Robot Mop Self-Cleaning Base to Reduce Secondary Pollution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot sweepers are unable to effectively clean the finishing cloth, leading to secondary pollution and increased user burden due to the need for manual assembly and disassembly, which results in incomplete floor cleaning.
Innovation Solution
A floor cleaning apparatus comprising a cleaning robot with a mop assembly and a washing base that includes a rinse tank and solution-feeding mechanism, allowing the finishing cloth to be automatically washed and cleaned, reducing the need for manual intervention and preventing secondary pollution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the finishing cloth is not cleaned, then the cleaning burden on users is reduced, but the floor cleaning quality deteriorates due to secondary pollution
Solution Approach 1:
The finishing cloth cleaning system enables the robot sweeper to automatically clean its own finishing cloth through the washing base. The system includes a rinse tank with washing components (spray holes, bristles, scraping plate) that automatically wash the finishing cloth during docking, eliminating the need for manual cleaning while maintaining cleaning quality.
2Device complexity
If manual assembly and disassembly is required for cleaning, then the structure is simple, but the operation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically cleans the finishing cloth through the washing base with rinse tank and washing components, eliminating the need for manual assembly and disassembly. The robot sweeper docks with the washing base and the finishing cloth is automatically washed while attached, improving operation convenience without significantly increasing structural complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the finishing cloth is continuously used without cleaning, then the operation is simple, but harmful effects increase due to secondary pollution
Solution Approach 1:
The washing base with rinse tank and washing components automatically cleans the finishing cloth during docking, preventing secondary pollution while maintaining operational simplicity. The system includes spray holes for wetting, bristles for scrubbing, and scraping plate for removing dirt and solution.
4Manufacturing precision
If automatic washing mechanism is added, then the cleaning quality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The washing base is designed as a separate module from the robot sweeper, with the rinse tank and washing components (spray holes, bristles, scraping plate) as distinct functional elements. This segmentation allows automatic washing functionality to be added without significantly increasing the complexity of the main robot sweeper structure.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The apparatus enables intelligent automatic cleaning, effectively removing dirt from the finishing cloth, reducing user burden, and improving the floor cleaning effect by automating the washing process, thereby preventing secondary pollution.
Implementation Method 1
Spray holes facing the finishing cloth are formed in the washing component. At least one group of bristles is erected on the washing component for cleaning the finishing cloth at a rotation state after wetted by a solution sprayed from the spray holes.
Implementation Method 2
At least one group of bristles is erected on the washing component for cleaning the finishing cloth at a rotation state after wetted by a solution sprayed from the spray holes.
Implementation Method 3
The washing component is also provided with a scraping plate for scraping the solution remaining on the finishing cloth.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a floor cleaning apparatus, comprises a cleaning robot and a washing base, and the cleaning robot comprises a robot main body and a mop assembly; the mop assembly is provided with a turntable-type mop mechanism able to stretch out downwards; the washing base comprises an outer container, a rinse tank and a solution-feeding mechanism. In the technical scheme disclosed, the automatic floor cleaning and finishing cloth washing are achieved so as to realize intelligent automatic cleaning, effectively removing dirt attached to the finishing cloth automatically, and freeing from artificially detaching and then washing the finishing cloth stained with dirt, automatically performing washing operation, and greatly alleviating operation burden of a user. Meanwhile, with the structure of the finishing cloth with a lifting structure, secondary pollution caused by the finishing cloth is avoided.
