Embodiment 1

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present embodiment provides a large to medium-size sweeping and mopping vehicle, comprising a vehicle body 270, and a disc-type sweeping mechanism, a round-roller-type sweeping mechanism and a first mopping mechanism that are sequentially disposed along the vehicle body 270. The disc-type sweeping mechanism is disposed in front of a driver zone of the vehicle body 270. The round-roller-type sweeping mechanism is disposed below the vehicle body 270. The first mopping mechanism is disposed behind the driver zone of the vehicle body 270.


The disc-type sweeping mechanism comprises a clean water tank 10, and disc-type sweeping edge brushes 180 driven by a motor and disposed obliquely with respect to the ground. The clean water tank 10 is disposed in front of the driver zone of the vehicle body 270. Each disc-type sweeping edge brush 180 is provided thereon with a nozzle, with the nozzle in communication with the clean water tank 10.


The disc-type sweeping edge brush 180 is suspended on the vehicle body 270 through a quadrilateral coupler 181. A first electric push rod 182 configured to control the height of the disc-type sweeping edge brush 180 is mounted on the quadrilateral coupler 181.


The disc-type sweeping edge brush 180 is driven by the first electric push rod 182 to descend at any time to sweep the ground or ascend at any time to stop the sweeping operation. In order to prevent dust from flying in the sweeping process, it is necessary to suck, using a water pump, water from the clean water tank 10 or filtered water, and spray, using the nozzle, the water onto the ground from above and in front of the disc-type sweeping edge brush 180. The round-roller-type sweeping mechanism comprises a refuse collector 140 and a round-roller-type main sweeping brush 150 driven by the motor to rotate horizontally. The upper portion of the refuse collector 140 is connected with the vehicle body 270 through four pull rods 151, wherein each pull rod 151 has two ends in shaft connection with the vehicle body. Wheels 152 are arranged below the refuse collector 140.


The round-roller-type sweeping mechanism is mainly used for collecting solid refuses with relatively large size, including leaves, paper scraps, plastic bags and other sundries, and is also used for collecting dust which has relatively small particle sizes and is large in number. The four pull rods 151 above the refuse collector 140 and the four wheels 152 below the refuse collector 140 as well as the adjusting screws connecting them not only can satisfy the requirement of automatically adjusting the height of the refuse collector when the ground is uneven, but also can satisfy the requirement of manually adjusting the height of the main brush when the main brush wears. The disc-type sweeping edge brush 180 is mounted at a position projecting from the vehicle body 270 by about 10-20 cm. When sweeping, the disc-type sweeping edge brushes 180 collect refuses at two sides of the mopping vehicle into the sweeping area of the round-roller-type main sweeping brush 150, and the round-roller-type main sweeping brush 150 sweeps the refuses collected into the sweeping area thereof, into the refuse collector 140.


The first mopping mechanism comprises a dragging roller 51, a guiding mopping roller 110, a guiding roller 91, a ring-shaped mop 100 and a washing water tank 60, wherein the washing water tank 60 is disposed behind the driver zone of the vehicle body 270, mop arms 310 are hinged onto the vehicle body 270, two ends of the guiding mopping roller 110 and two ends of the guiding roller 91 are fixedly connected with the mop arms 310 respectively, each mop arm 310 is connected with the vehicle body 270 through a lifting or upwardly-rotating mechanism 320, the ring-shaped mop 100 is driven by the dragging roller 51 and the guiding mopping roller 110 to rotate, and the guiding roller 91 is pressed above the ring-shaped mop 100.


Moreover, the first mopping mechanism further comprises a washing roller 70. The washing roller 70 is formed by welding four corner bars of a height of several centimeters to the outside of a stainless steel tube. The washing roller 70 is located in the washing water tank 60 and is configured to wash the ring-shaped mop 100.


Of course, for the washing roller 70, a metal tube or a metal rod can be used, the number of the corner bars can be four or greater, or four or more corner bars form a metal tube.


The ring-shaped mop 100 is made of long stapled chenille or coral flannelette, or other grey fabrics, two sides of the ring-shaped mop 100 are each provided with a grey fabric edge, and a circular cowhells plastic strip is wrapped in the grey fabric edge.


The cowhells plastic strip is a circular plastic strip that is commercially available and has relatively high toughness.


Generally, a flexible layer will be additionally provided at the outer layer of the dragging roller 51, and the guiding mopping roller 110 will be additionally provided with a thicker flexible layer; and in practice, a hairbrush with the thickness of about 5 cm can be used.


A plurality of sets of fixed-width wheels 330 are fixed at both the inner side and the outer side of the washing water tank 60, and the fixed-width wheels 330 get the circular cowhells plastic strip stuck. The fixed-width wheels 330 may be made of engineering plastics, or may also be replaced by stainless steel bearings.


The guiding mopping roller 110 has a silica gel layer or a relatively-hard round roller hair brush as the outer layer thereof, and the guiding mopping roller 110 has a metal tube or a metal rod as the inner layer thereof.


Moreover, a rubber-coated metal tube or a rubber-coated metal rod may be used as the dragging roller 51.


For the guiding roller 91, a metal tube or a metal rod can be used, and the two ends thereof can be fixed on the mop arms 310 using a metal rod shaft.


It is necessary for cleaning the ground that the ring-shaped mop 100 is in pressurized contact with the ground, wherein if the pressure is too large, the ring-shaped mop 100 will wear too fast, and if the pressure is small, the cleaning effect will be poor. In addition, most of the ground is not even enough, so the guiding mopping roller 110 which presses the ring-shaped mop 100 onto the ground should be made of a suitable flexible material.


In the non-mopping time, a mechanism is needed to pull up the ring-shaped mop 100 which comes into contact with the ground at work, such that the ring-shaped mop is separated from the ground. The lifting or upwardly-rotating mechanism 320 can be an electric push rod, an air cylinder, an oil cylinder or a screw rod driven by a motor. It is feasible to lift or upwardly rotate the mop arm 310 with the screw rod driven by an electric push rod, an air cylinder, an oil cylinder or a motor, or fasten a rope to two ends of the mop arm 310, and guide the rope by a fixed pulley or directly connect the rope with a wheel axle which is driven by the motor to lift up or put down the mop arm 310, or connect the rope with a lever and pull the lever with a hand or push the lever with a foot to enable the mop arm 310 to ascend or descend.


In the above, a solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 and a metal profile are disposed at the top of the vehicle body 270, the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 is fixedly connected with the metal profile, one side edge of a lower surface of the metal profile is hinged to the top of the vehicle (vehicle roof), and another side edge of the lower surface of the metal profile is connected with the roof through the second electric push rod. By lifting and lowering the second electric push rod, the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 can form an inclined surface with respect to the top of the vehicle.


This kind of large to medium-size sweeping and mopping vehicle mostly works in the early morning or at night, and is powered by a storage battery. If the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 is installed on the top of the vehicle to generate electricity by making use of the daytime sunlight and store the electricity in the storage battery, a lot of energy will be saved, and especially when the angle of the battery panel is adjusted using steering or adjustment, more cheap electric energy can be obtained with lower cost, and contributions can also be made to environmental protection by saving electric energy. Moreover, the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 can be fixed on the top of the vehicle in a manner of fixed plane.


If the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 is installed on the top of the vehicle, two groups or more of triangular supports can be arranged on the top of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction, the middle longitudinal beam of the metal support fixing the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 is connected with the triangular supports through pin shafts, and a side longitudinal beam of the metal support fixing the power generation plate is connected with the vehicle body 270 through the second electric push rod, and is driven by the second electric push rod to rotate about the middle longitudinal beam of the triangular support by a certain angle. The top of the vehicle can also be embodied as a plane support, and the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 is fixed onto the top of the vehicle in the manner of fixed plane. In the present embodiment, the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 is formed by combining three standard assemblies of 1.46×1 m.


In the present embodiment, the vehicle body 270, the washing water tank 60 and all the other homemade structural components are all formed by welding stainless steel profiles. Although the materials are high in price, no surface treatment is needed, which reduces the impact of the manufacturing process on the environment, and also can avoid the rusting risk in the future.


Other components of the vehicle body 270 such as the wheels, the vehicle axle, the steering wheel, the forward/reverse gear, the battery, the electric appliance box and various electric appliance elements, the walking motor, the seat, the vehicle lamps and the rearview mirrors are all standard components for electric cars.


The large to medium-size sweeping and mopping vehicle in the present embodiment is a medium-sized mopping vehicle for outdoor ground cleaning for factories, schools and large institutions, and can be used as a vehicle for cleaning streets, roads and even highways when the washing water tank 60 and the clean water tank 10 are appropriately enlarged and a refuse storage area is arranged beside the driver zone.


The working principles of the large to medium-size sweeping and mopping vehicle of the present embodiment are as follows:


The disc-type sweeping edge brushes 180 are installed on two sides in front of the front wheels respectively, which serves to sweep the roadside refuses and dust to the area that the round-roller-type main sweeping brush 150 and the ring-shaped mop 100 can reach, the round-roller-type main sweeping brush 150 feeds the refuses with relatively large sizes into the refuse collector 140, and the ring-shaped mop 100 brings, by means of adhesion, the residual dust into the washing water tank 60.


By angle adjustment through the second electric push rod, in the non-working time where sun exposure exits, the solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 installed on the top of the vehicle is capable of adjusting the vehicle to a better angle and orientation, such that the storage battery can obtain more electric energy.

The present embodiment has the same structure as those in Embodiment 1, except that no solar-photovoltaic-cell power generation plate 340 is arranged at the top of the vehicle body 270, and therefore will not be further described herein.


The large to medium-size sweeping and mopping vehicle in Embodiment 2, mainly used in places with relatively high cleaning requirements has a set of mopping mechanism is provided at each of the front and the rear thereof. During use, the set of mopping mechanism in front of the vehicle body implement first mopping to clean away some floating dust on the surface and also wet the adhered dirt, the edge brushes and the main brush sweep into the refuse collector 140 the refuses at the roadsides and the corners and the refuses that cannot be adhered to the mop, and then second mopping is performed the set of mopping mechanism behind the vehicle body, greatly improving the cleaning degree.

The axis of the driving wheel is vertical, and the two free ends of the swing member 280 are fixedly connected with the two side walls of the washing water tank 60, respectively.


When it is required that the washing water tank 60 drives the mopping mechanism to performing wagging operation, the swing motor 220 operates to output the rotation power to the driving wheel. Taking the orientation shown in FIG. 4 as an example, when the driving wheel rotates clockwise, the swing member 280 at the upper portion will be stretched, and the swing member 280 at the lower portion will be shortened, and in such case, the washing water tank 60 will swing clockwise; and when the driving wheel rotates anticlockwise, the swing member 280 at the upper portion will be shortened, the swing member 280 at the lower portion will be stretched, and the washing water tank 60 will swing anticlockwise.


In the present embodiment, the swing member 280 can also be embodied as a synchronous belt, and in such a case, a belt wheel whose teeth are matched with the teeth of the synchronous belt is used as the driving wheel, and the reliability of transmission is ensured through the meshing between the belt wheel and the synchronous belt.


It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the manner that the driving wheel provides power transmission to the washing water tank 60 can be realized by the structural form of a synchronous belt as described above, but not limited thereto, instead, other structural forms can be used, for example, a chain and correspondingly, a chain wheel used as the driving wheel, wherein the transmission reliability is ensured through the meshing transmission between the chain wheel and the chain.


Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the swing member 280 can also be embodied as a pulling rope. Specifically, friction force, enabling the pulling rope to synchronously move along with the driving wheel, exists between the pulling rope and the driving wheel, or the pulling rope is fixedly installed on the driving wheel. When the driving wheel rotates, the pulling rope is driven to move, pulling the washing water tank 60 to perform wagging operation.


Of course, the power transmission provided by the driving wheel to the washing water tank 60 can also be realized through a meshing structure of a gear and a gear ring. Specifically, the driving wheel is a pinion, and a big gear ring is arranged at the outer edge of the washing water tank 60.

Specifically, the reinforcing rib can be made of metal.


The above is merely detailed description of one specific arrangement of the rotating assembly, which is not intended to limit the specific arrangement of the rotating assembly in the present embodiment. It is sufficient that the rotating assembly can achieve rotational support for the swinging of the washing water tank 60.


In addition, by arranging the rotating assembly, the rotating of the washing water tank 60 is supported at a certain degree, so that the load of the washing water tank 60 can be shared by the rotating assembly, moreover, the contact between the ring-shaped rail 230 and the idler wheels 240 has certain guiding effect on the washing water tank 60, so that the washing water tank 60 can rotate along the path of the ring-shaped rail 230. Furthermore, the arrangement manner of the idler wheels 240 also greatly reduces the friction force in the rotating process of the washing water tank 60, ensuring the reliability of the wagging of the washing water tank 60.


In the present embodiment, the idler wheels 240 can also be annularly and uniformly distributed around the rotation shaft through which the washing water tank 60 is pivotally connected with the vehicle frame.

In the above, the filter screen can be lifted upwards relative to the washing water tank 60, and at the moment, the bottom of the filter screen is separated from the bottom wall of the washing water tank 60.


When the filter screen needs to be cleaned after having been used for a period of time, it is feasible to open the filtering nozzle 300 to flush the surface of the filter screen from the top to bottom. The oblique arrangement of the filter screen ensures, to a certain extent, that each part of the filter screen is able to be effectively flushed, thereby ensuring the flushing effect. Moreover, by lifting upwards the filter screen, the different areas separated by the filter screens of the washing water tank 60 communicates with each other at the bottom thereof and therefore all the solid dirt in the washing water tank 60 can be discharged, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the washing water tank 60.


In order to improve the cleaning efficiency, in the present embodiment, the bottom wall of the washing water tank 60 can also be arranged to be oblique. Such arrangement enables that when the individual filter screens are lifted up, the solid dirt can slide out of the bottom wall under the action of its own gravity.


It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the upper portions of the multiple layers of filter screens can be inclined towards the ring-shaped mop 100 by the same inclination angle. Moreover, peripheries of the multiple layers of filter screens can be fixed using a metal frame, two side walls of each filter screen are inserted into sealing slots inlayed with rubber or soft plastic strips, the lower ends of all the sealing slots are further connected with rubber blocks or soft plastic plates, sliding slots are arranged inside the side wall of the washing water tank 60, and fixing of the filter screen is realized by inserting the multiple layers of filter screens into the sliding slots.


It should also be noted that in the present embodiment, the multiple layers of filter screens can be either manually lifted upwards, or automatically lifted upwards by providing a power device.


In this embodiment, the division of the washing water tank 60 into the washing area and the filtering area can be achieved by the above described structural form of multiple layers of filter screens, but not limited thereto, and other structural forms can also be used. For example, a partition plate is arranged inside the washing water tank 60 to separate the washing area from the filtering area, and a filter is arranged on the partition plate, the dirty water in the washing area enters the filtering area after being filtered by the filter. In the present embodiment, the filter can be composed of a self-cleaning filter and a fine net which is arranged on the self-cleaning filter and can meet the filtering requirement.


By dividing the washing water tank 60 into a washing area and a filtering area and disposing a filtering structure therebetween to flush the ring-shaped mop 100 by using the water in the washing area and meet the ground cleaning requirements of the mopping vehicle by using the water in the filtering area, functional diversity of the washing water tank 60 is realized, and the purpose of recycling water is achieved to a certain extent, so that efficient allocation and reasonable utilization of the resources are achieved.


In one mode, a filter is suspended in the washing water tank 60, the lower portion of the filter is the filter screen, and a dirty water pump pumps the dirty water from the lower portion of the washing water tank 60 to the filter. The filter can be rectangular, or multi-stage filtration can be formed in the length direction, the filtered water can first enter the filtering area for being used by a flushing nozzle 210, and the surplus water can be discharged into the washing area.


Referring to FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the mopping vehicle can further comprise at least one flushing nozzle 210 configured to flush the ground. Specifically, the flushing nozzle 210 is installed on the vehicle body 270, and the included angle between the spraying direction of the flushing nozzle 210 and the ground ranges from 20° to 70°. After being sprayed from the flushing nozzle 210, the water can splash onto the ring-shaped mop 100 under the reflection effect of the ground. Both the clean water tank 10 and the washing water tank 60 can supply water for the flushing nozzle 210.


Under the action of the water pump 190, clean water in the clean water tank 10 or in the filtering area of the washing water tank 60 is pumped to the flushing nozzle 210, so that the flushing nozzle 210 sprays water onto the recesses on the ground, and under the action of reflection angles, the dirty water after flushing is reflected onto the ring-shaped mop 100, and at the moment, this ring-shaped mop 100 has finished the mopping work, and is about to move upwards to be flushed in the washing area, and in the upward moving process of the ring-shaped mop 100, the dirty water is brought into the washing area, together with the ring-shaped mop, for being filtered.


By such arrangement, the dust in the recesses of the ground is brought into the washing area during the operation process of the mopping vehicle, which achieves the cleaning away of the dust in the recesses of the ground, and the dust in the recesses of the ground and the dust on the ring-shaped mop 100 are collected into the washing area for being processed together, which achieves efficient and reasonable utilization of the resources. In addition, such arrangement prevents, to a certain extent, dust from entering a sewer.


It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the flushing nozzle 210 can be a fan-shaped nozzle, namely, the water flow sprayed out from the flushing nozzle 210 is in a fan shape. Such arrangement greatly improves the spraying area of the flushing nozzle 210, not only ensuring the cleaning effect, but also saving water. Moreover, in the present embodiment, a row of flushing nozzles 210 can be arranged in the width direction of the ring-shaped mop 100.


In the present embodiment, a water intake is arranged in the filtering area of the washing water tank 60, and a fine net is arranged at the water intake. Specifically, the water intake is in communication with the flushing nozzle 210 through a pipeline, the pipeline between the water intake and the flushing nozzle 210 is provided with a water pump 190, a first control valve configured to control connection/disconnection of the pipeline is arranged between the water pump 190 and the water intake, a branch pipeline is arranged on a pipeline between the first control valve and the water pump 190, the branch pipeline is in communication with the clean water tank 10, and the branch pipeline is further provided with a second control valve configured to control connection/disconnection of the branch pipeline. That is, the water pump 190 is arranged on a main pipeline, while the first control valve is provided between the water pump 190 and the filtering area, and the second control valve is arranged on the branch pipeline between the water pump 190 and the clean water tank 10.


During the cleaning operation of the mopping vehicle, connection/disconnection of each pipeline can be realized by control over the first control valve and the second control valve, so that the requirement of water supply to the flushing nozzle 210 by the filtering area or the clean water tank 10 can be met. Specifically, when the first control valve is opened and the second control valve is closed, water is supplied to the flushing nozzle 210 by the filtering area; and when the first control valve is closed and the second control valve is opened, water is supplied to the flushing nozzle 210 by the clean water tank 10.


Preferably, during the cleaning operation of the mopping vehicle, it is feasible to open the first control valve and close the second control valve, and at the moment, the filtering area supplies clean water to the flushing nozzle 210. Such arrangement enables that water in the filtering area is used up first, and according to “cannikin law”, at the moment, the dirty water in the washing area is continuously supplemented into the filtering area under the action of the filtering structure, so that the dirty water brought into the washing area as the ring-shaped mop 100 moves upwards is prevented from causing overflowing of water in the washing water tank 60 due to overfilling, which achieves relative balance between the washing area and the filtering area and further improves the working reliability of the mopping vehicle.


Of course, other branch pipelines can further be arranged on the main pipeline provided with the water pump 190, so as to provide a water source for all the pipelines in the mopping vehicle that require pressurized water.


It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the first control valve and the second control valve can be electromagnetic control valves and are in control connection with the control module 260. By operating the control module 260, the operator can realize the control over the working states of the first control valve and the second control valve, thereby realizing water source supplying by the washing water tank 60 or by the clean water tank 10.

Such arrangement not only makes it easy for the driver to get on and off, but also provides great convenience for the single-hand operation of the driver.


In addition, in the present embodiment, the control module 260 can be powered by a battery, and other devices of the mopping vehicle that need electricity can also be powered by a battery. Moreover, a solar cell panel can further be arranged on the vehicle body 270, such that the solar cell panel absorbs heat and then generates electricity for the battery, which greatly saves energy and meets the requirement for building an environment-friendly society. In the above, the solar cell panel can be disposed above the seat 20, such that it not only can absorb the heat, but also can serve the function of blocking light rays for the driver. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the angle of the solar panel can be adjusted so as to absorb the solar energy to the maximum extent.


The working process of the mopping vehicle in the present embodiment is described as follows:


During the cleaning operation, the driver controls the traveling and turning of the vehicle through the steering wheel 200, the disc-type sweeping edge brushes 180 is used to sweep the ground, and in the traveling process of the mopping vehicle, the main brush motor 160 works to drive the round-roller-type main sweeping brush 150 to collect the solid refuses and dust on the ground into the refuse collector 140. Moreover, under the action of the dragging motor 40, the ring-shaped mop 100 mops the ground under the guiding of the washing guiding roller 80, the dragging roller assembly 50 and the guiding roller assembly 90 and under the pressure of the guiding mopping roller 110, and moves upwards, after mopping has been completed, into the washing area to be washed. In the process of washing the ring-shaped mop 100, the washing motor 30 works to drive the washing roller 70 to wash the ring-shaped mop 100. Moreover, the flushing nozzle 210 flushes the recesses on the ground under the action of the high-pressure water flow from the water pump 190, and water is reflected by the ground and then is splashed onto the ring-shaped mop 100 (the ring-shaped mop 100 at the right side of the guiding mopping roller 110 in FIG. 3) which has just completed the mopping operation, so that the dirty water enters the washing area as the ring-shaped mop 100 ascends.


When it is necessary to clean narrow areas such as corners and roadsides and so on, it is feasible to control the mopping vehicle to walk to the vicinity of such areas, and control, using the swing motor 220, the washing water tank 60 to perform wagging operation so as to make it clean the operation areas. During the non-mopping time, the mopping mechanism can be lifted by using a third electric push rod 120.
