The present disclosure relates to the field of cleaning device, and more particularly relates to a vacuum head, a collection bin, a cleaning tray, a filter assembly, and a cleaning apparatus.
In recent years, cleaning device with sweeping and dust-collecting functions has been gradually widely used in people's lives. For this device, a cleaning cylinder is driven by the running of a motor to come in close contact with the ground, so that wastes, dust, and other kinds of dirt on ground are cleaned, and then, are sucked into a dust collection bin under negative pressure from the motor, an air pump or other apparatuses to achieve cleaning to the ground.
A cleaning cylinder in cleaning device may get dirty due to contact with the ground for sucking dirt in long-term use. In order to clean the cleaning cylinder, the prior art generally provides two methods, i.e. a method for detachably cleaning a cleaning cylinder and a method for automatically cleaning a cleaning cylinder in cleaning device. The method for detachably cleaning a cleaning cylinder is to detach and then clean the cleaning cylinder, but the detachment operation process of this method is relatively complicated, and the service life of the cleaning device will be reduced by repeated detachment. For the method for automatically cleaning the cleaning cylinder in cleaning device, clear water is sprayed to the cleaning cylinder via a water spraying apparatus in the cleaning device so as to clean the cleaning cylinder. However, the water spraying apparatus fails to spray clear water to the cleaning cylinder evenly in such method, resulting in excessive or insufficient local cleaning in the cleaning cylinder arising from the unevenness of the overall cleaning of the cleaning cylinder. Therefore, a surface to be cleaned is difficult to clean during the operation (ground cleaning) of the cleaning cylinder that has not been cleaned up yet, and the cleaning cylinder that has not been cleaned up yet may easily cause secondary pollution to the surface to be cleaned.
Accordingly, how to uniformly and thoroughly clean a cleaning cylinder and improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning cylinder are problems to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. In face of the technical problems of how to uniformly and thoroughly clean a cleaning cylinder and improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning cylinder, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning apparatus and a ground cleaner to uniformly and thoroughly clean a cleaning cylinder and improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning cylinder.

An existing cleaner at work may suck water and solid matter into a collection bin at the same time, which is convenient and quick, reduces the labor intensity, and is accepted by the market. However, sucking water and solid matter into the collection bin at the same time causes the mixing of solid and liquid waste in the collection bin. When treating such mixed solid-liquid waste, people often pour sewage containing solid matter directly into a sewer or a toilet, but the solid matter in the collection bin easily causes the blockage of the sewer or the toilet, which brings inconvenience to people.

With the development of science and technology, in order to facilitate people's lives, a variety of movable cleaning device, such as cleaners and dust collectors, has been widely used in people's lives. In most cleaners or dust collectors currently used, a collection bin is usually separated from a main machine body, so as to facilitate cleaning of waste in the collection bin. In order to guarantee the tightness between the collection bin and the main machine body, a sealing ring is usually mounted on the collection bin to seal a connecting part of the collection bin and the main machine body, so that a suction force of the main machine body may be transferred into the collection bin entirely to allow the collection bin to collect waste in a pipeline.
However, in the existing cleaners or dust collectors, after the collection bin is connected with the main machine body, sometimes air leakage will occur to affect the tightness between the collection bin and the main machine body. Thus, the suction force of the main machine body cannot be transferred into the collection bin entirety, thereby affecting waste collection of the collection bin from the pipeline.
In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a collection bin, a filter assembly, and a cleaning apparatus to solve the above problems. A first curled edge and a second curled edge of a sealing ring extend in a direction opposite to an assembly direction, and are not curled reversely during assembly, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling of the curled edges of the sealing ring, and preventing a sealing effect of the collection bin from being affected.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a collection bin, which includes: a bin body having an air outlet, and a sealing ring surrounding a periphery of the air outlet.

Optionally, the filter assembly includes a bracket and a filter, where the filter is connected with the bracket and located in the receiving cavity; part of the bracket is located in the receiving cavity and connected with the bin body, and part of the bracket extends out of the receiving cavity and is connected with the sealing ring.
Optionally, a first clamping part is arranged on the part, extending out of the air outlet, of the filter assembly; a second clamping part matched with the first clamping part in use is arranged on the sealing ring, and the first clamping part is detachably connected with the second clamping part.

Accordingly, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a filter assembly, which includes: a filter including an air inlet surface and an air outlet surface, a bracket provided with the filter thereon, and a sealing ring connected with the bracket and surrounding a periphery of the air outlet surface. A second curled edge and a first curled edge are respectively formed at the front and the rear of the sealing ring along an assembly direction of the filter, and extending directions of the first curled edge and the second curled edge are opposite to the assembly direction.
Accordingly, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a cleaning apparatus, which includes: a main machine provided with a mounting cavity with an air inlet, and a collection bin including: a bin body and a sealing ring. The bin body has an air outlet; the sealing ring surrounds a periphery of the air outlet; a second curled edge and a first curled edge are respectively formed at the front and the rear of the sealing ring along an assembly direction of the bin body, and extending directions of the first curled edge and the second curled edge are opposite to the assembly direction; and the bin body enters the mounting cavity along the assembly direction and is connected with the main machine, the air outlet is communicated with the air inlet, and the sealing ring seals a gap between the air outlet and the air inlet.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first curled edge and the second curled edge of the sealing ring extend in a direction opposite to the assembly direction, and therefore, when the collection bin is assembled along the assembly direction, even if the first curled edge and the second curled edge rub against a foreign object, they will not be curled reversely, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling of the curled edges of the sealing ring, and preventing a sealing effect of the collection bin from being affected. With the development of science and technology, in order to facilitate people's lives, a variety of movable cleaning device, such as cleaners and dust collectors, has been widely used in people's life. During cleaning of the ground, a cleaner often faces a situation that there is water on the ground. For example, water in a water cup is accidentally poured onto the ground, water is splashed onto the ground during washing clothes, and water stains with oil are more likely to encounter on the ground of a kitchen. In case of the above situations, in order to clean the water on the ground better, a soft rubber scraper is usually arranged at the bottom of the cleaner, by which the water on the ground is cleaned more quickly to achieve higher cleanliness of the floor. However, after the existing cleaner cleans the ground with water, and the whole cleaner is shut down, a pool of water usually remains on the ground near the soft rubber scraper, which causes secondary contamination to the ground and reduces the cleaning efficiency of the cleaner.
In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a vacuum head, a cleaning apparatus, and a self-moving cleaning robot to solve the above problems.

With the development of science and technology, in order to facilitate people's lives, a variety of movable cleaning device, such as cleaners and dust collectors, are widely used in people's lives. An existing cleaner usually works in two modes. For example, if there is no water on a surface to be cleaned, the cleaner works in a wet mode, that is, the cleaner sprays water to the ground or a rolling brush, cleans the ground through the rolling brush, and sucks sewage into the cleaner. For another example, if there is liquid, such as water, on the surface to be cleaned, the cleaner can work in a dry mode, that is, the cleaner cleans the ground through the rolling brush and then sucks sewage into the cleaner. During cleaning, the cleaner mainly cleans a surface to be cleaned, such as the ground, through the rolling brush on the cleaner. After the cleaning is finished, the rolling brush usually becomes dirty, so it is necessary to clean the rolling brush for the next cleaning.
In the above cleaning scenarios, or after the rolling brush is cleaned, liquid will remain on the rolling brush, and in order to prevent the liquid from flowing onto a surface to be cleaned such as the ground, the cleaner is usually equipped with a tray. The rolling brush is placed in the tray, so the liquid on the rolling brush may flow into the tray. However, when an existing tray and a cleaner are matched in use, sewage on the rolling brush flows into the tray and scatters on a surface of the tray irregularly, so users need to clean the tray later, which increases the workload of the users.
In view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a cleaning tray and a cleaner assembly to solve the above problems. The cleaning tray allows sewage to flow only in a water collection groove through a water blocking rib, which prevents the sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cleaning tray, which includes: a tray body having an accommodating groove with a bearing platform and a water collection groove, and a water blocking rib arranged at the bottom of the accommodating groove and separating the bearing platform from the water collection groove.
Optionally, the position of the water collection groove is adapted to the position of a rolling brush of a cleaner. When the cleaner is placed on the bearing platform, the rolling brush of the cleaner is suspended in the water collection groove, and the water collection groove and a housing of the cleaner form a rinsing channel through which water flows along an outer side surface of the rolling brush.
Optionally, the water blocking rib is arranged below or behind a suction port of the cleaner.
Optionally, the height of the water collection groove is less than that of the bearing platform; and the height of the bearing platform gradually decreases along a direction from the bearing platform to the water collection groove.
Optionally, a gap is formed between at least one of two ends of the water blocking rib and a wall of the accommodating groove, and the gap penetrates through the bearing platform and the water collection groove.
Optionally, a side, facing the bearing platform, of the water blocking rib has a flow guiding surface for guiding liquid from the water blocking rib to the gap.
Optionally, the bearing platform is provided with limiting grooves for accommodating rollers of the cleaner.
Optionally, the water collection groove includes at least a first water collection plate and a second water collection plate;

Accordingly, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a cleaner assembly, which includes a cleaner and a cleaning tray. The cleaner includes a housing and a rolling brush mounted on the housing; the cleaning tray includes: a tray body having an accommodating groove with a bearing platform and a water collection tank, and a water blocking rib arranged at the bottom of the accommodating groove and separating the bearing platform from the water collection groove.
Optionally, the position of the water collection tank is adapted to the position of the rolling brush. When the cleaner is placed on the bearing platform, the rolling brush is suspended in the water collection groove, and the water collection groove and the housing form a rinsing channel through which water flows along an outer side surface of the rolling brush.
Optionally, a water spraying assembly and a suction assembly are further arranged in the housing. A suction port of the suction assembly is arranged at the bottom of the housing, and when the rolling brush is suspended in the water collection groove, the suction port is located in the water collection groove.
In addition, optionally, a scraper is further arranged at the bottom of the housing; the suction port is located between the scraper and the rolling brush, and when the rolling brush is suspended in the water collection groove, the scraper is suspended in the water collection groove.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cleaning tray and the cleaner can be matched in use, the bearing platform is configured to bear the cleaner, and the water collection groove is configured to collect sewage on the cleaner. Meanwhile, the water blocking rib can effectively prevent water in the water collection groove from flowing into the bearing platform, and allow the sewage to flow only in the water collection groove, thereby preventing the sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, with the cleaning tray and a suction function of the cleaner, an aim of no water residue in the cleaning tray can be achieved.

Lengths of flow channels between the cleaning medium inlet 31 and the plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are equal. Of course, a plurality of cleaning medium inlets 31 may be provided as long as the amounts of the cleaning medium reaching the plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are equal, which shall fall within the scope of protection of the embodiment of the present disclosure. The plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are provided to increase a coverage area of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 on the rolling brush surface, so that a contact area of the sprayed cleaning medium and the rolling brush surface is increased and uniform to further improve a cleaning effect on the rolling brush 2.
It should be noted that the cleaning medium of the present embodiment may be a liquid, a gas, or a gas-liquid mixture. In the present embodiment, the rolling brush surface can be cleaned by a liquid sprayed out of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, or in the present embodiment, the rolling brush surface can be cleaned by a gas sprayed out of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, or in the present embodiment, the rolling brush surface may be cleaned by a gas-liquid mixture sprayed out of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32.
In a preferable solution of the present embodiment, the plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32 face the rolling brush surface, and at least part of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are arranged along an axial direction of the rolling brush 2 at equal intervals. It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the plurality of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are provided and rotate about the axial direction relative to the rolling brush 2, and at least part of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are arranged along the axial direction of the rolling brush 2, so that this part of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 cover a straight line along the axial direction of the rolling brush surface, and this part of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 arranged along the axial direction can cover the entire rolling brush surface with the rotation of the rolling brush 2. The intervals between the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are set to be equal to make various cleaning medium spray orifices 32 in the straight line along the axial direction uniformly and continuously cover the rolling brush surface, so as to uniformly spray the cleaning medium onto the entire rolling brush surface.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the cleaning medium can be sprayed onto the entire rolling brush surface mainly by right of the principle of flow channel balance.
In the present embodiment, as shown in
That is, the longer the flow channel extends, the more the layers. Meanwhile, the flow channels of various layers are divided into a plurality of branches, and lengths of the flow channel branches of the same layer are equal, so that the lengths of the flow channels between the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of various layers and the cleaning medium inlet 31 are equal. Furthermore, specifications of the flow channels are the same, so that the cleaning medium sprayed out of the plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32 is more uniform. It should be noted that based on the multi-layer structure of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of various layers are overlaid, that is, all the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of one layer as a whole are overlaid with all the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of another layer as a whole.
In the present embodiment, the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 overlaid by taking the layer as a whole are of the following two structures, that is, the cleaning assembly 3 is of two structures; as shown in
It should be noted that the flow channel branches of the four layers are located in the same plane, and the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of the four layers are overlaid in the same plane. For example, in a radial direction of the rolling brush 2, only the fourth-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 324 may be observed by taking the fourth-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 324 as a starting point of observation (from bottom to top in
It should also be noted that lengths of the flow channel branches of the four layers may be set to be equal, that is, the lengths of the flow channel branches of the four layers from the first-layer flow channel branches 33 to the fourth-layer flow channel branches 36 are equal; or the lengths of the flow channel branches of various layers are set to be unequal, that is, the lengths of the first-layer flow channel branches 33, the second-layer flow channel branches 34, the third-layer flow channel branches 35, and the fourth-layer flow channel branches 36 are unequal, as long as the lengths of the flow channel branches of the same layer are equal. For example, 8 third-layer flow channel branches 35 are provided, ant lengths of the 8 third-layer flow channel branches 35 are equal.
With continuous reference to
It should be noted that the flow channel branches of the four layers are located in different planes, and the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of the four layers are overlaid in different planar spaces. Specifically, the first-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 321 are located in a first plane (not shown in
the second-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 322 are located in a second plane (not shown in
Further, as shown in
It can be seen from the above that the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of the four layers are overlaid along the radial direction of the rolling brush 2 or along a direction perpendicular to the radial direction of the rolling brush 2, so that the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are overlaid in the spatial dimension. Different from the first structure of the cleaning assembly 3, the second structure of the cleaning assembly 3 allows flow channel branches of multiple layers to be separated and overlaid in a space, so that a space occupied by the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 is reduced, and the volume of the cleaning assembly 3 is reduced.
It should also be noted that the lengths of the flow channel branches of the four layers may be set to be equal, that is, the lengths of the first-layer flow channel branches 33 to the fourth-layer flow channel branches 36 are equal; or the lengths of the flow channel branches of various layers may be set to be unequal, that is, the lengths of the first-layer flow channel branches 33, the second-layer flow channel branches 34, the third-layer flow channel branches 35, and the fourth-layer flow channel branches 36 are unequal, as long as the lengths of multiple flow channel branches of the same layer are equal.
It can be understood that as the length of the flow channel is increased, the water pressure at the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 close to the rolling brush surface will decrease. In order to increase the water pressure, with reference to
Further, in order to improve the cleaning effect, the cleaning apparatus 100 is further provided with a liquid extruder 4, where the liquid extruder 4 is arranged on the housing 1 and located above the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, and contacts the rolling brush surface along the axial direction of the rolling brush 2. In the present embodiment, after the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 spray a liquid onto the rolling brush surface, the liquid extruder 4 can extrude the liquid on the rolling brush surface, so that the liquid is uniformly dispersed onto the rolling brush surface again, that is, the liquid sprayed onto the rolling brush surface by the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 is changed from point uniformness to linear uniformness by the liquid extruder 4. Furthermore, the liquid extruder 4 is in interference with the rolling brush surface, so that dirt in a deep layer of the rolling brush 2 can be cleaned. The liquid extruder 4 is a liquid scraping rib made of a flexible material or a hard material.
In the present embodiment, in order to make the liquid extruded from the rolling brush surface by the liquid extruder 4 uniformly clean the rolling brush surface again, a groove 5 is further provided. The groove 5 is arranged between the liquid extruder 4 and the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, and extends along the axial direction of the rolling brush 2, an opening of the groove 51 faces the rolling brush surface, and a contact surface of the groove 51 contacts the rolling brush surface. Specifically, the groove 51 has two structures, as shown in
Further, in conjunction with the foregoing description, it can be seen that as the rolling brush 2 rotates, part of dirt on the rolling brush surface is sucked into the air suction pipeline 7, and collected into the solid collection bin and the liquid collection bin connected with the air suction pipeline 7 by the air suction pipeline 7, and the dirt that is not sucked will rotate to a position where the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are located. In order to reduce the difficulty in cleaning the rolling brush surface by the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, in the present embodiment, the cleaning apparatus 100 is further provided with a dirt remover 6, where the dirt remover 6 is arranged on the housing 1 and located below the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, and contacts the rolling brush surface along the axial direction of the rolling brush 2. The air suction port of the air suction pipeline 7 is located below the dirt remover 6. The dirt remover 6 is in interference with the rolling brush surface and capable of scraping the dirt that is not sucked into the air suction pipe from the rolling brush surface, so that a relatively clean rolling brush surface enters a cleaning position of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32. The dirt remover 6 is a dirt removing rib made of a flexible material or a hard material.
Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure provides a cleaning apparatus 100, which includes: a housing 1, a rolling brush 2, and a cleaning assembly 3, where the cleaning assembly 3 includes a cleaning medium inlet 31 and a plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32; the plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32 face the rolling brush 2, and at least part of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are arranged along an axial direction of the rolling brush 2 at equal intervals; and lengths of flow channels from various cleaning medium spray orifices 32 that are arranged along the axial direction of the rolling brush 2 to the cleaning medium inlet 31 are equal. According the embodiment of the present disclosure, a cleaning medium can be uniformly sprayed to a rolling brush surface, so that the rolling brush can be cleaned completely, and the cleaning efficiency and the cleanliness of the rolling brush are improved.

The ground cleaner 200 adopts the cleaning apparatus 100 of Embodiment 1 described above, so components of the ground cleaner 200 of Embodiment 2 can refer to reference signs of the components of Embodiment 1 described above.
As shown in
In the present embodiment, the cleaning apparatus 100 includes a cleaning assembly 3, where the cleaning assembly 3 includes a cleaning medium inlet 31 and a plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32, lengths of flow channels between the cleaning medium inlet 31 and various cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are equal; the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 include at least first-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 321 and second-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 322 in sequence along an extending direction of the flow channel; the first-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 321 are connected with the cleaning medium inlet 31, the second-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 322 are overlaid with the first-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 321 through flow channel branches, and lengths of the flow channel branches therebetween are equal, and the number of the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 of the corresponding layer increases with increase of the layer. For example, for the first-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 321 connected with the cleaning medium inlet 31, N is 1, so the number of the first-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 321 is 2. For another example, for the second-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 322 connected with the first-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 321, N is 2, so the number of the second-layer cleaning medium spray orifices 322 is 4. Of course, it may have more layers for the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, and also have more corresponding cleaning medium spray orifices 32, which shall fall within the scope of protection of the present embodiment. The cleaning medium spray orifices 32 overlaid by taking the layer as a whole are of the following two structures, that is, the cleaning assembly 3 is of two structures, and specific implementations can refer to Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure and will not be described again herein.
Embodiment 2 provides a ground cleaner 200, which includes: a handle main body 210 and a cleaning apparatus 100 connected with the handle main body 210. The cleaning assembly 10 includes: a housing 1 and a rolling brush 2, and further includes: a cleaning assembly 3, where the cleaning assembly 3 includes a cleaning medium inlet 31 and a plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32; the plurality of cleaning medium spray orifices 32 face the rolling brush 2, and lengths of flow channels from various cleaning medium spray orifices 32 to the cleaning medium inlet 31 are equal. According the embodiment of the present disclosure, a cleaning medium can be uniformly sprayed to a rolling brush surface, so that the rolling brush can be cleaned completely, and the cleaning efficiency and the cleanliness of the rolling brush are improved.
The ground cleaner 200 described above can obtain a better use effect in different scenarios compared with existing cleaners; and some specific use scenarios will be described below.
The ground cleaner 200 provided in Embodiment 2 described above is used, when the ground cleaner 200 cleans dirt on the ground, or after the ground cleaner 200 cleans the dirt on the ground, the ground cleaner 200 needs to clean the rolling brush 2. A motor can drive the rolling brush 2 to rotate; as the rolling brush 2 rotates, the rolling brush surface firstly pass through the air suction pipeline 7, part of dirt on the rolling brush surface is sucked into the air suction pipeline 7, and the rest of dirt on the rolling brush surface further rotates to a position where the dirt remover 6 is located with the rotation of the rolling brush 2, and the dirt remover 6 is in interference with the rolling brush surface along the axial direction of the rolling brush 2, so that the rest of dirt (mainly liquid) on the rolling brush surface can be extruded out, falls into the air suction port of the air suction pipeline 7, and is sucked, and the rolling brush surface with dirt is further cleaned. Then, the rolling brush 2 further rotates, and the relatively clean rolling brush surface cleaned by the dirt remover 6 rotates to a position corresponding to the cleaning medium spray orifices 32, and at this time, the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 spray a cleaning medium (liquid) to the rolling brush surface, the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 cover a straight line along the axial direction of the rolling brush surface, the amounts of the cleaning medium sprayed out of various cleaning medium spray orifices 32 are substantially equal, and there are a lot of cleaning medium spray orifices 32, so that as the rolling brush 2 rotates, the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 that are arranged along the axial direction can cover the entire rolling brush surface, and the cleaning medium is uniformly sprayed to the entire rolling brush 2.
Further, as the rolling brush 2 continuously rotates, the rolling brush surface absorbing the cleaning medium rotates to a position where the liquid extruder 4 is located, and the liquid extruder 4 is in interference with the rolling brush surface along the axial direction of the rolling brush 2, so that the liquid extruder 4 makes the cleaning medium uniform on the rolling brush surface while extruding out the cleaning medium on the rolling brush surface, that is, the cleaning medium sprayed by the cleaning medium spray orifices 32 onto the rolling brush surface is changed from point uniformness to linear uniformness. Further, the liquid extruded out by the liquid extruder 4 is collected into a groove 51 below the liquid extruder 4, and after a liquid storage groove of the groove 51 is full, the liquid is uniformly guided to the rolling brush surface by a contact surface, contacting the rolling brush surface, in the liquid storage groove, that is, the liquid extruded by the liquid extruder 4 is changed from linear uniformness to surface uniformness, so that the rolling brush 2 is cleaned completely, and the cleaning efficiency and the cleanliness of the rolling brush 2 are improved.
In practical applications, at work, cleaning apparatus such as a cleaner can suck water and solid matter into a collection bin at the same time. However, water and solid matter are sucked into the collection bin at the same time, which causes the mixing of solid and liquid waste. When treating such mixed solid-liquid waste, because no filtering apparatus is arranged on the collection bin, people cannot separate the liquid and the solid when pouring the mixed solid-liquid waste, and often pour water containing solid matter directly into a sewer or a toilet, and the solid matter in the collection bin easily causes the blockage of the sewer or the toilet, which brings inconvenience to people. In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a collection bin and a cleaning apparatus. On the one hand, matter in the collection bin is filtered by a filtering plate on a separation apparatus, so that different matter in the bin is separated, and separate treatment of different matter is achieved.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a collection bin, which includes: a bin main body 10a and a separation apparatus 20a.
A mounting structure 11a is arranged in the bin main body 10a. The separation apparatus 20a includes a filtering plate 23a. The filtering plate 23a has filtering holes 22a. The separation apparatus 20a is detachably connected with the mounting structure 11a. The filtering plate 23a is located on a pouring path of the bin main body 10a. Preferably, the filtering plate 23a is located at the top of the bin main body 10a, or the filtering plate 23a is located in the bin main body 10a and close to the top of the bin main body 10a.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, on the one hand, the separation apparatus 20a is arranged on the bin main body 10a, and when matter in the bin is poured via the pouring path of the bin main body 10a, the matter in the bin can be filtered by the filtering plate 23a on the separation apparatus 20a, part of the matter in the bin is poured out after passing through the filtering plate 23a, and part of the matter is isolated in the bin, so that separate treatment of different matter is achieved, a guarantee for subsequent treatment is provided, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, the separation apparatus 20a is connected with the mounting structure 11a, which can enhance the connection stability of the separation apparatus 20a and prevent the separation apparatus 20a from being separated from the bin main body 10a when matter in the bin main body 10a is poured out.
For example, when in use, with reference to

Of course, with reference to
Further, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the collection bin includes but is not limited to a collection bin of a cleaner, and the collection bin of the cleaner has an air guiding pipe. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the separation apparatus 20a can be connected to the bin main body through the air guiding pipe. Specifically, with reference to
Further, with reference to
In order to enhance the connection strength between the connecting bracket 21a and the air guiding pipe, in a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the at least two supporting arms 211 are elastic and clamp the air guiding pipe. When extending between the at least two supporting arms 211, the air guiding pipe pushes the at least two supporting arms 211 to make the at least two supporting arms 211 elastically deform, and the at least two supporting arms 211 clamp the air guiding pipe through an elastic restoring force, thereby improving the connection strength between the connecting bracket 21a and the air guiding pipe.
In another possible implementation, the sleeving part 212 is elastic and clamps the air guiding pipe. When sleeved with the sleeving part 212, the air guiding pipe pushes the sleeving part 212 to make the sleeving part 212 elastically deform, and the sleeving part 212 clamps the air guiding pipe through an elastic restoring force, thereby improving the connection strength between the connecting bracket 21a and the air guiding pipe.
Of course, the supporting arms 211 and the sleeving part 212 may both elastic, so that the connection strength between the connecting bracket 21a and the air guiding pipe is improved under the action of the double elastic restoring force.
In order to enhance the connection strength between the connecting bracket 21a and the air guiding pipe, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, in another possible implementation, an anti-skid structure is arranged on an inner wall surface (a surface facing the air guiding pipe) of the connecting bracket 21a, and the anti-skid structure can be realized by at least one convex rib (not shown in the figure), bump, pattern, etc. For example, preferably, the convex rib is in an upright strip shape and parallel to length directions of the supporting arms 211. Of course, the convex rib is not limited thereto and may be in a block shape, etc. The connecting bracket 21a is sleeved on the air guiding pipe, the anti-skid structure abuts against the air guiding pipe tightly, and when the connecting bracket 21a is sleeved on the air guiding pipe, an external force is required to overcome the friction between the anti-skid structure and the air guiding pipe. The external force may be provided by a user. Accordingly, after the connecting bracket 21a is sleeved on the air guiding pipe, the friction stabilizes the relative position of the connecting bracket 21a and the air guiding pipe, thereby improving the connection strength between the connecting bracket 21a and the air guiding pipe.
With continuous reference to
In order to better achieve the filtering effect of the filtering plate 23a, a mounting position of the connecting bracket 21a relative to the air guiding pipe needs to be limited. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the limiting structure 25a may be implemented in various ways, for example, the limiting structure 25a includes but is not limited to a bump or a limiting plate. The limiting structure 25a may be connected to the supporting arms 211 or the filtering plate 23a.
In a possible implementation, with reference to
When the limiting structure 25a abuts against the port of the air guiding pipe, in order to prevent the limiting structure 25a from affecting the smoothness of the port of the air guiding pipe, further, the limiting structure 25a is of a second arc-shaped structure having an arc matching an arc of the port of the air guiding pipe, so that the second arc-shaped structure can avoid the port of the air guiding pipe to ensure the smoothness of the port of the air guiding pipe.
With continuous reference to
Accordingly, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a cleaning apparatus, which includes: a body and a collection bin. The collection bin may be the collection bin of Embodiment 3 described above, and the relevant features of Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 4 can be referred to each other. The cleaning apparatus includes but is not limited to a cleaner, a dust collector, a cleaning trolley, a cleaning robot, etc. The body in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes but is not limited to a main body of a cleaner, a dust collector, a cleaning trolley, and a cleaning robot. Of course, the collection bin may be used as a separate component and is not specifically limited herein.
The cleaning apparatus will be described in the following embodiments by taking a cleaner as an example. It should be noted that the description of a cleaner is by way of example only and should not be construed as unduly limiting the embodiments of the present disclosure.
The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a cleaning apparatus, which includes: a body and a collection bin.
The body has an accommodation cavity. The collection bin is located in the accommodation cavity, and the collection bin includes: a bin main body 10a and a separation apparatus 20a. A mounting structure 11a is arranged in the bin main body 10a. The separation apparatus 20a includes a filtering plate 23a. The separation apparatus 20a is detachably connected with the mounting structure 11a. The filtering plate 23a is located on a pouring path of the bin main body 10a. Further, the separation apparatus 20a further includes a connecting bracket 21a. The filtering plate 23a is arranged on the connecting bracket 21a, and the connecting bracket 21a extends into the bin main body 10a and is connected with the mounting structure 11a.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the one hand, the collection bin can be taken out of the accommodation cavity of the cleaning apparatus to pour out matter in the collection bin. When the matter in the bin is poured out via the pouring path of the bin main body 10a, the matter in the bin can be filtered by the filtering plate 23a on the separation apparatus 20a, part of the matter in the bin is poured out after passing through the filtering plate 23a, and part of the matter is isolated in the bin, so that separate treatment of different matter is achieved, a guarantee for subsequent treatment is provided, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, the separation apparatus 20a is connected with the mounting structure 11a, so that the connection stability of the separation apparatus 20a is enhanced, which prevents the separation apparatus 20a from being separated from the bin main body 10a when the matter in the bin main body 10a is poured out.
The technical solutions adopted by the embodiment of the present disclosure are described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios to facilitate understanding. The following application scenarios are described by taking a cleaner as an example.
Application Scenario I
At normal work, the cleaner can suck sewage and solid waste into a collection bin at the same time, which is convenient and reduce the labour intensity. After the cleaner works for a period of time, matter in the collection bin needs to be cleaned up, and there are sewage and all kinds of solid waste, such as hairs, flakes, bars, or large particles of dust, in the collection bin.
If there is no separation apparatus on the collection bin, after the matter in the bin is poured into a sewer or a toilet, the matter, such as hairs, flakes, bars, or large particles of dust, in the collection bin easily causes the blockage of the sewer or the toilet, which brings inconvenience to people.
If a collection bin is the collection bin provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the bin main body is connected with a separation apparatus. When in use, the bin main body is first tilted, the matter in the bin main body flows to the pouring port via the pouring path, and when passing through the pouring path, the matter in the bin is filtered by the filtering plate. Water flows out via filtering holes and is poured into the sewer or the toilet. The solid matter is isolated in the bin by the filtering plate, so that the liquid waste and the solid waste are separated. After the water is poured out, the solid waste remaining in the bin can be poured into a trash can.
Application Scenario II
In Application Scenario I, a collection bin is the collection bin provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and when matter in the bin is poured out of the collection bin, the connecting bracket provides a supporting force for the entire separation apparatus, which prevents the separation apparatus from being separated from the bin main body when the matter is poured out of the bin main body. Meanwhile, the connecting bracket extends into the bin main body to avoid occupying a space outside the bin main body.
Application Scenario III
In Application Scenario I, a collection bin is the collection bin provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and when matter in the bin is poured out of the collection bin, solid waste remains on the filtering plate. At this time, the separation apparatus can be detached from the bin main body, so that the solid waste can be cleaned conveniently. After the solid waste is thoroughly cleaned, the separation apparatus is mounted to the bin main body again.
In practice applications, after a cleaner or a dust collector completes the cleaning, a collection bin can be detached from a main machine body, so that matter in the collection bin can be poured out conveniently, and after the matter in the bin is poured out, the collection bin can be connected to the main machine body again. After the collection bin is connected to the main machine body, air leakage may occur, thereby affecting the tightness between the collection bin and the main machine body, causing a failure in complete transferring of a suction force of the main machine body into the collection bin, and affecting collection of waste from a pipeline by the collection bin. In order to better guarantee the tightness between the collection bin and the main machine body, a sealing ring usually has a round of outward curled edge, that is, the curled edge extends away from a central axis of the sealing ring. Although a good sealing effect can be achieved by the outward curled edge, due to assembly factors, inward curling of the curled edge easily occurs to cause air leakage. For example, during assembly, a front curled edge, close to an assembly direction, of the sealing ring tends to rub against a lower edge of the main machine body, resulting in inward curling, that is, the outward curled edge is reversely curled under the resistance of the lower edge of the main body, thereby causing untight sealing, and resulting in air leakage due to a gap between the collection bin and the main machine body.
In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a collection bin, a filter assembly, and a cleaning apparatus to solve the above technical problems. Extending directions of a first curled edge and a second curled edge of a sealing ring are opposite to an assembly direction, and during assembly, reverse curling does not occur, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling of the curled edges of the sealing ring, and preventing the sealing effect of the collection bin from being affected.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a collection bin, which includes: a bin body 10b and a sealing ring 20b. The bin body 10b has an air outlet 11b. The sealing ring 20b surrounds a periphery of the air outlet 11b. A second curled edge 22b and a first curled edge 21b are respectively formed at the front and the rear of the sealing ring 20b along an assembly direction of the bin body 10b, and extending directions of the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are opposite to the assembly direction. It should be noted that the extending direction here refers to a curling trend direction of the curled edge, or it can be understood that the extending direction refers to a curling direction of the curled edge and does not refer to a length direction of the curled edge.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing ring 20b surrounds the periphery of the air outlet 11b of the bin body 10b, and the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b of the sealing ring extend away from the assembly direction, and therefore, when the collection bin is assembled along the assembly direction, even if the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b rub against a foreign object, they will not be curled reversely, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling of the curled edges of the sealing ring, and preventing the sealing effect of the collection bin from being affected.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a dotted arrow direction shown in
In a possible implementation of the main machine 43b, a mounting cavity 41b is formed on the main machine 43b, and an air inlet 42b is formed in the mounting cavity 41b. The bin body 10b of the collection bin enters the mounting cavity 41b along the assembly direction and is connected with the main machine 43b, the air outlet 11b and the air inlet 42b are communicated, and the sealing ring 20b seals a gap between the air outlet 11b and the air inlet 42b. The first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b correspondingly seal the gap between the air outlet 11b and the air inlet 42b. When the collection bin is assembled along the assembly direction, because the extending directions of the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are opposite to the assembly direction, which can be also understood as that the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b extend along a moving direction of the main machine 43b, even if the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b rub against the main machine 43b, for example, rub against a lower edge of the air inlet 42b, they will not be curled reversely, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling, and preventing the sealing between the collection bin and the main machine 43b from being affected. A state of the collection bin mounted on the main machine 43b is shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a shape of the air outlet 11b includes but is not limited to a rectangle shape, a round shape, and other shapes. Taking a rectangular air outlet 11b as an example, the air outlet 11b includes four side lines among which two opposite side lines are arranged in tandem along the assembly direction, and it can be also understood that length directions of the two side lines are substantially perpendicular to the assembly direction. The first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are arranged on the two side lines, and the extending directions of the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are opposite to the assembly direction. In order to guarantee the sealing performance of the sealing ring 20b, the sealing ring 20b may be made of an elastic material.
Further, in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the length directions of the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are both perpendicular to the assembly direction. The first curled edge 21b extends away from a central axis of the sealing ring 20b. The second curled edge 22b extends towards the central axis of the sealing ring 20b. It should be noted that the central axis of the sealing ring 20b here refers to an axial line perpendicular to a plane where the sealing ring 20b is located and passing through a center of the sealing ring 20b. The central axis of the sealing ring 20b is located inside the sealing ring 20b. Further, it can be also understood as that the first curled edge 21b extends away from an interior of the sealing ring 20b. The second curled edge 22b extends towards the interior of the sealing ring 20b.
With continuous reference to
In order to further improve the sealing effect of the sealing ring 20b, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing ring 20b further has a third curled edge formed between the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b. The third curled edge extends away from the central axis of the sealing ring 20b. It can be also understood as that the third curled edge extends away from the interior of the sealing ring 20b. Taking a rectangular air outlet 11b as an example, the air outlet 11b includes four side lines among which two opposite side lines are arranged in tandem along the assembly direction, and the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are arranged on the two side lines. The third curled edges are formed on the other two opposite side lines, and the tightness of a position between the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b is improved by the third curled edges. Preferably, a length direction of the third curled edge is parallel to the assembly direction. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b, the third cured edge, and the sealing ring 20b are of an integrated structure.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the third curled edge is connected with the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b, respectively. The first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b, and the third curled edge surround the periphery of the air outlet 11b. After the first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b, and the third curled edge are connected, a round of curled edge is formed in the sealing ring 20b, so that a gap between the first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b, and the third curled edge is avoided, the sealing performance of the sealing ring 20b is improved, and air leakage between the collection bin and the main machine 43b is avoided.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing ring 20b is configured to seal the gap between the air outlet 11b of the collection bin and the air inlet 42b of the main machine 43b, and therefore, one method for connecting the sealing ring 20b is that the sealing ring 20b is connected with the bin body 10b. The connection between the sealing ring 20b and the bin body 10b includes but is not limited to a detachable connection, for example, a sealing groove is formed on an end surface of the air outlet 11b, the sealing ring 20b is embedded in the sealing groove by interference, and the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b of the sealing ring 20b are located outside the sealing groove. When the bin body 10b of the collection bin enters the mounting cavity 41b along the assembly direction and is connected to the main machine 43b, the air outlet 11b and the air inlet 42b are communicated, and the sealing ring 20b seals the gap between the air outlet 11b and the air inlet 42b. The first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b correspondingly seal the gap between the air outlet 11b and the air inlet 42b.
Another method for connecting the sealing ring 20b is that in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the bin body 10b includes a receiving cavity communicated with the air outlet 11b and a filter assembly arranged in the receiving cavity, and the sealing ring 20b is connected with the filter assembly. The filter assembly includes but is not limited to a HEPA (High efficiency particulate air Filter) assembly, a cotton filter assembly, a filter screen assembly, a filter pipe assembly, etc. The air in the collection bin can be filtered by the filter assembly and then flows out of the air outlet 11b, impurities, such as dust, contained in the air are intercepted by the filter assembly, and then the clean air flows to the main motor apparatus of the main machine 43b. The filter assembly may be used as a part of the collection bin or as a separate component. In order to replace the filter assembly conveniently, the filter assembly is detachably connected to the inside of the receiving cavity.
A possible method for connecting the sealing ring 20b to the filter assembly is that the filter assembly is detachably connected to the inside of the receiving cavity and partially extends out of the air outlet 11b. The sealing ring 20b is connected with the part, extending out of the air outlet 11b, of the filter assembly. After being connected with the filter assembly, the sealing ring 20b surrounds the periphery of the air outlet 11b so as to seal the gap between the air outlet 11b and the air inlet 42b.
Further, with reference to
A method for connecting the filter assembly to the sealing ring 20b is that a first clamping part 31b is arranged on the part, extending out of the air outlet 11b, of the filter assembly. A second clamping part 23b matched with the first clamping part 31b in use is arranged on the sealing ring 20b, and the first clamping part 31b is detachably connected with the second clamping part 23b. Specifically, with reference to
Of course, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first clamping part 31b may be a bump, and the second clamping part 23b may be a clamping groove. Or, the first clamping part 31b is of a structure with a hump and a clamping groove that are arranged at intervals, and the second clamping part 23b is of a corresponding structure with a clamping groove and a hump that are arranged at intervals. Arrangements of the first clamping part 31b and the second clamping part 23b are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
With continuous reference to
An inclination direction of the inclined structure can be set according to different assembly requirements. A possible arrangement of the inclined structure is that along the assembly direction, the height of the air outlet 11b gradually decreases from back to front relative to the bin body 10b, and the height of the first curled edge 21b is greater than that of the second curled edge 22b. The height of the air outlet 11b of the main machine 43b also correspondingly gradually decreases relative to the air outlet 11b of this structure, that is, the space is gradually reduced from an opening of the mounting cavity 41b to an interior of the mounting cavity 41b, and through the mounting cavity 41b of this structure, the collection bin is easily mounted in the mounting cavity 41b. The height of the first curled edge 21b is greater than that of the second curled edge 22b, and when the collection bin is assembled along the assembly direction, the second curled edge 22b enters the mounting cavity 41b of the main machine 43b earlier than the first curled edge 21b, so that the collection bin is mounted smoothly.
Of course, according to different assembly requirements, the inclination direction of the inclined structure may also be that along the assembly direction, the height of the air outlet 11b gradually increases from back to front relative to the bin body 10b, and the height of the first curled edge 21b is less than that of the second curled edge 22b.
In order to better achieve the filtering effect of the filter assembly on the air outlet 11b, with reference to

On the basis of Embodiment 5, Embodiment 6 of the present disclosure further provides a filter assembly, which can be used as a separate component or can be matched with the collection bin of Embodiment 5 in use. Implementations of the filter assembly of Embodiment 6 can refer to the implementations of Embodiment 5. A specific solution is as follows:
with reference to
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b of the sealing ring 20b extend away from the assembly direction, and therefore, when the filter assembly is assembled along the assembly direction, even if the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22 rub against a foreign object, they will not be curled reversely, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling of the curled edges of the sealing ring 20b, and preventing the sealing effect of the filter assembly from being affected.
It should be noted that the filter assembly of Embodiment 6 of the present disclosure can be matched with the collection bin of Embodiment 5 described above or other types of collection bins in use. The assembly direction of Embodiment 6 of the present disclosure does not refer to an assembly direction in which the filter assembly is mounted on the collection bin, but refers to an assembly direction in which the filter assembly is mounted on a main machine 43b of a cleaning apparatus under the driving of the collection bin after the filter assembly is mounted on the collection bin, and the dotted arrow direction shown in
The collection bin can be matched with the main machine 43b of the cleaning apparatus in use, and the main machine 43b and the collection bin are combined to form the cleaning apparatus. It should be noted that the main machine 43b is not completely shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a shape of the air outlet surface includes but is not limited to a rectangle shape, a round shape, and other shapes, and the bracket 30b is matched with the air outlet surface in shape. Taking a rectangle air outlet surface as an example, the air outlet surface includes four side lines among which two opposite side lines are arranged in tandem along the assembly direction, and it can be also understood as that length directions of the two side lines are substantially perpendicular to the assembly direction. The first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are arranged on the two side lines, and the extending directions of the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are opposite to the assembly direction. In order to guarantee the sealing performance of the sealing ring 20b, the sealing ring 20b may be made of an elastic material.
Further, with reference to
Of course, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first clamping part 31b may be a bump, and the second clamping part 23b may be a clamping groove.

Arrangements of the first clamping part 31b and the second clamping part 23b are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet surface is of an inclined structure. The air outlet surface of the inclined structure can be matched with an air outlet 11b of an inclined structure in use. The air outlet 11b of the collection bin is of an inclined structure, and accordingly, the air inlet 42b of the main machine 43b is of an inclined structure matching the air outlet 11b.
Through the air outlet 11b of the inclined structure, the collection bin is easily mounted on the main machine 43b, and the air outlet 11b is easily communicated with the air inlet 42b. Through the air outlet surface of the inclined structure, the filter can be adaptively filled in the air outlet 11b to ensure that the air flowing out of the air outlet 11b is necessarily filtered by the filter, thereby preventing impurities such as dust from entering the main machine 43b and achieving a better filtering effect of the filter assembly on the air outlet 11b.
An inclination direction of the inclined structure of the air outlet surface can be set according to different assembly requirements. A possible arrangement of the inclined structure is that along the assembly direction, the height of the air outlet surface gradually decreases from back to front, and the height of the first curled edge 21b is greater than that of the second curled edge 22b. The air outlet 11b of the collection bin is of an inclined structure matching the air outlet surface of this structure, and the height of the air outlet 11b of the main machine 43b also correspondingly gradually decreases, that is, the space is gradually reduced from an opening of the mounting cavity 41b to an interior of the mounting cavity 41b, and through the mounting cavity 41b of this structure, the collection bin is easily mounted in the mounting cavity 41b. The height of the first curled edge 21b is greater than that of the second curled edge 22b, and when the collection bin is assembled along the assembly direction, the second curled edge 22b enters the mounting cavity 41b of the main machine 43b earlier than the first curled edge 21b, so that the collection bin is mounted smoothly.
Of course, according to different assembly requirements, the inclination direction of the inclined structure of the air outlet surface may also be that along the assembly direction, the height of the air outlet surface gradually increases from back to front, and the height of the first curled edge 21b is less than that of the second curled edge 22b.
Further, in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the length directions of the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are both perpendicular to the assembly direction. The first curled edge 21b extends away from a central axis of the sealing ring 20b. The second curled edge 22b extends towards the central axis of the sealing ring 20b. It should be noted that the central axis of the sealing ring 20b here refers to an axial line perpendicular to a plane where the sealing ring 20b is located and passing through a center of the sealing ring 20b. The central axis of the sealing ring 20b is located in the sealing ring 20b. Further, it can be also understood as that the first curled edge 21b extends away from an interior of the sealing ring 20b. The second curled edge 22b extends towards the interior of the sealing ring 20b.
With continuous reference to
In order to further improve the sealing effect of the sealing ring 20b, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing ring 20b further has a third curled edge formed between the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b. The third curled edge extends away from the central axis of the sealing ring 20b. It can be also understood as that the third curled edge extends away from the interior of the sealing ring 20b. Taking a rectangular air outlet surface as an example, the air outlet surface includes four side lines among which two opposite side lines are arranged in tandem along the assembly direction, and the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b are arranged on the two side lines. The third curled edges are formed on the other two opposite side lines, and the tightness of a position between the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b is improved by the third curled edges. Preferably, a length direction of the third curled edge is parallel to the assembly direction. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b, the third cured edge, and the sealing ring 20b are of an integrated structure.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the third curled edge is connected with the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b, respectively. The first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b, and the third curled edge surround the periphery of the air outlet surface. After the first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b, and the third curled edge are connected, a round of curled edge is formed in the sealing ring 20b, so that a gap between the first curled edge 21b, the second curled edge 22b and the third curled edge is avoided, the sealing performance of the sealing ring 20b is improved, and air leakage between the collection bin and the main machine 43b is avoided.
It should be noted that the technical features of the sealing ring 20b of Embodiment 6 can refer to the implementations of the sealing ring 20b of Embodiment 5, and the relevant technical features of Embodiment 6 can refer to the technical features of Embodiment 5 and will not be described again here.
On the basis of Embodiment 5 and Embodiment 6, Embodiment 7 of the present disclosure further provides a cleaning apparatus, which includes a main machine 43b and a collection bin. The collection bin may be implemented by the collection bin of Embodiment 5, and a filter assembly may be implemented by the filter assembly of Embodiment 5 or Embodiment 6. A specific solution is as follows:
with reference to
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sealing ring 20b surrounds the periphery of the air outlet 11b of the bin body 10b, the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b of the sealing ring 20b extend in a direction opposite to the assembly direction, and therefore, when the collection bin is assembled along the assembly direction, even if the first curled edge 21b and the second curled edge 22b rub against a foreign object such as the main machine 43b, they will not be curled, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling of the curled edges of the sealing ring 20b, and preventing the tightness between the collection bin and the main machine 43b from being affected. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the extending direction refers to a curling trend direction of the curled edge, or it can be also understood that the extending direction refers to a curling direction of the curled edge and does not refer to a length direction of the curled edge.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaning apparatus includes but is not limited to the cleaning apparatus shown in
The cleaning apparatus described in the above and below embodiments is described by taking the cleaning apparatus shown in
A mounting cavity 41b is arranged on a main machine 43b, a suction port is formed at the bottom of the mounting cavity 41b, a suction mechanism is further arranged in the main machine 43b, and the suction mechanism includes a main motor apparatus which is configured to provide a negative pressure suction force for suction. An air flow channel is formed among the suction port, the collection bin, and the suction mechanism. The suction mechanism is configured to produce negative pressure at work, so that waste, including but not limited to water, dust, paper, hair, etc., near the suction port is sucked into a waste receiving cavity of the main machine 43b by the collection bin and the suction port.
Technical features of the collection bin of Embodiment 7 can refer to the implementations of the collection bin of Embodiment 5, technical features of the filter assembly of Embodiment 7 can refer to the implementations of the filter assembly of Embodiment 5 or Embodiment 6, and relevant technical features of Embodiment 7 can refer to the technical features of Embodiment 5 or Embodiment 6, which will not be described again here.
The technical solutions adopted by the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios to facilitate understanding. The following application scenarios are described by taking a cleaner as an example.
Application Scenario IV
When the collection bin is assembled along the dotted arrow direction shown in
Application Scenario V
The filter assembly is a separate component, and is mounted in the air outlet of the collection bin before the collection bin is assembled on the main machine. The filter assembly is detachably connected with the collection bin, so that users may clean or replace the filter assembly conveniently.
When the collection bin is assembled on the main machine along the assembly direction, the filter assembly on the collection bin is obliquely assembled on the main machine. The extending directions of the first curled edge and the second curled edge are opposite to the assembly direction, and therefore, even if the first curled edge and the second curled edge rub against the main machine, for example, rub against a lower edge of the air inlet, they will not be curled reversely. After assembly is finished, the bin body of the collection bin enters the mounting cavity along the assembly direction and is connected with the main machine, the air outlet is communicated with the air inlet, and the sealing ring seals the gap between the air outlet and the air inlet. The first curled edge and the second curled edge correspondingly seal the gap between the air outlet and the air inlet. During assembly, the first curled edge and the second curled edge are not curled reversely, thereby avoiding air leakage caused by reverse curling, and preventing the tightness between the collection bin and the main machine from being affected.
In practice applications, after the cleaner cleans the ground with water, and the whole cleaner is shut down, a pool of water usually remains on the ground near the soft rubber scraper, which causes secondary contamination to the ground and reduces the cleaning efficiency of the cleaner. For example, when seeing that sewage on the ground is cleaned up, a user will shut down the machine immediately, at this time, sewage in the suction pipeline of the cleaner is not completely sucked into the collection bin, and the sewage remaining in the suction pipeline will flow out along the suction pipeline and fall down along the scraper, leaving a pool of water on the ground.
The reason is that a surface, facing the suction pipeline, of the soft rubber scraper is relatively smooth without a structure for preventing matter such as water from falling down, and therefore, after shutdown, the sewage remaining in the suction pipeline flows out along the suction pipeline and flows down along the scraper with a smooth surface.
In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vacuum head, a cleaning apparatus, and a self-moving cleaning robot to solve the above technical problems. Dirt that moves from a scraper assembly to a surface to be cleaned can be stored in a first storage groove on the scraper assembly, thereby preventing the dirt from remaining on a surface to be cleaned near the scraper assembly, and improving the cleaning efficiency. The surface to be cleaned may be a surface such as the ground, the floor, and a carpet.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vacuum head, which includes: a body 10c and a scraper assembly 20c. A suction port 11c is formed at the bottom of the body 10c. The scraper assembly 20c is arranged at the suction port 11c, one end of the scraper assembly 20c is connected with the body 10c, and the other end of the scraper assembly 20c faces a surface to be cleaned 30c. A first storage groove 22c is formed in the scraper assembly 20c. It should be noted that the above “faces a surface to be cleaned 30c” means that the other end of the scraper assembly extends towards the surface to be cleaned 30c. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the other end of the scraper assembly 20c extends to abut against the surface to be cleaned 30c, but the other end of the scraper assembly 20c is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the other end of the scraper assembly 20c may be suspended above the surface to be cleaned.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scraper assembly 20c can quickly gather dirt, such as sewage, dust, and scraps of paper, on the surface to be cleaned 30c together, so that the vacuum head at work can clean the surface to be cleaned 30c more quickly to achieve higher cleanliness of the surface to be cleaned 30c. Meanwhile, the first storage groove 22c is formed in the scraper assembly 20c, dirt that moves from the scraper assembly 20c to the surface to be cleaned 30c can be stored in the first storage groove 22c, thereby preventing the dirt from remaining on the surface to be cleaned 30c near the scraper assembly 20c, and improving the cleaning efficiency.
For example, in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the scraper assembly 20c has a matter guiding surface 21c for gathering dirt together, the first storage groove 22c is formed on the matter guiding surface 21c, and the suction port 11c is located in front of the matter guiding surface 21c. The first storage groove 22c may be formed on the matter guiding surface 21c or other parts of the scraper assembly 20c, for example, the first storage groove 22c is formed at a lower end of the scraper assembly 20c, or the first storage groove 22c is formed at an upper end of the scraper assembly 20c. One or more first storage grooves 22c may be formed, and if a plurality of first storage grooves 22c are formed, the plurality of first storage groove 22c are all formed on the matter guiding surface 21c, or respectively formed on the matter guiding surface 21c, the lower end of the scraper assembly 20c, and the upper end of the scraper assembly 20c. Of course, other arrangements are also included and will not be described here. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the front and the rear are described relative to a traveling direction of the vacuum head, which is indicated by a dotted arrow direction shown in
The scraper assembly 20c is elastic and can contact the ground by its own gravity and a supporting force of the body 10c of the vacuum head at normal work, so that the scraper assembly 20c can be attached to the ground well to gather dirt on the floor together. For example, sewage, dust, scraps of paper, etc., on the ground can be gathered together by the matter guiding surface 21c.
When moving, for example, along the dotted arrow direction shown in
After cleaning is finished, the dirt (including matter such as sewage) in the suction pipeline is not completely sucked into the collection bin in time, and the sewage remaining in the suction pipeline will flow out along the suction port 11c and flow down along the scraper assembly 20c. Because the first storage groove 22c is formed in the scraper assembly 20c, matter such as sewage directly enters the first storage groove 22c when flowing through the first storage groove 22c, thereby preventing the sewage from flowing onto the surface to be cleaned 30c.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the vacuum head includes but is not limited to the vacuum head shown in
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the body 10c includes a base plate and an upper cover, where the upper cover is detachably arranged on the base plate to protect various functional components in the vacuum head from being damaged by violent impact and unintentional dripping liquid when in use. The base plate is configured to bear and support various functional components such as a scraper assembly 20c and a rolling brush assembly 12c.
A suction port 11c is formed at the bottom of the base plate, and a suction mechanism (not shown) is configured to produce negative pressure at work to suck dirt, including but not limited to sewage, dust, scraps of paper, hairs, etc., near the suction port 11c into a collection apparatus such as a dust collection box or a collection bin. The suction mechanism includes a fan configured to provide a suction force for sucking waste via the suction port 11c. After the fan sucks up waste, the waste enters a suction air channel in the body 10c via the suction port 11c, the suction air channel is connected with the collection apparatus, a filtering sheet is arranged in the collection apparatus and configured to separate the suction port 11c from an air inlet of the fan so as to prevent fine debris from entering the fan.
A rolling brush assembly 12c is further arranged on the base plate and detachably mounted on the base plate in a transverse direction, and the transverse direction refers to a direction substantially perpendicular to a traveling direction of the vacuum head. When moving forward for cleaning, the vacuum head collects dirt on the ground, and the collected waste is transferred into the collection apparatus by the suction mechanism. In order to clean waste on the surface to be cleaned 30c more thoroughly, the suction port 11c is usually arranged behind or in front of the rolling brush assembly 12c, and accordingly, the scraper assembly 20c may also be arranged behind or in front of the rolling brush assembly 12c.
Further, in order to prevent dirt flowing out of the suction port 11c from bypassing the scraper assembly 20c and directly flowing onto the surface to be cleaned 30c, in a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, at least part of the scraper assembly 20c abuts against an opening of the suction port 11c. After cleaning is finished, a small amount of dirt that is not completely sucked into the vacuum head in time usually flows down along an edge of the opening of the suction port 11c when flowing out of the suction port 11c, and therefore, the scraper assembly 20 can guide the matter such as sewage that flows out of the suction port 11c to the scraper assembly 20c through the part abutting against the opening of the suction port 11c, and the matter such as sewage enters the first storage groove 22c along the scraper assembly 20c.
In another possible implementation, at least part of the scraper assembly 20c is located below the suction port 11c. When cleaning is finished, if matter that is not completely sucked into the vacuum head in time does not flow out along the edge of the opening of the suction port 11c, the scraper assembly 20c can catch the matter such as sewage flowing out of the suction port 11c through the part located below the suction port 11c, and guides the matter into the first storage groove 22c along the surface of the scraper assembly 20c.
It should be noted that the above two methods for preventing dirt from bypassing the scraper assembly 20c can be realized independently or in combination, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency of the vacuum head, the length of the scraper assembly 20c is substantially equal to that of the rolling brush assembly 12c, and a length direction of the scraper assembly 20c is substantially parallel to a rotary axis direction of the rolling brush assembly 12c. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first storage groove 22c extends along the length direction of the scraper assembly 20c. An extending direction of the first storage groove 22c stretches across a flow path of dirt on the scraper assembly 20c, and matter such as sewage can directly enter the first storage tank 22c when flowing from the scraper assembly 20c to the surface to be cleaned 30c and passing through the first storage groove 22c.
In order to ensure that all of the dirt that flows on the scraper assembly 20c enters the first storage groove 22c, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first storage groove 22c penetrates through the scraper assembly 20c along the length direction of the scraper assembly 20c. That is, the length of the first storage groove 22c is equal to that of the scraper assembly 20c, and therefore, all of the dirt flowing on the scraper assembly 20c can enter the first storage groove 22c when moving towards the surface to be cleaned 30c, thereby reducing the chance of falling onto the surface to be cleaned 30c.
Further, in order to prevent matter in the first storage groove 22c from overflowing out of two ends of the first storage groove 22c, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, two ends, along the length direction, of the scraper assembly 20c are both provided with an anti-overflow plug. The two ends of the first storage groove 22c are blocked by the anti-overflow plugs to prevent matter such as sewage from overflowing out of the two ends of the first storage groove 22c. The anti-overflow plugs and the scraper assembly 20c may be of an integrated structure, or the anti-overflow plugs and the scraper assembly 20c are of a split structure, and the anti-overflow plugs are connected to the scraper assembly 20c by clamping or through fastening members.
With continuous reference to
The scraper assembly 20c contacts the surface to be cleaned 30c, when the cleaning apparatus moves, a sliding friction is formed between the scraper assembly 20c and the surface to be cleaned 30c, and the friction will cause a loud noise. In order to reduce noise caused by friction, in a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the wall thickness of the first storage groove of the scraper assembly 20c is less than the wall thicknesses of other parts of the scraper assembly 20c. The thinning of the wall thickness of the first storage groove 22c of the scraper assembly 20c, i.e. the local thinning of the scraper assembly 20c, increases the deformability of the scraper assembly 20c, and the scraper assembly 20c can deform more easily when in interference contact with the surface to be cleaned 30c, thereby reducing a contact force between the scraper assembly 20c and the surface to be cleaned 30c, and reducing friction and noise. Meanwhile, the scraper assembly 20c can float relative to the body 10c under the action of the deformability of the scraper assembly 20c when encountering an obstacle, and the scraper assembly 20c can pass over the obstacle smoothly, thereby automatically adjusting friction between the scraper assembly 20c and the obstacle, reducing wear, and prolonging the service life. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scraper assembly 20c can be implemented in a variety of ways, and in a possible implementation, with reference to
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a possible method for connecting the first clamping part to the second clamping part is that the first clamping part is a snap, and the second clamping part is a clamping groove. A plurality of snaps may be arranged along a length direction of the connecting assembly 24c. Accordingly, a plurality of clamping grooves is arranged at positions, corresponding to the snaps, on the scraper 25c. Implementations and connections methods of the snap and the clamping groove are relatively simple, the connecting assembly 24c can be quickly connected to the scraper 25c, and meanwhile, after the snap is connected to the clamping groove, the connection is firm and reliable, and the detachment will not occur easily. Of course, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first clamping part may be a clamping groove, and the second clamping part may be a snap. Or, the first clamping part on the connecting assembly 24c is of a structure with a snap and a clamping groove that are arranged at intervals, and the second clamping part on the scraper 25c is of a corresponding structure with a clamping groove and a snap that are arranged at intervals. Arrangements of the first clamping part and the second clamping part are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the entire scraper 25c may be made of an elastic material, or a part, connected with the connecting assembly 24c, of the scraper 25c may be made of a harder material, and a part, facing the surface to be cleaned 30c, of the scraper 25c may be made of a softer elastic material. It should be noted that in some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, the connecting assembly 24c may be omitted, and the scraper 25c is directly connected with the body 10c.
Further, in a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting assembly 24c includes a connecting plate and a soft rubber member. The connecting plate is connected with the body 10c. One end of the soft rubber member is connected with the connecting plate, the other end of the soft rubber member is connected with the scraper 25c, and the soft rubber member seals a gap between the connecting plate and the scraper 25c. The scraper 25c can float relative to the body 10c under an elastic force of the soft rubber member. Friction between the scraper 25c and the surface to be cleaned 30c can be adjusted through the elastic force of the soft rubber member, thereby reducing wear and prolonging the service life. Meanwhile, the sound of the friction between the scraper 25c and the surface to be cleaned 30c is also reduced, thereby effectively reducing the vibration frequency of the cleaning apparatus. In addition, the soft rubber member seals the gap between the connecting plate and the scraper 25c to prevent matter such as water from overflowing out of the gap between the connecting plate and the scraper 25c, avoid secondary contamination to the surface to be cleaned 30c and improve the cleaning efficiency.
In order to mount and dismount the scraper 25c conveniently, the scraper 25c may be detachably connected with the soft rubber member. For example, a first bump-notch structure is arranged on the scraper 25c, and a second bump-notch structure matched with the first bump-notch structure in use is arranged on the soft rubber member. The first bump-notch structure is meshed with the second bump-notch structure, so that the scraper 25c is detachably connected to the soft rubber member. Implementations and connection methods of the first bump-notch structure and the second bump-notch structure are relatively simple, the scraper 25c can be quickly connected to the soft rubber member, and meanwhile, after the first bump-notch structure is connected to the second bump-notch structure, the connection is firm and reliable, and detachment will not occur easily.
Much further, in order to enhance the connection strength between the first bump-notch structure and the second bump-notch structure, a bonding layer may be arranged between the first bump-notch structure and the second bump-notch structure, or the first bump-notch structure and the second bump-notch structure may be fixed again by glue, or the first bump-notch structure and the second bump-notch structure may be fixed by means of plastic mould wrapping. The connection strength between the first bump-notch structure and the second bump-notch structure is enhanced through the above methods, thereby preventing the first bump-notch structure from being separated from the second bump-notch structure.

In a possible implementation, with reference to
In another possible implementation, with reference to
In the above embodiments, no matter the scraper assembly 20c is arranged in front or behind the rolling brush assembly 12c, the scraper assembly 20c can be implemented by the connecting assembly 24c and the scraper 25c. A first storage groove 22c is formed in the scraper 25c. Matter such as sewage can enter the first storage groove 22c along a surface of the scraper 25c when moving on the surface of the scraper 25c, thereby preventing the matter such as sewage from falling onto the surface to be cleaned 30c.
If the scraper assembly 20c is arranged in front of the rolling brush assembly 12c, in order to further improve the suction efficiency of the suction port 11c, with reference to
Of course, if the scraper assembly 20c is arranged behind the rolling brush assembly 12c, the scraper assembly 20c may also include a sealing strip 26c. The sealing strip 26c is located in front of the suction port 11c, the sealing strip 26c and the scraper 25c form a suction space, and the suction port 11c is located in the suction space.
Further, in order to prevent matter such as sewage that remains in the suction pipeline from flowing along the suction port 11c to the surface to be cleaned 30c, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a second storage groove is formed on a surface, facing the suction port 11c, of the sealing strip 26c, and dirt can enter the second storage groove when moving from the sealing strip 26c to the surface to be cleaned 30c. The dirt that moves from the sealing strip 26c to the surface to be cleaned 30c can be stored in the second storage groove, thereby preventing the dirt from remaining on the surface to be cleaned 30c near the sealing strip 26c and improving the cleaning efficiency. Arrangements of the sealing strip 26c and the second storage groove can refer to the arrangements of the scraper 25c and the first storage groove 22c, which will not be described again here.
On the basis of Embodiment 8, Embodiment 9 of the present disclosure further provides a cleaning apparatus, which includes a machine body and a vacuum head. Implementations of the vacuum head of Embodiment 9 can refer to the implementations of the vacuum head of Embodiment 8. A specific solution is as follows:
with reference to
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scraper assembly 20c can quickly gather dirt, such as sewage, dust, and scraps of paper, on the surface to be cleaned 30c together, so that the vacuum head at work can clean the surface to be cleaned 30c more quickly to achieve higher cleanliness of the surface to be cleaned 30c. Meanwhile, the first storage groove 22c is formed in the scraper assembly 20c, and dirt that moves from the scraper assembly 20c to the surface to be cleaned 30c can be stored in the first storage groove 22c, thereby preventing the dirt from remaining on the surface to be cleaned 30c near the scraper assembly 20c and improving the cleaning efficiency.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaning apparatus includes but is not limited to a hand-held dust collector, an upright cleaner, etc. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the machine body of the cleaning apparatus includes but is not limited to machine bodies of a hand-held dust collector and an upright cleaner. In a possible implementation, the machine body includes a housing, a handle, a clear water bin, a collection bin, and components, such as a main electric motor, arranged in the housing.
For example, in a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the scraper assembly 20c has a matter guiding surface 21c for gathering dirt together, the first storage groove 22c is formed on the matter guiding surface 21c, and the suction port 11c is located in front of the matter guiding surface 21c. The first storage groove 22c may be formed on the matter guiding surface 21c or other parts of the scraper assembly 20c, for example, the first storage groove 22c is formed at a lower end of the scraper assembly 20c, or the first storage groove 22c is formed at an upper end of the scraper assembly 20c. One or more first storage grooves 22c may be formed, and if a plurality of first storage grooves 22c are formed, the plurality of first storage grooves 22c are all formed on the matter guiding surface 21c, or respectively formed on the matter guiding surface 21c, the lower end of the scraper assembly 20c, and the upper end of the scraper assembly 20c. Of course, other arrangements are also included and will not be described here. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the front and the rear are described relative to a traveling direction of the cleaning apparatus, which is indicated by the dotted arrow direction shown in
The scraper assembly 20c is elastic and can contact the ground by its own gravity and a supporting force of the body 10c of the vacuum head at normal work, so that the scraper assembly 20c can be attached to the ground well to gather dirt on the ground together. For example, sewage, dust, scraps of paper, etc., on the ground can be gathered together by the matter guiding surface 21c.
The cleaning apparatus can gather dirt to the suction port 11c through the scraper assembly 20c when moving, for example, along the dotted arrow direction shown in
After cleaning is finished, the dirt (including matter such as sewage) in the suction pipeline is not completely sucked into the collection bin in time, and the sewage remaining in the suction pipeline will flow out along the suction port 11c and flow down along the scraper assembly 20c. Because the first storage groove 22c is formed in the scraper assembly 20c, matter such as sewage directly enters the first storage groove 22c when flowing through the first storage groove 22c, thereby preventing the matter from falling onto the surface to be cleaned 30c.
Technical features of the vacuum head of Embodiment 9 can refer to the implementations of the vacuum head of Embodiment 8, and relevant technical features of Embodiment 9 can refer to the technical features of Embodiment 8, which will not be described again here.
On the basis of Embodiment 8 and Embodiment 9, Embodiment 10 of the present disclosure further provides a self-moving cleaning robot, which includes a machine body and a scraper assembly. Implementations of the scraper assembly of Embodiment 10 can refer to the implementations of the scraper assembly of Embodiment 8. A specific solution is as follows:
with reference to
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the scraper assembly 20c can quickly gather dirt, such as sewage, dust, and scraps of paper, on the surface to be cleaned 30c together, so that the self-moving cleaning robot at work can clean the surface to be cleaned 30c more quickly to achieve higher cleanliness of the surface to be cleaned 30c. Meanwhile, the first storage groove 22c is formed in the scraper assembly 20c, and dirt that moves from the scraper assembly 20c to the surface to be cleaned 30c can be stored in the first storage groove 22c, thereby preventing the dirt from remaining on the surface to be cleaned 30c near the scraper assembly 20c, and improving the cleaning efficiency.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the machine body of the self-moving cleaning robot refers to the implementations of the body 10c of the vacuum head, and the self-moving cleaning robot of Embodiment 10 may be one of the cleaning apparatus of Embodiment 9.
In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the machine body includes a base plate and an upper cover, where the upper cover is detachably arranged on the base plate to protect various functional components in the self-moving robot from being damaged by violent impact or inadvertent dripping of liquid when in use. The base plate is configured to bear and support various functional components such as a scraper assembly 20c, a suction mechanism, and a rolling brush assembly 12c.
A suction port 11c is formed at the bottom of the base plate, and a suction mechanism (not shown) is configured to produce negative pressure at work to suck dirt, including but not limited to sewage, dust, scraps of paper, hairs, etc., near the suction port 11c into a waste receiving cavity in the machine body.
A rolling brush assembly 12c is further arranged on the base plate and detachably mounted on the base plate in a transverse direction, and the transverse direction refers to a direction substantially perpendicular to a traveling direction of the self-moving robot. The self-moving robot collects dirt on the ground when moving forward for cleaning, and the collected waste is transferred into a collection apparatus by the suction mechanism. In order to suck the waste on the surface to be cleaned 30c more thoroughly, the suction port 11c is usually arranged behind or in front of the rolling brush assembly 12c, and accordingly, the scraper assembly 20c may be also arranged behind or in front of the rolling brush assembly 12c.
Technical features of the scraper assembly of Embodiment 10 can refer to the implementations of the scraper assembly of Embodiment 8, and relevant technical features of Embodiment 10 can refer to the technical features of Embodiment 8 and Embodiment 9, which will not be described again here.
The technical solutions adopted by the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios to facilitate understanding. The following application scenarios are described by taking a cleaner as an example.
Application Scenario VI
The scraper assembly is elastic and can contact the ground by its own gravity and a supporting force of the body of the vacuum head at normal work, so that the scraper assembly can be attached to the ground well to gather dirt on the ground together. For example, sewage, dust, scraps of paper, etc. on the ground can be gathered together.
The vacuum head can gather the dirt to the suction port through the scraper assembly when moving, and the suction port sucks the dirt into the cleaning apparatus via the suction channel, so that the surface to be cleaned is cleaned.
After cleaning is finished, the dirt (including matter such as sewage) in the suction pipeline is not completely sucked into the cleaning apparatus in time, and the dirt remaining in the suction pipeline will flow out along the suction port and flow down along the scraper assembly. Because the first storage groove is formed in the scraper assembly, the matter such as sewage directly enters the first storage groove when flowing through the first storage groove, thereby preventing the matter from flowing onto the surface to be cleaned.
Application Scenario VII
The scraper assembly is elastic and can contact a floor by its own gravity and a supporting force of the body of the vacuum head at normal work, so that the scraper assembly can be attached to the floor well to gather dirt on the ground together. For example, sewage, dust, scraps of paper, etc. on the ground can be gathered together.
The vacuum head can gather the dirt to the suction port through the scraper assembly when moving, and suction port sucks the dirt into the cleaning apparatus via the suction channel, so that the surface to be cleaned is cleaned. Because the thinning of the wall thickness of the first storage groove of the scraper assembly, i.e. the local thinning of the scraper assembly, increases the deformability of the scraper assembly, and the scraper assembly can deform more easily when in interference contact with the surface to be cleaned, thereby reducing a contact force between the scraper assembly and the surface to be cleaned, and reducing friction and noise. Meanwhile, the scraper assembly can float relative to the body under the action of the deformability of the scraper assembly when encountering an obstacle, so that the scraper assembly 20c can pass over the obstacle smoothly.
In addition to the vacuum head provided in the embodiments show in
In some embodiments, the vacuum head further includes running wheels (including a front wheel 10d1 and/or a rear wheel 10d2), which are supported on a surface to be cleaned together with the rolling brush 20d when the vacuum head contact the surface to be cleaned (e.g. the ground).
Specifically, the rolling brush 20d is connected in the housing 10d. The housing 10d and the rolling brush cover 40 can enclose a receiving cavity, and a plurality of vacuum head-related components may be arranged in the receiving cavity of the housing 10d. The rolling brush 20d is arranged in the receiving cavity and located at the front of the receiving cavity. The housing 10d may include a vacuum head base 11d and a vacuum head surface cover 12d, where the vacuum head surface cover 12d is configured to cover the vacuum head base 11d to form the above receiving cavity together with other components. The vacuum head base 11d may be detachably connected with the vacuum head surface cover 12d via a snap or a screw, so that the vacuum head base 11d can be detached from the vacuum head surface cover 12d conveniently, and the components in the receiving cavity can be maintained conveniently.
The rolling brush 20d may be connected to the housing 10d via a rotary shaft, and may be provided with rotational power by a power apparatus such as an electric motor, so that the rolling brush 20d is rotatably mounted in the receiving cavity. Of course, the power apparatus may be also arranged in the receiving cavity.
The rolling brush cover 40 is located above the rolling brush 20d. The rolling brush cover 40 may cover the rolling brush 20d in an arc shape, the rolling brush cover 40 may be detachably connected with the housing 10d, and the rolling brush 20d may be also detachably connected with the housing 10d. Preferably, the rolling brush cover 40 may be connected to the housing 10d via a snap, so that the rolling brush cover 40 can be quick detached from the housing 10d, and then the rolling brush 20d can be removed for cleaning.
In addition, the rolling brush cover 40 is preferably a transparent surface cover, so that users can observe the operation state of the rolling brush 20d when the cleaner works, and detect the malfunction of the rolling brush 20d in time.
According to the cleaner provided in the present embodiment, the ventilation hole is formed in the rolling brush cover of the vacuum head and allows outside air to contact the rolling brush, and therefore, the rolling brush can be dried quickly through a ventilation channel, peculiar smell of the rolling brush is dispelled conveniently, and the rolling brush is prevented from going moldy.
Further, the vacuum head further includes a separator and a dirt suction channel 30d, where the separator separates the ventilation hole 41d from the dirt suction channel 30d. The dirt suction channel 30d is configured to suck dirt on a surface to be cleaned. Specifically, the dirt suction channel 30d has a suction port, and dirt is rolled to the suction port by the rolling brush 20d, which facilitates suction of the dirt. The surface to be cleaned may refer to a surface, such as the ground, currently cleaned by the cleaner. The dirt suction channel 30d may be formed by a pipeline that may be an extensible soft pipeline. One end of the dirt suction channel 30d may face the surface to be cleaned, the other end of the dirt suction channel 30d may be connected with a collection bin, and a negative pressure source for supplying negative pressure, such as an airflow generator, may be further arranged on the dirt suction channel 30d. The airflow generator produces a relatively large suction force to suck dirt on the surface to be cleaned through one end of the dirt suction channel 30d into the collection bin at the other end. The dirt on the surface to be cleaned may refer to liquid dirt such as sewage, or solid dirt, which is not limited in the present embodiment. The separator separates the ventilation hole 41d from the dirt suction channel 30d, so that the ventilation hole 41d will not affect the negative pressure suction force of the dirt suction channel 30d, and the negative pressure suction force for sucking dirt is not affected when outside air contacts the rolling brush.
Further, the separator can extend to two ends of the rolling brush 20d along a direction parallel to an axial direction of the rolling brush 20d. Thus, the separator can completely separate the ventilation hole 41d from the dirt suction channel 30d to the greatest extent in a length direction of the rolling brush.
As shown in
Preferably, arrangement positions of the ventilation hole 41d include at least a top of the rolling brush cover 40, and thus the ventilation hole 41d located at the top of the rolling brush cover 40 and the opening 42d at the bottom of the front side of the rolling brush cover 40 can form a ventilation path as long as possible, which is conductive to drying and ventilation of the rolling brush 20d.
A plurality of ventilation holes 41d may be formed at the top of the rolling brush cover 40 and arranged in a straight line along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rolling brush 20d. Shapes and sizes of various ventilation holes 41d may be the same or different, which is not limited in the present embodiment. Distances from various ventilation holes 41d to the opening 42d at the bottom of the front side of the rolling brush cover 40 may be the same, and the shapes and sizes of various ventilation hole 41d may be the same, and therefore, the degree of ventilation and drying of the rolling brush 20d in the length direction is substantially the same as much as possible. It can be understood that the axial direction of the rolling brush 20d is parallel to the length direction.
Of course, in other embodiments, one or more ventilation holes may be formed at other positions on the rolling brush cover 40. It can be understood that the size of the ventilation hole 41d formed in the rolling brush cover 40 should not be excessively large, and if the size of the ventilation hole 41d formed in the rolling brush cover 40 is excessively large, splashed residual stains may be splashed out of the ventilation hole 41d formed in the rolling brush cover 40 when the rolling brush 20d rotates, thereby reducing the user experience.
Furthermore, on the other hand, the ventilation hole 41d is formed at the top of the rolling brush cover 40, and the residual stains splashed out when the rolling brush 20d rotates must overcome its own gravity to be splashed out of the ventilation hole 41d at the top of the rolling brush cover 40. Therefore, forming the ventilation hole 41d at the top of the rolling brush cover 40 can not only extend the ventilation path, ensure a ventilation effect, but also effectively prevent the stains on the rolling brushed 20d from being splashed out.
Therefore, the size and the position of the ventilation hole 41d may be designed in consideration of the above factors.
As shown in
It should be noted that the ventilation hole 41d is formed in the rolling brush cover 40, and the liquid spraying apparatus 60 is arranged in the housing 10d of the vacuum head, and the liquid spraying apparatus 60 may be located behind the rolling brush cover 40.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, an extending depth of the first scraper 70 into the rolling brush 20d may be greater than that of the second scraper 80 into the rolling brush 20d, so that an abutting force of the second scraper 80 against the rolling brush 20d is smaller than that of the first scraper 70 against the rolling brush 20d. Thus, the rolling brush 20d can scrape the sewage on the rolling brush 20d as much as possible through the first scraper 70, and scrape the cleaning liquid on the rolling brush 20d uniformly through the second scraper 80.
Preferably, in the operating state, the rolling brush rotates counterclockwise (as shown in
As a more preferred implementation, the abutting force between the first scraper 70 and/or the second scraper 80 and the rolling brush 20d is adjustable. Specifically, the abutting force can be adjusted by adjusting a mounting position of the first scraper 70 and/or the second scraper 80. For example, taking the first scraper 70 as an example, the first scraper 70 can be connected to the housing 10d via a fastener, a plurality of through holes for allowing the fastener to pass through are formed in the first scraper 70, and the fastener passes through different through holes to make the first scraper 70 closer to or farther from the rolling brush 20d, so that the abutting force between the first scraper 70 and the rolling brush 20d is adjustable. Of course, there are many methods to realize adjustable abutting force between the first scraper 70 and/or the second scraper 80 and the rolling brush 20d, which may be specifically designed by those skilled in the art and will described one by one in the present embodiment. Further, the first scraper 70 and/or the second scraper 80 extends from one end of the rolling brush 20d to the other end of the rolling brush 20d along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rolling brush 20d. The first scraper 70 extends from one end of the rolling brush 20d to the other end of the rolling brush 20d along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rolling brush 20d. During the rotation of the rolling brush 20d, various positions on an outer side surface of the rolling brush 20d can be in abutting contact with the first scraper 70, so that the first scraper 70 can scrape off sewage at various positions on the rolling brush 20d. The second scraper 80 extends from one end of the rolling brush 20d to the other end of the rolling brush 20d along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rolling brush 20d. During the rotation of the rolling brush 20d, various positions on the outer side surface of the rolling brush 20d can be in abutting contact with the second scraper 80, so that the degree of wetting of various positions on the rolling brush 20d is substantially the same.
On the other hand, at least one of the first scraper 70 and the second scraper 80 can extend along the length direction of the rolling brush 20d, so that the ventilation channel 50d can be separated from the dirt suction channel 30d by the first scraper 70 and/or the second scraper 80, and the ventilation channel 50d is not communicated with the dirt suction channel 30d. That is, the first scraper 70 and/or the second scraper 80 forms a separator to separate the ventilation hole 41d from the dirt suction channel 30d. Through the structural design for further separating the ventilation channel 50d from the dirt suction channel 30d, the formation of the ventilation hole 41 does not affect the size of negative pressure of the suction port. In addition, it should be noted that the structural design for separating the ventilation channel 50d from the dirt suction channel 30d may be something else. For example, a baffle for separating the ventilation channel 50d from the dirt suction channel 30d is arranged in the housing 10d, the baffle may be infinitely close to but not in contact with the outer side surface of the rolling brush 20d, and thus the ventilation channel 50d is not communicated with the dirt suction channel 30d. Of course, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
On the basis of the above embodiments, further, in a height direction of the vacuum head, the first scraper 70 and the second scraper 80 are both located between the ventilation hole 41d and the dirt suction channel 30d. Thus, the ventilation channel 50d cannot be communicated with the dirt suction channel 30d due to the double assurance of the first scraper 70 and the second scraper 80. The first scraper 70 and/or the second scraper 80 extend along a radial direction of the rolling brush 20d to abut against the surface of the rolling brush 20d. Thus, the scraper is in positive contact with the rolling brush 20d, and a force of the scraper can better act on the rolling brush 20d.
Preferably, as shown in

When the side buffers 300 are arranged on the outer surfaces of the side covers 40b, the front buffer 90 and the side buffers 300 are of an integrated structure. The front buffer 90 and the side buffers 300 may be of an integrated structure, as shown in

The housing 10d may include a vacuum head base 11d and a vacuum head surface cover 12d, where the vacuum head surface cover 12d is configured to cover the vacuum head base 11d to form the above receiving cavity together with other elements.

The rolling brush cover 40 may cover the rolling brush 20d in an arc shape, the rolling brush cover 40 may be detachably connected with the housing 10d, and the rolling brush 20d may be also detachably connected with the housing 10d. Preferably, the rolling brush cover 40 may be connected to the housing 10d via a snap, so that the rolling brush cover 40 can be detached from the housing 10d quickly, and then the rolling brush 20d can be removed for cleaning.
In addition, the rolling brush cover 40 is preferably a transparent surface cover, so that users can observe the operating state of the rolling brush 20d when the cleaner works, and detect the malfunction of the rolling brush 20d in time.
According to the vacuum head provided in the present embodiment, the ventilation hole is formed in the rolling brush cover and allows outside air to contact the rolling brush, and therefore, the rolling brush can be dried quickly through a ventilation channel, peculiar smell of the rolling brush is dispelled conveniently, and the rolling brush is prevented from going moldy.
Further, the vacuum head further includes a separator and a dirt suction channel 30d, where the separator separates the ventilation hole 41d from the dirt suction channel 30d. The dirt suction channel 30d is configured to suck dirt on a surface to be cleaned. Specifically, the dirt suction channel 30d has a suction port, the dirt is rolled to the suction port by the rolling brush, which facilitates suction of the dirt. The surface to be cleaned may refer to a surface, such as the ground, currently cleaned by the cleaner. The dirt suction channel 30d may be formed by a pipeline. One end of the dirt suction channel 30d may face the surface to be cleaned, the other end of the dirt suction channel 30d may be connected with the collection bin, and a negative pressure source for supplying negative pressure, such as an air pump, may be further arranged on the dirt suction channel 30d. The air pump produces a relatively large suction force to suck dirt on the surface to be cleaned through one end of the dirt suction channel 30d to the collection bin at the other end. The dirt on the surface to be cleaned may refer to liquid dirt such as sewage, or solid dirt, which is not limited in the present embodiment. The separator separates the ventilation hole 41d from the dirt suction channel 30d, so that the ventilation hole 41d does not affect the negative pressure suction force of the dirt suction channel 30d, and the negative pressure suction force for sucking dirt is not affected when outside air contacts the rolling brush.
Much further, the separator can extend to two ends of the rolling brush 20d along a direction parallel to an axial direction of the rolling brush 20d. Thus, the separator can completely separate the ventilation hole 41d from the dirt suction channel 30d to the greatest extent in a length direction of the rolling brush.
As shown in
Preferably, arrangement positions of the ventilation hole 41d include at least a top of the rolling brush cover 40, and thus the ventilation hole 41d located at the top of the rolling brush cover 40 and the opening 42d at the bottom of the front side of the rolling brush cover 40 can form a ventilation path as long as possible, which is more conducive to the ventilation and drying of the rolling brush 20d.
A plurality of ventilation holes 41d may be formed at the top of the rolling brush cover 40 and arranged in a straight line along a direction parallel to the axial direction of the rolling brush 20d. Shapes and sizes of various ventilation holes 41d may be the same or different, which is not limited in the present embodiment. Distances from various ventilation holes 41d to the opening 42d at the bottom of the front side of the rolling brush cover 40 may be the same, and the shapes and sizes of various ventilation hole 41d may be the same, so that the degree of ventilation and drying of the rolling brush 20d in the length direction is substantially the same to the greatest extent. It can be understood that the axial direction of the rolling brush 20d is parallel to the length direction.
Of course, in other embodiments, one or more ventilation holes may be formed at other positions on the rolling brush cover 40. It can be understood that the size of the ventilation hole 41d formed in the rolling brush cover 40 should not be excessively large, and if the size of the ventilation hole 41d formed in the rolling brush cover 40 is excessively large, splashed residual stains may be splashed out of the ventilation hole 41d of the rolling brush cover 40 when the brush 20d rotates, thereby reducing the user experience.
Furthermore, on the other hand, the ventilation hole 41d is formed at the top of the rolling brush cover 40, and the residual stains splashed out when the rolling brush 20d rotates must overcome its own gravity to be splashed out of the ventilation hole 41d at the top of the rolling brush cover 40. Therefore, forming the ventilation hole 41d at the top of the rolling brush cover 40 can not only extend the ventilation path, ensure a ventilation effect, but also effectively prevent the stains on the rolling brush 20d from being splashed out.
Therefore, the size and the position of the ventilation hole 41d may be designed in consideration of the above factors.
As shown in
It should be noted that other structures and functions of the vacuum head in the cleaner in the present embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 11d, and the description of Embodiment 11d may be referred to in detail, which will not be described again here.
The vacuum head and the cleaner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in conjunction with specific application scenarios.
Application Scenario VIII
A user uses the cleaner to clean the ground, and after finishing the work, the user can place the vacuum head of the cleaner on the ground or a tray. The ventilation hole in the rolling brush cover of the vacuum head and the opening at the bottom of the vacuum head form a natural ventilation channel, so that outside air can contact the rolling brush to naturally dry the rolling brush, peculiar smell of the rolling brush is dispelled conveniently, and the rolling brush is prevented from going moldy.
Application Scenario IX
When a user uses the cleaner to clean the ground, the vacuum head of the cleaner moves forward, the rolling brush rolls to clean the ground, and the dirt suction channel continuously sucks dirt on the ground. Because the ventilation hole is separated from the dirt suction channel, the formation of the ventilation hole does not affect the size of the negative pressure of the suction port, and the normal performance of the vacuum head is not affected.
In practical applications, after the cleaner finishes the cleaning work, the rolling brush usually becomes dirty and needs to be cleaned for the next cleaning work, and after the rolling brush is cleaned, liquid remains on the rolling brush. In order to prevent the liquid from flowing onto a clean surface such as the ground, the cleaner is usually equipped with a tray. The cleaner can be stored on the tray, and the liquid on the rolling brush may flows into the tray. When the tray is matched with the cleaner in use, the sewage on the rolling brush flows into the tray and scatters on a surface of the tray irregularly, so the user needs to clean the tray later, which increases the workload of the user.
In view of the above problems, the present disclosure provides a cleaning tray and a cleaner assembly. The cleaning tray allows sewage to flow only in a water collection groove through a water blocking rib, thereby preventing the sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray due to the suction function of the cleaner.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cleaning tray, which includes a tray body 10e and a water blocking rib 20e. The tray body 10e has an accommodation groove which has a bearing platform 30e and a water collection groove 44e. The water blocking rib 20e is arranged at the bottom of the accommodation groove to separate the bearing platform 30e from the water collection groove 44e.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaning tray can be matched with the cleaner 50e in use, the bearing platform 30e is configured to bear the cleaner 50e, and the water collection groove 44e is configured to collect sewage on the cleaner 50e. Meanwhile, the cleaning tray can effectively prevent water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e through the water blocking rib 20e, and the sewage flows only in the water collection groove 44e, thereby preventing the sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray due to the cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner 50e.
Further, with continuous reference to
Further, with reference to
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when matched with the cleaner 50e in use, the cleaning tray not only charge and store the cleaner 50e, bus also assists in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e at the same time. For example, the cleaning tray can charge the cleaner 50e through a charging pile 11e on the tray body 10e, and store the cleaner 50e through the accommodation groove on the tray body 10e. The bearing platform 30e supports the cleaner 50e, and the water collection groove 44e and a housing of the cleaner 50e form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush 52e, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush 52e. The cleaner 50e is placed in the cleaning tray, and the rolling brush 52e can be cleaned through the rinsing channel. Meanwhile, the water blocking rib 20e can effectively prevent water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e, and the water for self-cleaning flows only in the water collection groove 44e, thereby preventing sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray by the cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner 50e.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaning tray may be used as a separate component or, as shown in
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaner 50e includes but is not limited to the cleaner 50e shown in
Taking the cleaner 50e shown in
Specifically, the water spraying assembly sprays water through the water spray orifices 54e to wet the rolling brush 52e, and a surface to be cleaned below the rolling brush 52e is cleaned with the rolling of the rolling brush 52e. As the cleaner 50e moves forward, sewage produced after the rolling brush 52e brushes the surface to be cleaned reaches the rear of the rolling brush 52e, is sucked by the suction port 53e of the suction assembly, and is stored in a sewage tank or discharged to a sewer.
As the cycle is repeated, the cleaner 50e cleans the surface to be cleaned when moving forward. After the surface to be cleaned is cleaned, the cleaner 50e can be placed in the cleaning tray provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and stored in and charged by the cleaning tray. Furthermore, the cleaning tray provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can assist in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e. The cleaner 50e is placed in the cleaning tray, and the water collection groove 44e and the housing 51e of the cleaner 50e form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e. The cleaner 50e is placed on the bearing platform, and the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e is suspended in the water collection groove 44e. When the self-cleaning mode of the cleaned 50e is enabled, the water spraying assembly in the cleaner 50e starts to spray water through the water spray orifices 54e to wet the rolling brush 52e. As the rolling brush 52e rolls, water in the water collection groove 44e is increased, and at this time, the water in the water collection groove 44e contacts the rolling brush 52e and cleans the rolling brush 52e with the rotation of the rolling brush 52e. Meanwhile, the water blocking rib 20e can effectively prevent the water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e, and the water for self-cleaning flows only in the water collection groove 44e, thereby preventing sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray by the cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner 50e.
When performing self-cleaning on the rolling brush 52e, the cleaner 50e may spray clean water or water containing a cleaning solution to the rolling brush 52e through the water spraying assembly to clean the rolling brush 52e. One self-cleaning mode is that the water spraying assembly sprays water, and the rolling brush 52e rolls at the same time, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush 52e by right of the rinsing channel. Meanwhile, the suction assembly sucks water through the suction port 53e to suck sewage from cleaning the rolling brush 52e, that is, the water spraying assembly, the rolling brush 52e, and the suction assembly operates at the same time. Another self-cleaning mode is that the water spraying assembly sprays water, and the rolling brush 52e rolls at the same time, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush 52e by right of the rinsing channel. At this time, the suction assembly does not suck water, and sucks sewage through the suction port 53e of the suction assembly after the rolling brush 52e is cleaned, that is, the water spraying assembly and the rolling brush 52e operate first, and then the suction assembly operates after the rolling brush 52e is cleaned. Or, the above two self-cleaning modes are operated alternately to clean the rolling brush 52e. Of course, other self-cleaning modes may also be included, which are not limited herein.
In actual use of the cleaner 50e, the bottom of the cleaner 50e is inevitably contaminated with sewage. If the bottom housing of the cleaner 50e is contaminated with sewage, when the cleaner 50e is placed in the cleaning tray, the bearing platform 30e supports the bottom housing, and the sewage on the bottom housing flows onto the bearing platform 30e. In order to enable the sewage on the bearing platform 30e to flow into the water collection groove 44e conveniently, with reference to
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a side, facing the water collection groove 44e, of the tray body 10e may be defined as the front of the tray body 10e, and a side, facing the bearing platform 30e, of the tray body 10e may be defined as the rear of the tray body 10e. Relative to the plane on which the tray body 10e is placed, an entire surface of the side, facing away from the plane, of the tray body 10e is substantially lower in the front and higher in the rear, a height difference is formed, and with this structure, water remaining on the tray body 10e is guided into the water collection groove 44e that accommodates the rolling brush 52e and is located at the front, that is, all of the water remaining on the tray body 10e is guided to a lower surface. Even if water in the water collection groove 44e or other areas flows into the bearing platform 30e, because a falling slope is formed between the bearing platform 30e and the water collection groove 44e, water in the bearing platform 30e flows to the water collection groove 44e.
In order to prevent sewage from remaining on the bearing platform 30e, with continuous reference to
Further, in order to enable the sewage on the bearing platform 30e to flow into the water collection groove 44e more smoothly, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a flow guiding surface is arranged at a side, facing to the bearing platform 30e, of the water blocking rib 20e and configured to guide a liquid from the water blocking rib 20e to the gap 21e. Implementations of the flow guiding surface include but are not limited to the following way that if two gaps 21e are formed, the side, facing the bearing platform 30e, of the water blocking rib 20e is an arc-shaped surface, and a side, facing the bearing platform 30e, of the arc-shaped surface is convex. Or, the flow guiding surface and the water blocking rib 20e form a triangular structure, and the water blocking rib 20e is the bottom edge of the triangular structure. If one gap 21e is formed, the water blocking rib 20e is of an inclined structure, and from an end without the gap 21e to an end with the gap 21e, the water blocking rib 20e gradually inclines towards a side of the water collection groove 44e, so that the liquid on the water blocking rib 20e is guided to the gap 21e from the water blocking rib 20e.
In actual use of the cleaner 50e, the bottom of the cleaner 50e is usually provided with rollers for facilitating the movement of the cleaner 50e. In order to prevent the cleaner 50e from moving in the cleaning tray, with reference to
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to prevent the sewage produced from cleaning the rolling brush 52e from being splashed out of the water collection groove 44e, with reference to
The cleaner 50e is placed in the cleaning tray, and the water collection groove 44e and the housing 51e of the cleaner 50e form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush 52e. When the water spraying assembly sprays water through the water spray orifices 54e, as the rolling brush 52e rolls, the water flows around the rolling brush 52e along the rinsing channel to rinse the rolling brush 52e, and the high-speed rinsing of the water can effectively remove dirt on the rolling brush 52e, so as to efficiently clean the rolling brush 52e at a high speed. When rinsing the rolling brush 52e, sewage gradually flows into the water collection groove 44e, because the wall of the accommodation groove is close proximity to the housing 51e of the cleaner 50e, the sewage is not splashed out of the water collection groove 44, and the water blocking rib 20e prevents the water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e. Then, the sewage in the water collection groove 44e is sucked by the suction assembly, thereby forming a complete cleaning process.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water collection groove 44e may be implemented in a variety of ways, and with reference to
A falling surface can be formed in the water collection groove 44e by the first water collection plate 41e and the second water collection plate 42e, water can be guided to the lowest point of the water collection groove 44e through the falling surface, and the lowest point of the water collection groove 44e corresponds to the bottom of the rolling brush 52e. After the water is guided to the lowest point by the water collection groove 44e, and the rolling brush 52 is cleaned by the self-cleaning function of the rolling brush 52e, all of the sewage can be collected in the water collection groove 44e, so that all of the sewage can be sucked away, and no water remains in the water collection groove 44e.
For example, as shown in
Further, if the first water collection plate 41e and the second water collection plate 42e are both of a straight plate structure, a water storage angle may be formed between the two straight plate structures, and water flow impacts the water storage angle and forms a tiny vortex in the water storage angle, resulting in sewage residue in the water storage angle. In order to prevent water from remaining between the two straight plate structures, with reference to
Water on the second water collection plate 42e can be smoothly transited to the first water collection plate 41e through the third water collection plate 43e, and sucked by the suction port 53e of the suction assembly at the same time. No water storage angle is formed between the first water collection plate 41e and the second water collection plate 42e, so that no sewage remains in the water collection groove 44e. The bottom of the water collection groove 44e is formed by the first water collection plate 41e of a straight plate structure, the third water collection plate 43e of an arc-shaped structure, and the second water collection plate 42e of a straight plate structure, the first water collection plate 41e and the second water collection plate 42e at two sides facilitate collecting sewage in the water collection groove 44e, the third water collection plate 43e is smoothly transited to the first water collection plate 41e from the middle of the bottom to the water blocking rib 20e, and the slope of the first water collection plate 42e is fixed and relatively smooth, which facilitates sucking the water in the water collection groove 44e, and avoids water residue.
In summary, compared with the prior art, according to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, on the one hand, the cleaning tray can be matched with the cleaner 50e in use, the bearing platform 30e is configured to bear the cleaner 50e, and the water collection groove 44e is configured to collect sewage on the cleaner 50e. Meanwhile, the cleaning tray can effectively prevent water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e through the water blocking rib 20e, and the sewage flows only in the water collection groove 44e, thereby preventing the sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray by cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner 50e.
On the other hand, the cleaning tray can not only charge and store the cleaner 50e, but also assists in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e at the same time. For example, the cleaning tray can charge the cleaner 50e through a charging pile 11e on the tray body 10e, and store the cleaner 50e through the accommodation groove on the tray body 10e. The bearing platform 30e supports the cleaner 50e, and the water collection groove 44e and the housing 51e of the cleaner 50e form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush 52e, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush 52e. The cleaner 50e is placed in the cleaning tray, and the rolling brush 52e is cleaned through the rinsing channel.
On the basis of Embodiment 13, Embodiment 14 of the present disclosure provides a cleaner assembly, which includes a cleaner 50e and a cleaning tray, where the cleaning tray may be the cleaning tray of Embodiment 13. A specific solution is as follows:
with reference to
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cleaning tray can be matched with the cleaner 50e in use, the bearing platform 30e is configured to bear the cleaner 50e, and the water collection groove 44e is configured to collect sewage on the cleaner 50e. Meanwhile, the cleaning tray can effectively prevent water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e through the water blocking rib 20e, and the sewage flows only in the water collection groove 44e, thereby preventing the sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray by cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner 50e.
Further, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the position of the water collection groove 44e is adopted to the position of the rolling brush 52e.

When the cleaning tray is matched with the cleaner 50e in use, the cleaner 50e is placed on the bearing platform, and the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e is suspended in the water collection groove 44e. When a self-cleaning mode of the cleaner 50e is enabled, a water spraying assembly in the cleaner 50e starts to spray water, water in the water collection groove 44e of the cleaning tray is increased, and at this time, the water in the water collection groove 44e contacts the rolling brush 52e and cleans the rolling brush 52e with the rotation of the rolling brush 52e.
According to the technical solutions provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the cleaner 50e is matched with the cleaning tray in use, the cleaning tray can not only charge and store the cleaner 50e, but also assist in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e at the same time. For example, the cleaning tray can charge the cleaner 50e through a charging pile 11e on the tray body 10e, and store the cleaner 50e through the accommodation groove on the tray body 10e. The bearing platform 30e supports the cleaner 50e, and the water collection groove 44e and the housing 51e form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush 52e, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e. The cleaner 50e is placed in the cleaning tray, and the rolling brush 52e can be cleaned through the rising channel. Meanwhile, the water blocking rib 20e can effectively prevent water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e, and the water for self-cleaning flows only in the water collection groove 44e, thereby preventing sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray by cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner 50e.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, not all components but only the vacuum head apparatus and part of the housing of the cleaner 50e are shown in
Further, with reference to
Specifically, the water spraying assembly sprays water through the water spray orifices 54e to wet the rolling brush 52e, and a surface to be cleaned below the rolling brush 52e is cleaned with the rolling of the rolling brush 52e. As the cleaner 50e move forward, sewage produced after the rolling brush 52e brushes the surface to be cleaned reaches the rear of the rolling brush 52e, is sucked by the suction port 53e of the suction assembly, and is stored in a sewage tank or discharged to a sewer.
As the cycle is repeated, the cleaner 50e cleans the ground when moving forward.
After the surface to be cleaned is cleaned, the cleaner 50e can be placed in the cleaning tray provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and is stored in and charged by the cleaning tray. Furthermore, the cleaning tray provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can assist in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e. The cleaner 50e is placed in the cleaning tray, the rolling brush 52e is suspended in the water collection groove 44e, and the water collection groove 44e and the housing 51e form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush 52e, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e. The cleaner 50e is placed on the bearing platform, and the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e is suspended in the water collection groove 44e. When the self-cleaning mode of the cleaner 50e is enabled, the water spraying assembly in the cleaner 50e starts to spray water through the water spray orifices 54e to wet the rolling brush 52e. As the rolling brush 52e rolls, water in the water collection groove 44e is increased, and at this time, the water in the water collection groove 44e contacts the rolling brush 52e and cleans the rolling brush 52e with the rotation of the rolling brush 52e. Meanwhile, the water blocking rib 20e can effectively prevent the water in the water collection groove 44e from flowing into the bearing platform 30e, and the water for self-cleaning flows only in the water collection groove 44e, thereby preventing sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, when the rolling brush 52e is accommodated in a water collection area, the suction port 53e is located in the water collection groove 44, so that no water remains in the cleaning tray by cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner 50e.
With reference to
It should be noted that technical features of the cleaning tray of Embodiment 14 can refer to the implementations of the cleaning tray of Embodiment 13, and relevant technical features of Embodiment 14 can refer to the technical features of Embodiment 13, which will not be described again here.
The technical solutions adopted by the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios to facilitate understanding. The following application scenarios are described by taking a cleaner as an example.
Application Scenario X
After the ground is cleaned, the cleaner can be placed in the cleaning tray, and is stored in and charged by the cleaning tray.
Meanwhile, the water collection groove and the housing of the cleaner form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush of the cleaner. The cleaner 50e is placed on the bearing platform, and the rolling brush 52e of the cleaner 50e is suspended in the water collection groove 44e. When the self-cleaning mode of the cleaner 50e is enabled, the water spraying assembly in the cleaner 50e starts to spray water through the water spray orifices 54e to wet the rolling brush 52e. As the rolling brush 52e rolls, water in the water collection groove 44e is increased, and at this time, the water in the water collection groove 44e contacts the rolling brush 52e and cleans the rolling brush 52e with the rotation of the rolling brush 52e. Meanwhile, the water blocking rib can effectively prevent the water in the water collection groove from flowing into the bearing platform, and the water for self-cleaning flows only in the water collection groove, thereby preventing sewage from contaminating other areas of the cleaning tray. In addition, no water remains in the cleaning tray by cooperation of the cleaning tray and the suction function of the cleaner.
Application Scenario XI
After finishing the cleaning work, the cleaner is placed in the cleaning tray, and water on the cleaner flows to the bearing platform and the water collection groove of the cleaning tray.
Relative to the ground on which the tray body is placed, an entire surface of a side, facing away from the ground, of the tray body is substantially lower in the front and higher in the rear, a height difference is formed, and with this structure, water remaining on the tray body is guided into the water collection groove located at the front. Even if water in the water collection groove or other areas flows into the bearing platform, because a falling slope is formed between the bearing platform and the water collection groove, water in the bearing platform flows into the water collection groove via a gap.
Application Scenario XII
The water collection groove and the housing of the cleaner form a rinsing channel through which water flows along the outer side surface of the rolling brush, thereby assisting in cleaning the rolling brush of the cleaner. The water is guided to the bottom of the rolling brush through a falling surface between a first water collection plate and a second water collection plate. The suction assembly can suck the water in the water collection groove through the suction port to suck the water in the water collection groove completely.
The first water collection plate, close to the suction port, of the water collection groove is of a straight plate structure, and the slope of the first water collection plate is fixed and relatively smooth, which facilitates sucking the water in the water collection groove, and avoids water residue.
Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely used to describe the technical solutions of the present disclosure but not intended to limit the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary in the art will appreciate that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments can still be modified or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents.
