This floating scraper assembly, cleaning device, and cleaning system offer good cleaning performance, low cost, and long service life.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, this disclosure first provides a floating scraper assembly 1. The floating scraper assembly 1 can be located within a cleaning module, that is, the floating scraper assembly 1 can be part of the cleaning module. The cleaning module may further include a cleaning section 2. The cleaning section 2 can be used to clean the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning section 2 can be a sweeping brush, but is not limited to this; the cleaning section 2 can also be a vacuuming structure, a washing structure, etc.

[0047] The floating scraper assembly 1 may include a floating bracket 11, a fixed bracket 14, and a scraper 12. The floating bracket 11 can be mounted on the fixed bracket 14, and the floating bracket 11 and the fixed bracket 14 are slidably engaged, allowing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. In this embodiment, by providing the fixed bracket 14, a stable mounting position for the floating bracket 11 and a mounting position for the cleaning unit 2 can be provided. The scraper 12 can be mounted on one side of the floating bracket 11.

[0048] When the scraper blade 12 encounters an obstacle, the obstacle exerts an external force on the scraper blade 12. The scraper blade 12 transmits this force to the floating bracket 11, causing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. This allows the scraper blade 12 to rise and cross the obstacle, preventing damage to the scraper blade 12. After the scraper blade 12 crosses the obstacle, the floating bracket 11 returns to its initial state, allowing the scraper blade 12 to return to its initial position.

[0049] Therefore, the floating scraper assembly 1 provided in this disclosure can overcome obstacles simply by raising the floating support 11 when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle. Thus, the technical solution provided in this disclosure does not require the entire cleaning module to be raised when the scraper 12 needs to overcome an obstacle, allowing the cleaning unit 2 to continue cleaning the surface to be cleaned even when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0050] Furthermore, the structure of this disclosure is simple, thereby reducing production costs. At the same time, since it is not necessary to lift the entire cleaning module, the forces exerted on each structural component when crossing obstacles are smaller, thus increasing the service life of each component and consequently extending the service life of the cleaning equipment.

[0051] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the floating support 11 may include a first main body 111 and a first limiting part 112. The first limiting part 112 may be disposed on the first main body 111, and the scraper 12 may be installed on the first main body 111.

[0052] The fixed support 14 may include a second main body 141 and a second limiting part 142, the second limiting part 142 being disposed on the second main body 141. The second limiting part 142 can slide and cooperate with the first limiting part 112. With this configuration, by setting the first limiting part 112 and the second limiting part 142, the movement direction of the floating support 11 can be precisely limited, so that the movement of the floating support 11 will not deviate, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the floating support 11 and ensuring that the scraper 12 can be smoothly lifted when encountering obstacles.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first limiting part 112 can be a slider, and the second limiting part 142 can be a groove extending along the first direction X. The slider can be disposed within the groove and slide in cooperation with it. Alternatively, the first limiting part 112 can be a groove extending along the first direction X, and the second limiting part 142 can be a slider, which can be disposed within the groove and slide in cooperation with it. That is, the slider can move within the limiting groove along the first direction X or in a direction opposite to the first direction X. For example, when the cleaning equipment is in operation, the first direction X can be perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned.

[0054] However, it is not limited to this. The first limiting part 112 and the second limiting part 142 can also be other structures that can slide together. For example, the first limiting part 112 can be a slider, and the second limiting part 142 can be a slide rail, etc. It can be set according to actual needs. All of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0055] The floating support 11 may include at least two first limiting portions 112, which may be respectively disposed at both ends of the first main body portion 111 in the second direction Y. The second direction Y may be the extension direction of the floating support 11, and the second direction Y is different from the first direction X.

[0056] The fixed bracket 14 may include at least two second limiting portions 142, which can be configured one-to-one with at least two first limiting portions 112. That is, it can be understood that each second limiting portion 142 can correspond to one first limiting portion 112, and the setting position of each second limiting portion 142 also corresponds to the setting position of its corresponding first limiting portion 112, so that each second limiting portion 142 can be limited and cooperated with its corresponding first limiting portion 112.

[0057] This configuration allows the floating bracket 11 to have support and limit at both ends in the second direction Y, further ensuring the accuracy of the floating bracket 11's movement in the first direction X or the opposite direction to the first direction X. This further avoids the problem of the floating bracket 11 deviating during movement, thereby further improving the stability of the floating bracket 11's movement and further ensuring that the scraper 12 can be lifted smoothly when it encounters an obstacle.

[0058] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the floating support 11 may further include a connecting reinforcement 113. The first main body 111 and the first limiting part 112 can be connected by the connecting reinforcement 113, and the connecting reinforcement 113 can be configured to improve the connection strength between the first main body 111 and the first limiting part 112, thereby improving the connection stability between the first main body 111 and the first limiting part 112 and increasing the service life of the floating support 11.

[0059] In one embodiment, the floating support 11 can be a one-piece structure, meaning that the first main body 111, the first limiting part 112, and the connecting reinforcement 113 are manufactured simultaneously using an integrated process, without the need for bonding, threaded connections, or other connection methods to connect them. This design reduces the number of connection points between the first main body 111, the first limiting part 112, and the connecting reinforcement 113, thereby reducing the probability of breakage at these connection points and further improving the service life of the floating support 11.

[0060] However, it is not limited to this. The floating bracket 11 can also be a split structure, that is, the first main body 111, the first limiting part 112 and the connecting reinforcement 113 can be manufactured separately and then connected together by bonding, threaded connection or other connection methods to form the floating bracket 11. With this configuration, each part of the floating bracket 11 can be manufactured separately, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the floating bracket 11.

[0061] The floating support 11 may have a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other. When the floating scraper assembly 1 is installed on the cleaning equipment and cleaning work is performed, the first side of the floating support 11 may be close to the surface to be cleaned relative to the second side of the floating support 11.

[0062] The scraper 12 can be installed on the first side of the floating bracket 11 to gather dirt or water stains on the surface to be cleaned, so that the cleaning unit 2 can clean it.

[0063] The deformation element 13 can be disposed on the second side of the floating support 11. The deformation element 13 can be configured to cause the scraper 12 and the floating support 11 to move relative to the fixed support 14 through deformation. That is, it can be understood that when the deformation element 13 is subjected to force, it deforms, causing the scraper 12 and the floating support 11 to move relative to the fixed support 14. When the deformation element 13 is not subjected to force, it returns to its initial state, causing the scraper 12 and the floating support 11 to return to their initial positions.

[0064] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the scraper blade 12 encounters an obstacle, the obstacle exerts an external force on the scraper blade 12. The scraper blade 12 transmits this force to the deformation element 13, causing the deformation element 13 to deform. This deformation allows the scraper blade 12 and the floating support 11 to rise relative to the fixed support 14, thus enabling the scraper blade 12 to cross the obstacle and avoid damage. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, after the scraper blade 12 crosses the obstacle, the deformation element 13 returns to its initial state, allowing the scraper blade 12 and the floating support 11 to move in opposite directions, thus returning the scraper blade 12 to its initial position.

[0065] In one embodiment, the deformation element 13 can be a flexible element. This configuration allows the deformation element 13 to have better support performance, thereby improving the stability of the floating support 11 and the scraper 12 during movement.

[0066] The material of the deformable element 13 may include one or more of flexible plastics, rubber, and silicone. For example, the deformable element 13 may be made of soft rubber, etc. However, it is not limited to this, and the material of the deformable element 13 may also include other materials, which can be selected and set according to actual needs, all of which are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0067] In another embodiment, the deformation element 13 can also be an elastic element, such as a spring. This configuration allows the deformation element 13 to have higher structural strength, thereby improving its load-bearing capacity and service life.

[0068] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 5 to 7, the deformable element 13 may include a first fixing part 131. The fixing bracket 14 may include a second fixing part 143. The deformable element 13 and the fixing bracket 14 can be fixedly connected through the first fixing part 131 and the second fixing part 143. This arrangement can ensure the installation stability of the deformable element 13 and prevent the deformable element 13 from detaching when deformation occurs.

[0069] In one embodiment, the deformable element 13 can be a flexible element. The first fixing part 131 can be a fixing hole, and the second fixing part 143 can be a fixing block, which can be located inside the fixing hole to fix the deformable element 13 and the fixing bracket 14. Alternatively, the first fixing part 131 can be a fixing block, and the second fixing part 143 can be a fixing hole, which can be located inside the fixing hole to fix the deformable element 13 and the fixing bracket 14. This arrangement facilitates the installation and removal of the deformable element 13, facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the deformable element 13, and reduces the workload of operators.

[0070] However, it is not limited to this. The first fixing part 131 and the second fixing part 143 may not be fixing holes or fixing blocks. They may be other fixing structures, such as the first fixing part 131 being a slot and the second fixing part 143 being a snap-fit ​​block. They can be selected and set according to the actual situation, and all of them are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0071] The first fixing part 131 can be located on the side of the deformable element 13 facing away from the floating support 11. That is, it can be understood that the second fixing part 143 is also located on the side of the fixing support 14 facing away from the floating support 11, so as to facilitate a fixed connection with the first fixing part 131. By providing the first fixing part 131 on the side of the deformable element 13 facing away from the floating support 11, this disclosure makes it easier to install and remove the deformable element 13.

[0072] In one embodiment, the deformable element 13 may be provided with a receiving groove 132 extending along a first direction X. The fixing bracket 14 may further include a fixing connecting plate 144. At least a portion of the fixing connecting plate 144 may be disposed within the receiving groove 132, and a second fixing part 143 is disposed on the portion of the fixing connecting plate 144 located within the receiving groove 132. That is, it can be understood that the deformable element 13 can clamp a portion of the fixing connecting plate 144 therein, thereby using the fixing connecting plate 144 not only to fix the deformable element 13, but also to limit the deformable element 13, thereby further improving the installation stability of the deformable element 13 and further preventing the deformable element 13 from detaching during deformation.

[0073] In one embodiment, the deformable element 13 may include at least two first fixing parts 131, which are spaced apart along a second direction Y. The fixing bracket 14 may include at least two second fixing parts 143, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least two first fixing parts 131. That is, each second fixing part 143 can correspond to one first fixing part 131, and the position of each second fixing part 143 also corresponds to the position of its corresponding first fixing part 131, so that each second fixing part 143 can be connected to its corresponding first fixing part 131. This arrangement can increase the number of connection points between the deformable element 13 and the fixing bracket 14, thereby improving the connection strength and stability between the deformable element 13 and the fixing bracket.

[0074] The deformation element 13 may include a plurality of first fixing parts 131, and the spacing between any two adjacent first fixing parts 131 in the second direction Y is the same. That is, it can be understood that, in order to ensure the connection between the first fixing parts 131 and the second fixing parts 143, the fixing bracket 14 may be provided with a plurality of second fixing parts 143, and the spacing between the plurality of second fixing parts 143 in the second direction Y is also the same. This arrangement ensures that each connection point between the deformation element 13 and the fixing bracket 14 is subjected to uniform force, avoiding the problem of breakage due to excessive force at some connection points, thereby improving the service life of the floating scraper assembly 1.

[0075] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 7, the fixing bracket 14 may further include a fixing reinforcement 145. A portion of the deformable element 13 may be located between the fixing connecting plate 144 and the fixing reinforcement 145, and the fixing reinforcement 145 may abut against the outer wall of the deformable element 13. This arrangement allows the fixing reinforcement 145 and the fixing connecting plate 144 to clamp a portion of the deformable element 13, thereby further improving the installation stability of the deformable element 13 and further preventing the deformable element 13 from detaching during deformation.

[0076] The fixed bracket 14 may include at least two fixing reinforcements 145, which may be spaced apart along the second direction Y. This arrangement can improve the installation stability of the deformation element 13 by increasing the number of fixing reinforcements 145.

[0077] The fixed bracket 14 may include multiple fixed reinforcing members 145. The spacing between any two adjacent fixed reinforcing members 145 in the second direction Y can be the same. This arrangement ensures that each contact point between the fixed reinforcing member 145 and the deformation element 13 is subjected to uniform force, avoiding the problem of excessive force on some contact points leading to damage to the deformation element 13 or breakage of the fixed reinforcing member 145, thereby further improving the service life of the floating scraper assembly 1.

[0078] The aforementioned fixing reinforcement 145 can be a structural reinforcing rib of the fixing bracket 14. With this configuration, this disclosure can simultaneously improve the installation stability of the deformation element 13 and enhance the structural strength of the fixing bracket 14 simply by setting the fixing reinforcement 145.

[0079] In one embodiment of this disclosure, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the floating scraper assembly 1 may further include a cleaning section housing 15. A fixed bracket 14 may be disposed on the cleaning section housing 15. The side of the deformable element 13 near the floating bracket 11 may be connected to the floating bracket 11, and the side of the deformable element 13 away from the scraper 12 may contact the cleaning section housing 15. That is, it can be understood that when the scraper 12 is subjected to external force, the deformable element 13 can be compressed by the floating bracket 11 and the cleaning section housing 15, causing the deformable element 13 to deform, so that the floating bracket 11 and the scraper 12 can move relative to the fixed bracket 14. When the scraper 12 is not subjected to external force, the cleaning section housing 15 can stop and limit the recovery of the deformable element 13, ensuring that the deformable element 13 can return to its initial state.

[0080] In one embodiment, the side of the deformable element 13 facing away from the scraper 12 can be connected to the cleaning unit housing 15, which can improve the stability of the deformable element 13.

[0081] This disclosure also provides a cleaning module. As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the cleaning module may include the floating scraper assembly 1 described above.

[0082] It should be noted that the specific structure and beneficial effects of the floating scraper assembly 1 have been described in detail in the previous embodiment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the specific structure and beneficial effects of the floating scraper assembly 1 will not be described again. Please refer to the specific description in the previous embodiment. All of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0083] The cleaning module provided in this disclosure includes the aforementioned floating scraper assembly 1, which comprises a floating bracket 11, a fixed bracket 14, and a scraper 12. The floating bracket 11 can be mounted on the fixed bracket 14, and the floating bracket 11 and the fixed bracket 14 are slidably engaged, allowing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. This embodiment, by providing the fixed bracket 14, can provide a stable mounting position for the floating bracket 11 and also provide a mounting position for the cleaning unit 2. The scraper 12 can be mounted on one side of the floating bracket 11.

[0084] When the scraper blade 12 encounters an obstacle, the obstacle exerts an external force on the scraper blade 12. The scraper blade 12 transmits this force to the floating bracket 11, causing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. This allows the scraper blade 12 to rise and cross the obstacle, preventing damage to the scraper blade 12. After the scraper blade 12 crosses the obstacle, the floating bracket 11 returns to its initial state, allowing the scraper blade 12 to return to its initial position.

[0085] Therefore, the floating scraper assembly 1 provided in this disclosure can overcome obstacles simply by raising the floating support 11 when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle. Thus, compared to the prior art, the technical solution provided in this disclosure eliminates the need to raise the entire cleaning module when the scraper 12 needs to overcome an obstacle. This allows the cleaning unit 2 to continue cleaning the surface even when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0086] Furthermore, the present disclosure has a simpler structure compared to existing technologies, thereby reducing production costs. Simultaneously, since it eliminates the need to lift the entire cleaning module, the forces exerted on each structural component when crossing obstacles are reduced, thus extending the lifespan of each component and consequently improving the overall lifespan of the cleaning equipment.

[0087] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the cleaning module may include a cleaning section 2. The cleaning section 2 can be used to clean the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning section 2 can be a cleaning brush, that is, the cleaning module can be applied to cleaning equipment such as sweeping robots, floor sweepers, and floor scrubbers. However, it is not limited to this; the cleaning section 2 can also be a suction structure, a cleaning structure, etc., that is, the cleaning module can also be applied to cleaning equipment such as vacuum cleaners and cleaning machines.

[0088] In one embodiment, the floating scraper assembly 1 may include a fixed bracket 14, on which the cleaning part 2 may be mounted.

[0089] In another embodiment, the floating scraper assembly 1 may include a cleaning section housing 15, and the cleaning section 2 may be mounted on the cleaning section housing 15.

[0090] This disclosure also provides a cleaning device. As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the cleaning device may include the cleaning module described above. The cleaning device may be a robotic vacuum cleaner, a sweeping machine, a floor scrubber, a vacuum cleaner, a cleaning machine, or other cleaning equipment.

[0091] It should be noted that the specific structure and beneficial effects of the cleaning module have been described in detail in the previous embodiment. Therefore, in this embodiment, the specific structure and beneficial effects of the cleaning module will not be described again. Please refer to the specific description in the previous embodiment. All of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0092] The cleaning equipment provided in this disclosure includes the cleaning module described above, which includes a floating bracket 11, a fixed bracket 14, and a scraper 12. The floating bracket 11 can be mounted on the fixed bracket 14, and the floating bracket 11 and the fixed bracket 14 are slidably engaged, allowing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. In this embodiment, by providing the fixed bracket 14, a stable mounting position for the floating bracket 11 and a mounting position for the cleaning unit 2 can be provided. The scraper 12 can be mounted on one side of the floating bracket 11.

[0093] When the scraper blade 12 encounters an obstacle, the obstacle exerts an external force on the scraper blade 12. The scraper blade 12 transmits this force to the floating bracket 11, causing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. This allows the scraper blade 12 to rise and cross the obstacle, preventing damage to the scraper blade 12. After the scraper blade 12 crosses the obstacle, the floating bracket 11 returns to its initial state, allowing the scraper blade 12 to return to its initial position.

[0094] Therefore, the cleaning module provided by this disclosure can overcome obstacles simply by raising the floating support 11 when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle. Thus, the technical solution provided by this disclosure eliminates the need to raise the entire cleaning module when the scraper 12 needs to overcome an obstacle, allowing the cleaning unit 2 to continue cleaning the surface even when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning equipment.

[0095] Furthermore, the structure disclosed herein is simpler, thereby reducing production costs. Simultaneously, since it is not necessary to lift the entire cleaning module, the forces exerted on each structural component when crossing obstacles are reduced, thus extending the service life of each component and consequently improving the service life of the cleaning equipment.

[0096] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the cleaning device may further include a housing. The cleaning part housing 15 can be fixedly connected to the housing. This arrangement can prevent the cleaning part housing 15 from floating, and thus prevent the cleaning part 2 from floating, so that the cleaning part 2 can always be in contact with the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device.

[0097] The cleaning unit housing 15 and the housing can be an integral structure, meaning that the cleaning unit housing 15 and the housing are manufactured using an integrated process. This configuration can improve the connection strength between the cleaning unit housing 15 and the housing. However, it is not limited to this; the cleaning unit housing 15 and the housing can also be a separate structure, meaning that the cleaning unit housing 15 and the housing can be fixedly connected by means of bonding, screws, or other connection methods, which is also within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0098] This disclosure also provides a cleaning system. The cleaning system includes a base station and a cleaning device. The cleaning device can be the cleaning device described above, and the cleaning device is capable of interfacing with the base station. The base station can charge, replenish water, and clean the cleaning device, or suck up dirt stored in the cleaning device.

[0099] It should be noted that the specific structure and beneficial effects of the cleaning equipment have been described in detail in the previous embodiment. Therefore, the specific structure and beneficial effects of the cleaning equipment will not be described again in this embodiment. Please refer to the specific description in the previous embodiment. All of these are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0100] The cleaning system provided in this disclosure includes the cleaning equipment described above, as shown in Figures 1 to 7. The cleaning equipment includes a cleaning module, which comprises a floating bracket 11, a fixed bracket 14, and a scraper 12. The floating bracket 11 can be mounted on the fixed bracket 14, and the floating bracket 11 and the fixed bracket 14 are slidably engaged, allowing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. In this embodiment, by providing the fixed bracket 14, a stable mounting position for the floating bracket 11 and a mounting position for the cleaning unit 2 can be provided. The scraper 12 can be mounted on one side of the floating bracket 11.

[0101] When the scraper blade 12 encounters an obstacle, the obstacle exerts an external force on the scraper blade 12. The scraper blade 12 transmits this force to the floating bracket 11, causing the floating bracket 11 to move relative to the fixed bracket 14. This allows the scraper blade 12 to rise and cross the obstacle, preventing damage to the scraper blade 12. After the scraper blade 12 crosses the obstacle, the floating bracket 11 returns to its initial state, allowing the scraper blade 12 to return to its initial position.

[0102] Therefore, the cleaning module provided by this disclosure can overcome obstacles simply by raising the floating support 11 when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle. Thus, the technical solution provided by this disclosure eliminates the need to raise the entire cleaning module when the scraper 12 needs to overcome an obstacle, allowing the cleaning unit 2 to continue cleaning the surface even when the scraper 12 encounters an obstacle, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning system.

[0103] Furthermore, the structure of this disclosure is simple, thereby reducing production costs. At the same time, since it is not necessary to lift the entire cleaning module, the forces exerted on each structural component when crossing obstacles are smaller, thus increasing the service life of each component and consequently extending the service life of the cleaning system.

[0104] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
