[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 46, one embodiment of the present application discloses
cleaning equipment. The cleaning equipment includes a main body, a wastewater tank
1100, a first fluid channel, a negative pressure source
1500, and a water supply tank
1200. The main body includes a machine body
1000 and a base
2000. An accommodation cavity
2300 is defined by the base
2000. A roller brush is rotationally configured through a driver in the accommodation cavity
2300.The wastewater tank
1100 is configured on the main body.
[0029] A fluid inlet
1110 and a fluid outlet
1120 are provided with the wastewater tank
1100. The fluid inlet
1110 connects through the accommodation cavity
2300, and an inner wall of the wastewater tank
1100 is arc-shaped or its cross section is formed as a ring shape. At least one inlet
blocker
1130 is provided at the inlet of the wastewater tank
1100 to divide an air stream flowing to the wastewater tank
1100 into multiple air streams and to make the multiple air streams collide in the wastewater
tank
1100.
[0030] The first fluid channel is respectively connected with the accommodation cavity
2300 and the wastewater tank
1100, and the negative pressure source
1500 is configured on the main machine. The negative pressure source
1500 generates negative pressure to make the dirt on the surface be cleaned to enter the
wastewater tank
1100 through the accommodation cavity
2300 and the first fluid channel in sequence. The first fluid channel is able to play
the role of wastewater intake, which is equivalent to the wastewater intake pipeline.
The water supply tank
1200 is assembled on the main body, and the water supply tank
1200 is sequentially connected with a suction source
1300 and a water divider
1400 through a water outlet. The water divider
1400 includes a first distribution channel
1410 connected to the roller brush and/or a second distribution channel
1420 for leading fluid streams outwards from the main body.
[0031] The fluid inlet
1110 is selectively provided at the top portion or the side portion of the wastewater
tank
1100, which will determine whether the airflow of the accommodation cavity
2300 enters the inner cavity of the wastewater tank
1100 from the top portion of the wastewater tank
1100 or enters the inner cavity of the wastewater tank
1100 from the side portion. The wastewater tank
1100 can include a wastewater tank body and a wastewater tank cover, and both the fluid
inlet
1110 and the fluid outlet
1120 can be arranged on the wastewater tank cover. Therefore, when the fluid inlet
1110 is located on the top of the wastewatertank
1100, the fluid inlet
1110 can be directly installed on the upper surface of the wastewater tank cover of the
top portion of the wastewater tank
1100.In addition, when the fluid inlet
1110 is located at the side of the wastewater tank
1100, the fluid inlet
1110 can also be arranged on the side surface of the wastewatertank cover on the top portion
of the wastewater tank
1100, or the fluid inlet
1110 can also be arranged on the side surface of the wastewatertank body.The wastewater
tank
1100 can be provided with a wastewater tank handle, and the fluid inlet
1110 can be located on the side of the wastewater tank
1100, so the wastewater tank handle and the fluid inlet
1110 can be respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the wastewater tank
1100.
[0032] The negative pressure source
1500 has an air-dividing structure
1600, and the air-dividing structure
1600 has an air-dividing inlet
1610 and at least two air-dividing outlets
1620. The air-dividing inlet
1610 communicates with the fluid outlet
1120, and the fluid outlet
1120 is provided with a filter assembly
1630. The filter assembly
1630 is located between the fluid outlet
1120 and the air-dividing inlet
1610, and the at least two air-dividing outlets
1620 connect through the outer environment.The air-dividing structure
1600 can be formed on the basis of the negative pressure source
1500 or can be a structure that is independent of the negative pressure source
1500 and assembled opposite to the negative pressure source
1500. In one embodiment, the air-dividing structure
1600 includes an air-dividing shell configured on the negative pressure source
1500.The air-dividing inlet
1610 is provided at the bottom of the air-dividing shell, and the air-dividing outlets
1620 areprovided at two side portions of the air-dividing shell. The two air-dividing
outlets
1620 are symmetrically located on both sides of the air-dividing shell.Moreover, the negative
pressure source
1500 is located above the accommodation cavity
2300, and the air-dividing structure
1600 is located at the bottom of the negative pressure source
1500. The fluid outlet
1120 is provided at the top of the wastewater tank
1100, and the air-dividing inlet
1610 is in longitudinal connection with the fluid outlet
1120.
[0033] The accommodation cavity
2300 can be connected with the fluid inlet
1110 of the wastewater tank
1100 through a channel formed by itself on the main body or a separately provided channel.
Under the action of the negative pressure source
1500, after the air flows from the accommodation cavity to the fluid inlet
1110 of the wastewater tank
1100, the aircan enter the wastewater tank
1100 from the fluid inlet
1110 at the top or the side of the wastewater tank
1100.After the wastewater is separated and precipitated, under the suction of the negative
pressure source
1500, the air can flow out from the fluid outlet
1120 of the wastewater tank
1100, wherein, the fluid outlet
1120 may be provided with the filter assembly
1630. The filter assembly
1630 is located between the fluid outlet
1120 and the air-dividing inlet
1610, so that the air can flow out after being filtered by the filter assembly
1630.
[0034] The air flowing out from the fluid outlet
1120 will enter into the air-dividing structure
1600 on the negative pressure source
1500 based on the connection between the air-dividing inlet
1610 and the fluid outlet
1120. The air-dividing structure
1600 is configured to divide the air inhaled by the negative pressure source
1500 into two bundles, the left bundle and the right bundle(as shown by the arrows in
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the arrows point to the flow trace of the airflow). The air of
the left bundle and the right bundle flows out through the two air-dividing outlets
1620 of the air-dividing structure
1600 respectively, so as to flow out of the main body. The directions of the two air-dividing
outlets
1620 are different and may be opposite directions or directions having a certain angle,
as long as the directions are different.In one embodiment, there may be a flow gap
1140 between the outer wall of the wastewater tank
1100 and the inner wall of the accommodation cavity
2300. At this time, both the two air-dividing outlets
1620 of the air-dividing structure
1600 can be connected with the upper portion of the flow gap
1140.Therefore, referring to FIG. 2, the air flowing out from the two air-dividing outlets
1620 of the air-dividing structure
1600 will flow along the flow gap
1140 and then flowto the outside environment. In particular, both of the two air-dividing
outlets
1620 connect with the upper portion of the flow gap
1140. This allows the air to flow longitudinally along the flow gap
1140 after flowing out from the two air-dividing outlets
1620, from the top to the bottom of the main body, and finally flows out from the bottom
of the main body.Because the wastewater tank
1100 is installed in front of the main body, the air is discharged from the front of the
main body. The user stands behind the main body to operate it, so the outgoing wind
will not blow directly to the user, which increases the user experience as well. Moreover,
the air-dividing structure
1600 can change the airflow from one bundle to two bundles, which avoids the problem of
noise caused by excessive concentration of the outlet air and is more conducive to
the noise reduction of the product. It should be noted that the outlets of the air-dividing
structure
1600 may be set in multiples according to requirements, such as three, four, five, six,
etc.
[0035] In one embodiment, an inlet blocker
1130 is provided at the fluid inlet
1110 of the wastewater tank
1100. The inlet blocker
1130 can be configured on the cover of the wastewater tank
1100 or on the body of the wastewater tank
1100, and the inlet blocker
1130 is configured horizontally or vertically in the inner cavity of the wastewater tank
1100. The inlet blocker
1130 shields the fluid inlet
1110 to a certain extent, so that the air entering the wastewater tank
1100 can form two or more air streams in different directions after passing through the
inlet blocker
1130, or the direction of the air streams can be changed by the inlet blocker
1130. If the airflow has only one direction during the process of entering the wastewater
tank
1100 through the fluid inlet
1110, the airflow and water droplets(flow) cannot be easily separated inside the wastewater
tank
1100. Under above condition, the airflow and water droplets(flow) are easy to simultaneously
discharge from the fluid outlet
1120 of the wastewater tank
1100 under the suction of the negative pressure source
1500 at the same time. Therefore, the inlet blocker
1130 in the wastewater tank
1100 is used to stop the incoming airflow at first and then make the airflow enter the
bottom of the wastewater tank
1100.
[0036] The inlet blocker
1130 can adopt to any structural form to cooperate with the inner wall of the wastewater
tank
1100, thereby forming an inlet drainage channel
1131 for airflow. In addition, the inlet blocker
1130 can also be formed to cooperate with the location (for example, top or side) of the
fluid inlet
1110 on the wastewater tank
1100 in order to make the inlet blocker
1130 play a role in blocking the airflow when the airflow enters the wastewater tank
1100 through the fluid inlet
1110. Moreover, to what extent or direction the inlet blocker
1130 blocks the airflow. For example, the inlet blocker
1130 can be laterally configured in the inner cavity of the wastewater tank
1100. At this time, an inlet drainage channel
1131 is formed between the inlet blocker
1130 and the inner wall of one side of the wastewater tank
1100, and the airflow can enter the interior of the wastewater tank
1100 only through one inlet drainage channel
1131. Alternatively, the inlet blocker
1130 may be longitudinally configured in the inner cavity of the wastewatertank
1100. At this time, two inlet drainage channels
1131 in opposite directions are formed between the inlet blocker
1130 and the inner walls on opposite sides of the wastewater tank
1100. In view of theabove, the airflow can pass through the inlet blocker
1130 into two symmetrical bundles and enter the interior of the wastewater tank
1100. Besides, those skilled in the art can also set the position of the inlet blocker
1130 according to actual requirements, which is not limited here.
[0037] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the wastewater tank
1100 is an arc-shaped inner wall surface, such as a circular inner wall surface, or the
cross-section of the inner wall of the wastewater tank
1100 is annular. The air stream of the accommodation cavity flows to the wastewater tank
1100 and, after entering through the fluid inlet
1110 of the wastewater tank
1100, whenthe inner wall of the wastewater tank
1100 is an arc-shaped inner wall or the cross-section of the inner wall is annular, the
two or more streams divided by the inlet blocker
1130 can move along the circular or annular inner wall of the wastewater tank
1100, then the inlet blocker
1130makes the multiple air streams collide in the wastewater tank
1100 so as to avoid the air continuing to fall and mix with the wastewater and waste to
stir up the wastewater and waste. In view of theabove, this can effectively prevent
the wastewater and waste in the wastewater tank
1100 from being sucked into the negative pressure source
1500, and not only can it avoid damage to the negative pressure source
1500 but also prevent wastewater and waste from being blown to the outside of the cleaning
equipment so that the space utilization rate of the wastewater tank
1100 is increased. If the inner wall of the wastewater tank
1100 is not annular or circular, but other shapes, the collision of two or more air streams
divided by the inlet blocker
1130 will be reduced, and the deposition of dirt cannot be achieved after the air streams
enter the wastewater tank
1100. Thisis because, if the inner wall of the wastewater tank
1100 is not circular or annular, the direction of the airstream after entering will be
chaotic, so that the direction and angle of the airstreams in the wastewater tank
1100 are difficult to cause the airstreams to form a hedging collision and offset the
kinetic energy of each other, and therefore it is impossible to realize the separation
of dirt and moisture deposition in the air streams.
[0038] Moreover, the cleaning equipment includes the main body, a rotating device
2500, and a locking mechanism
2510. The main body includes a machine body
1000 and a base
2000. An accommodation cavity is defined by the base, and a roller brush is rotationally
configured by a driver in the accommodation cavity. The rotating device
2500 is rotatably assembled on the base
2000 or the machine body
1000. The machine body
1000 is connected to the base
2000 through the rotating device
2500. The locking mechanism
2510 is provided on the rotating device
2500 and/or the base
2000. The locking mechanism
2510 is configured to lock the rotating device
2500 at a preset rotation angle.
[0039] Since the rotating device
2500 can be rotated relative to the base
2000, the machine body
1000 can be indirectly rotated relative to the base
2000 through the rotation of the rotating device
2500. Therefore, the machine body
1000 can swing forward or backward relative to the base
2000 to adjust the rotation angle of the machine body
1000 to the base
2000. The adjustment of the rotation angle of the machine body
1000 can facilitate the extension of the base
2000 into a narrow space for cleaning operations and improve the cleaning efficiency in
the narrow space.
[0040] The rotating device
2500 can form a fixed rotating axis through a structure such as a rotating shaft to make
the machine body
1000 be rotatably assembled on the base
2000 through the rotating device
2500. When the machine body
1000 rotates with the rotating device
2500, the machine body
1000 can achieve the effect of swinging forward or backward. In one embodiment, a rotating
groove
2520 is defined on the base
2000, and the rotating device
2500 is rotatably assembled in the rotating groove
2520 through the rotation shaft.
[0041] During the rotation of the rotating device
2500 along the rotation axis, the locking mechanism
2510 can lock the rotating device
2500 when the rotating device
2500 rotates to a preset rotation angle, so that the rotating device
2500 cannot continue to rotate at this rotation angle. Therefore, the machine body
1000 can be fixed relative to the base
2000 at the preset rotation angle. In one of the embodiments, the rotating device
2500 includes a latching member
2511 and a latching position
2512 respectively disposed between the base
2000 and the rotating device
2500. The latching member
2511 is engaged with the latching position
2512, and the locking of the rotating device
2500 at the preset rotation angle can be achieved by the mutual latching of the latching
member
2511 and the latching position
2512. The latching member
2511 can be an elastic part or indirectly assembled through an elastic part, so as to
enable the latching member
2511 to be elastically latch-fitted with the latching position
2512. The latching position
2512 may be a corresponding matching structure such as a groove, a protrusion, etc., as
long as the latching position
2512can form an elastic limit latching connection with the elastically assembled latching
member
2511.
[0042] In one embodiment, the latching position
2512 is provided on the rotating device
2500, and the latching member
2511 is elastically assembled in the rotating groove
2520 through the elastic retractable member
2513. The latching member
2511 is elastically latched with the latching position
2512 through the elastic retractable member
2513 so that when the rotating device
2500 is assembled and rotated in the rotating groove
2520, the rotating device
2500can be locked by the locking mechanism
2510 at the preset rotation angle.
[0043] In one of the embodiments, both the number of the latching member
2511 and the latching position
2512 is one, and the latching member
2511 is located on the front groove wall or the bottom groove wall of the rotating groove
2520. The latching position
2512 is located at the front or bottom of the rotating device
2500, and/or the number of the latching member
2511 and the latching position
2512 is two. The two latching members
2511 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite side groove walls of the rotating groove
2520. The two latching position
2512 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite sides of the rotating device
2500.Moreover, the numbers and positions of the latching member
2511 and the latching position
2512 can be set according to requirements, which are not limited herein.
[0044] In one embodiment, a rotation mechanism
2530 is configured between the rotating device
2500 and the machine body
1000. The machine body
1000 rotates relative to the rotating device
2500 through the rotation mechanism
2530 in a fixed axis. For example, the rotation axis of the rotation mechanism
2530 and the rotation axis of the rotating device
2500 are perpendicular to each other. At this time, the rotation of the rotating device
2500 can be responsible for driving the machine body
1000 to achieve forward and backward swing motions relative to the base
2000, and the rotation mechanism
2530 can be responsible for driving the machine body
1000 to rotate left and right relative to the base
2000.
[0045] The rotation mechanism
2530 can adopt various structural forms. In one of the embodiments, the rotation mechanism
2530 includes an annular groove
2531 and an annular protrusion
2532 respectively provided on the rotating device
2500 and the machine body
1000. The annular groove
2531 and the annular protrusion
2532 are slidably assembled, and the machine body
1000 rotates relative to the rotating device
2500 through the sliding assembly of the annular groove
2531 and the annular protrusion
2532. The user can hold the machine body
1000 and exert a control force on the machine body
1000, so that the annular protrusion
2532 can rotate relative to the annular groove
2531 in the circumferential direction. When the annular protrusion
2532 slides circumferentially relative to the annular groove
2531, the machine body
1000 can rotate relative to the rotating device
2500, which means turns right or left. Therefore, the machine body
1000rotates indirectly relative to the base
2000, and turns right or left. In this way, when the cleaning equipment needs to enter
some smaller space areas during operation, the machine body
1000 needs to be able to rotate to facilitate access to some narrow corners and low surfaces
to be cleaned, such as under the bed, under the table, and in other more hidden spaces.
Compared with cleaning equipment whose machine body cannot rotate left and right,
the above disclosed cleaning equipment that can be rotated left and right can obviously
have a more prominent cleaning effect on the cleaning of narrow areas and the easy
avoidance of obstacles during the cleaning process. The front and rear rotation of
the above disclosed cleaning equipment can better solve the problems with cleaning
equipment entering areas with restricted heights. The left and right rotation of the
disclosed cleaning equipment can easily realize the operation of cleaning equipment,
and the left and right rotation of the machine body can easily avoid furniture and
obstacles. The cleaning device is provided with front and rear and left and right
rotation functions, which makes it easy for users to clean low and narrow areas during
the cleaning process.
[0046] In one of the embodiments, the bottom of the machine body
1000 is provided with a detachable bottom cover
2533, and the bottom cover
2533 and the bottom of the machine body
1000 are respectively provided with a part of the annular groove
2531 or a part of the annular protrusion
2532. The bottom cover
2533 and the bottom of the machine body
1000 are assembled to form the annular groove
2531 or the annular protrusion
2532. The separation of the bottom cover
2533 relative to the machine body
1000 can crack the annular groove
2531 or the annular protrusion
2532. The mapping of the bottom cover
2533 relative to the machine body
1000 can form the complete annular groove
2531 or the annular protrusion
2532. Therefore, when the bottom cover
2533 is separated from the machine body
1000, the assembly of the machine body
1000 and the annular groove
2531 and the annular protrusion
2532 on the rotating device
2500 can be facilitated. When the bottom cover
2533 is assembled relative to the machine body
1000, the annular groove
2531 and the annular protrusion
2532 can form a stable assembly structure.
[0047] The wastewater tank
1100 is configured on the main body, and the wastewater tank
1100 connects with the accommodation cavity
2300 of the base
2000. The wastewater and dirt enter the wastewater tank
1100 after passing through the accommodation cavity
2300. The water supply tank
1200 is configured on the main body, and the water supply tank
1200 is connected with the suction source
1300 and the water divider
1400 in sequence through the water outlet channel
1370. The water divider
1400 includes a first distribution channel
1410 that connects to the roller brush and/or a second distribution channel
1420 for dividing flow out of the main body.
[0048] In one embodiment, a tank top portion
1310 and a tank bottom portion
1320 are provided from the water supply tank
1200. Further, a water storage cavity is provided in the water supply tank
1200. The water storage cavity of the water supply tank
1200 is divided into at least two inner cavity sections
1330 from the tank top portion
1310 to the tank bottom portion
1320. In the direction from the tank top portion
1310 to the tank bottom portion
1320, the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of inner cavity sections
1330 gradually decrease. In addition, the cross-sectional area is perpendicularto the
direction from the tank top portion
1310 to the tank bottom portion
1320.
[0049] The phenomenon of the cross-sectional area of the plurality of the inner cavity sections
1330 of the water supply tank
1200 gradually decreasing can be specifically expressed as the width of the different
inner cavity sections
1330 gradually decreasing. In other words, the plurality of inner cavity sections
1330 of the water supply tank
1200 gradually decrease in width in the direction from the tank top portion
1310 to the tank bottom portion
1320. When the water supply tank
1200 is installed in the main body, comparing with the design of overall cross-sectional
area of the water supply tank
1200 beingthe same, the water flow rate is faster in the inner cavity sections
1330 with smaller cross-sectional areas. Therefore, it can still ensure that the water
outlet speed of the water supply tank
1200 remains relatively constant after the water level drops. It will not cause the output
in the water supply tank
1200 to be significantly reduced due to the reduction of the water volume to better improve
the water outlet efficiency of the water supply tank
1200 and reduce the impact on the water outlet speed. Under above, the water outlet speed
of the water supply tank
1200 is made more uniform and stable, and the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment
is improved.
[0050] A water outlet structure may be provided on the water supply tank
1200, and the water outlet structure is arranged on the tank bottom portion
1320 of the water supply tank
1200. The water outlet structure includes a blocking member
1350, a water outlet
1360, and an air inlet
1341 connecting with the water storage cavity. The blocking member
1350 is used for elastically blocking the water outlet
1360. Therefore, in the case that the water supply tank
1200 is separated from the main body, the blocking member
1350 can block the water outlet
1360 by using elastic force, so that the water inside the water supply tank
1200 cannot flow out from the water outlet
1360. When the water supply tank
1200 is assembled with the host, a corresponding structure can be provided to overcome
the elastic force of the blocking member
1350 to make the blocking member
1350 release the blocking of the water outlet
1360. Then, the water in the water supply tank
1200 can flow out through the water outlet
1360 and be supplied to the outside of the roller brush or the main body under the driving
action of the suction source
1300.
[0051] In one embodiment, the water tank structure includes a tank cover
1340, and the water outlet
1360 is opened on the tank bottom portion
1320. The tank cover
1340 is configured on the water outlet
1360, and an external port
1343 is opened on the tank cover
1340 to communicate with the water outlet
1360. The blocking member
1350 is configured on the tank cover
1340, and the blocking member
1350 is used to elastically block the external port
1343 to block the water outlet
1360. The air inlet
1341 is opened on the tank cover
1340, and the main body is provided with a top opening
1354. The water supply tank
1200 is configured on the main body. The top opening
1354 abuts against and cooperates with the blocking member
1350 for pushing the blocking member
1350 to open the water outlet
1360. At this time, the top opening
1354 serves as a structure for overcoming the elastic force of the blocking member
1350 and can be mutually matched with the structure of the blocking member
1350, such as column or protrusion structures.
[0052] The tank cover
1340 can be assembled on the water outlet
1360 of the water supply tank
1200 through a screw-threaded structure. The blocking member
1350 is configured on the tank cover
1340. After the tank cover
1340 is screwed off, the water outlet
1360 of the water supply tank
1200 can also be used as a water inlet for replenishing water into the water storage cavity
of the water supply tank
1200.It is convenient to add water to the water supply tank
1200 and does not require an additional independent water inlet on the water supply tank
1200. In addition, the blocking member
1350 elastically assembled on the tank cover
1340 can also be directly designed at the position of the water outlet
1360 of the water supply tank
1200 so as to bypass the use of the tank cover
1340 and design independent water outlet
1360. Those skilled in the art can select a corresponding design structure according to
requirements, which is not limited here.
[0053] In one embodiment, a limiting stage
1351 is provided in the external port
1343, and a limiting portion
1352 is provided on the blocking member
1350. The blocking member
1350 is elastically assembled in the external port
1343 through an elastic member
1353, and the limiting portion
1352 of the blocking member
1350 is in elastic contact with the limiting stage
1351 through the elastic force exerted by the elastic member
1353. In addition, the limiting portion
1352 and the limiting stage
1351 elastically contact each other to block the external port
1343.
[0054] The mutually abutting surfaces of the limiting stage
1351 and the limiting portion
1352 may be a cooperating plane or cooperating bevels. When the limiting stage
1351 and the limiting portion
1352 abut each other to make the surface of the limiting stage
1351 and the surface of the limiting portion
1352 fit with each other, it can form a good blocking of the external port
1343, and the water outlet
1360 is further blocked by blocking the external port
1343. It prevents the water in the water supply tank
1200 from flowing out from the water outlet
1360. Only when the elastic force exerted by the elastic member
1353 is overcome will the limiting portion
1352 and the limiting stage
1351 of the blocking member
1350 be separated. It causes the external port
1343 to be opened, and then the water outlet
1360 is opened, so that the water in the water supply tank
1200 flows out from the water outlet
1360.
[0055] In one embodiment, the water tank structure includes an unidirectional valve
1342, and the unidirectional valve
1342 is configured on the air inlet
1341. The unidirectional valve
1342 only allows air to enter the water storage cavity along the air inlet
1341 and the water in the water storage cavity will not flow out of the water supply tank
1200 through the air inlet
1341. The unidirectional valve
1342 can be tubular, and the bottom of the unidirectional valve
1342 can form aV-shape. The inner walls on the opposite sides of the V-shaped section
are fitted closed to each other under normal conditions. It can only be separated
at the pressure value developed when the suction source
1300 is activated. Therefore, when the suction source
1300 is continuously pumping water, the negative pressure in the water supply tank
1200 is continuously increased. When the air pressure outside the water supply tank
1200 to the unidirectional valve
1342 is greater than the water pressure inside the water supply tank
1200 to the unidirectional valve
1342, the outside air of the water supply tank
1200 can enter the water supply tank
1200 through the unidirectional valve
1342 along the air inlet
1341 to supplement the air (intake) of the water supply tank
1200. When the air pressure inside the water supply tank
1200 is balanced with the air pressure outside the water supply tank
1200, the unidirectional valve
1342 can be closed under the extrusion of the water pressure in the water supply tank
1200. In other words, it means the inner pipe walls on the opposite sides of the V-shaped
pipe section fit with each other. In this way, the unidirectional valve
1342 can be closed to prevent the water in the water supply tank
1200 from flowing out of the water supply tank
1200 through the air inlet
1341.
[0056] In one embodiment, the water tank structure includes a first filter, and the first
filter is configured at the water outlet
1360. Therefore, the water in the water supply tank
1200 can be filtered and then flow out through the water outlet
1360,so as to prevent solid matter in water supply tank
1200 from clogging the water outlet
1360 and downstream channel.
[0057] The water supply tank
1200 can be provided with an elastic buckle structure
1390, and the water supply tank
1200 is configured to be detachably mounted on the main body of the cleaning equipment
through the elastic buckle structure
1390. The elastic buckle structure
1390 can more firmly connect the water supply tank
1200 and the main body when the water supply tank
1200 is configured on the main body. Moreover, the elastic buckle structure
1390 will generate a sound when the water supply tank
1200 is connected to the main body. The sound can remind the user that the water supply
tank
1200 has been configured on the main body.
[0058] In one of the embodiments, the water tank structure includes at least one first unidirectional
valve
1430, and the first unidirectional valve
1430 is connected between the suction source
1300 and the water divider
1400. The first unidirectional valve
1430 can connect the suction source
1300 and the water divider
1400 under the pressure value formed when the suction source
1300 is activated. The suction source
1300 can use a water pump. When the suction source
1300 is turned on, the water of the water supply tank
1200 can be supplied to the water divider
1400, thereby generating a larger water pressure value. Only then can a sufficient water
pressure value be generated to open the first unidirectional valve
1430. When the suction source
1300 is turned-off, the water in the water supply tank
1200 cannot generate a sufficient water pressure value, so as to be unable to open the
first unidirectional valve
1430. The above state makes the water in the water supply tank
1200 not able topass through the first unidirectional valve
1430 when the main body is shut down or stops working.
[0059] When there is residual water in the channel between the first unidirectional valve
1430 and the water divider
1400, the first unidirectional valve
1430 can prevent the water of the water supply tank
1200 from being delivered downstream. At this time, the end of the channel with water
and downstream of the first unidirectional valve
1430 is closed, and one end of the water divider
1400 is in connection with the air. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, due to the
sealing effect of the first unidirectional valve
1430, it prevents the water in the pipeline between the first unidirectional valve
1430 and the water divider
1400 from flowing out of the main body so as to solve the problem of water leakage and
ensure the cleanliness of the ground.
[0060] In one embodiment, the tank structure includes at least one second unidirectional
valve
1440. The second unidirectional valve
1440 is provided on the first distribution channel
1410 and/or the second distribution channel
1420. The second unidirectional valve
1440 can open the first distribution channel
1410 and/or the second distribution channel
1420 at a pressure value established when the suction source
1300 is activated. The second unidirectional valve
1440 can close one end of the first distribution channel
1410 or the second distribution channel
1420 and open the other end when the first unidirectional valve
1430 is closed. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, no matter how the height and
horizontal inclination of the first distribution channel
1410 or the second distribution channel
1420 change, or no matter how the main body shakes, it will not cause the residual water
in the main body to flow out along the first distribution channel
1410 or the second distribution channel
1420 so as to avoid the problem of water leakage after the main body is turned-off or
the suction source
1300 stops working.
[0061] The design principle is that when both ends of a water pipe with water are open,
as long as the the two ends of the water pipe are at different heights, the water
in the water pipe will leak out. But if one end of the water pipe is blocked, no matter
how the water pipe is placed, whether the water pipe is vertical or horizontal, even
if there is a height difference between the two ends of the water pipe, the water
in the water pipe will not leak out of the water pipe if they are not at the same
height.
[0062] It should be noted that the unidirectional valve
1342, the first unidirectional valve
1430, or the second unidirectional valve
1440 can all be of a type such as a soft type unidirectional valve, a mechanical spring
valve, or an electronic valve. For example, when a soft type unidirectional valve
is used, the unidirectional valve
1342, the first unidirectional valve 1430, or the second unidirectional valve
1440 may include a main pipe section
1431 and a flexible pipe section
1432. The inner cavity of the flexible pipe section
1432 is communicated with the inner cavity of the main pipe section
1431, and the inner pipe walls of the opposite sides of the flexible pipe section
1432 are fitted and closed with each other. The inner tube wall on the opposite side of
the flexible pipesection
1432 can only be separated at the pressure values developed when the suction source
1300 is activated so that only the pneumatic or hydraulic pressure value formed when the
suction source
1300 is activated can cause the soft one-way valve to open. Alternatively, when a mechanical
spring valve is used, and only the air pressure or hydraulic pressure value is greater
than the elastic force of the spring in the mechanical spring valve, the gas or liquid
can flow out of this mechanical spring valve. Alternatively, when the electronic valve
is used, the unidirectional valve
1342, the first unidirectional valve
1430, or the second unidirectional valve
1440 can be automatically controlled to close when the main body is turned off or the
water pump is not working.
[0063] In one embodiment, the accommodation cavity
2300 is provided with a spray port
2310 communicating with the first distribution channel
1410. The angle between the injection direction of the spray port
2310 and the radial centerline of the roller brush is an acute angle. The radial centerline
is perpendicular to the central axis of the tube brush. Both ends of the roller brush
are symmetrical with respect to the radial centerline. At this time, when the injection
direction and the radial centerline are at an acute angle, the area of the injection
can be expanded so as to make water sprayed more evenly on the roller brush. If the
injection direction does not form an acute angle with the radial centerline, such
as the injection direction beingparallel to the radial centerline, when the spray
port
2310 sprays along the radial centerline of the roller brush, it can only spray to one
point on the roller brush. The roller brush can only form a circle area at most after
rotation but is unable to spray evenly.
[0064] In one embodiment, a roller brush cover
2400 is provided. The roller brush cover
2400 is located on the base
2000, the accommodation cavity
2300 is provided between the roller brush cover
2400 and the base
2000, and the inner wall of the roller brush cover
2400 fits with at least a part of the bristles of the roller brush. The bristles of the
roller brush can be made of fluff or soft fiber materials. The abutment of the roller
brush cover
2400 with at least a part of the bristles of the roller brush can be defined as the direct
contact between the roller brush cover
2400 and the bristles of the roller brush. Alternatively, it can be defined as a distance
of 0mm-5mm between the roller brush cover
2400 and the bristles of the roller brush.
[0065] After the roller brush cover
2400 is fitted to the bristles of the roller brush, the friction and squeezing force will
be formed between the roller brush, the roller brush cover
2400, and the water. The surface of the roller brush and the roller brush cover
2400 can be cleaned by the friction and squeezing force between the three so as to make
the cleaning equipment always keep the roller brush and the roller brush cover
2400 clean during the operation of the equipment. Moreover, the roller brush and the roller
brush cover
2400 can also be kept very clean after the cleaning equipment is self-cleaning. If the
roller brush and roller brush cover
2400 are not designed to fit with each other, the roller brush or the roller brush cover
2400 is difficult to keep clean during operation of the cleaning equipment and after the
machine is self-cleaning.
[0066] In one embodiment, the cleaning equipment includes a water leakage channel
1380, and the water leakage channel
1380 connects with the water storage cavity of the water supply tank
1200. The inlet of the water leakage channel
1380 is located at the lowest position of the water storage cavity, therefore, the water
remaining in the water storage cavity of the water supply tank
1200 can be discharged through the water leakage channel
1380. At this time, a matching water tank can be provided on the main body, and the water
discharged from the water leakage channel
1380 can be collected through the matching water tank.
[0067] In one embodiment, the cleaning equipment includes a second filter, the second filter
is configured at the air outlet of the wastewater tank
1100. Therefore, the second filter can filter the airflow in the wastewater tank
1100 and then discharges the air to the outside of the main body of the cleaning equipment.
[0068] In one embodiment, the cleaning device includes a base seat
3000, a power supply
3100, and a control panel, and the base
2000 and the base seat
3000 can be assembled separately. The base seat
3000 is provided with a heater
3400, a second fluid channel
3500, and a hot air outlet
3600, and the second fluid channel
3500 is provided between the heater
3400 and the hot air outlet
3600. There is a blower
3700 in the base seat
3000, which can play the role of hot air diversion through the second fluid channel
3500. The second fluid channel
3500 is equivalent to the hot air channel in the base seat
3000. The base seat
3000 is provided with a first charging contact
3200, and the first charging contact
3200 is configured to connect to an external power supply. A power supply
3100 is provided on the main body, and the power supply
3100 is a rechargeable power supply
3100. The base
2000 is provided with a second charging contact
3300, and the second charging contact
3300 is electrically connected to the power supply
3100. The first charging contact
3200 and the second charging contact
3300 are configured to be able to be electrically connected in a state in which the base
2000 is assembled to the base seat
3000 to charge the power supply
3100 with the external power supply. The control panel is at least electrically connected
to the power supply
3100, the negative pressure source
1500, and the suction source
1300. The control panel has a self-cleaning function button, and the self-cleaning function
button is electrically connected to the control assembly
2200. The self-cleaning function button is configured to start a self-cleaning working
mode, and in the self-cleaning working mode, the ultraviolet generator
2100 is turned off by the control assembly
2200.
[0069] When the base
2000 of the cleaning equipment is placed on the base seat
3000, the user can press the self-cleaning function button, and the control panel can control
the cleaning equipment to start the self-cleaning working mode through the corresponding
control system. In the self-cleaning working mode of the cleaning equipment, the power
supply
3100 can energize the negative pressure source
1500, the drive motor, the suction source
1300, etc. The suction source
1300 can control the clean water in the water supply tank
1200 to be delivered to the roller brush through the water outlet channel
1370, and the drive motor drives the roller brush to rotate to realize the self-cleaning
of the roller brush. After the negative pressure source
1500 is activated, the suction force of the negative pressure source
1500 can suck the remaining stains on the roller brush or cleaning equipment into the
wastewater tank
1100. Specifically, when the cleaning equipment is started in the self-cleaning working
mode, the cleaning equipment enters the drying mode. In the drying mode, the driver
is configured to drive the roller brush to rotate, the suction source
1300 is configured to drive the cleaning medium stored in the water supply tank
1200 to provide to the roller brush, and the roller brush rotates and self-cleans with
the cleaning medium. The heater
3400 is configured to heat at least a part of the gas flowing through the second fluid
channel
3500 to form a high temperature air in the self-cleaning working mode. The high temperature
air is blown towards the roller brush through the hot air outlet
3600. The negative pressure source
1500 is configured to drive the high temperature air to flow along the second fluid channel
3500 and the first fluid channel. The high temperature air passes through the roller brush
to assist the cleaning medium to dry the roller brush. The negative pressure source
1500 can also drive the dirt on the roller brush to flow into the wastewater tank
1100 along the first fluid channel.
[0070] The control panel also has an interactive display module. The interactive display
module can display the charging status or other working mode status when the cleaning
equipment is charging to alertthe user about the actual working condition of the current
cleaning equipment. In addition, during the charging period of the cleaning equipment,
the cleaning equipment can start the self-cleaning working mode at the same time to
carry out the self-cleaning operation of the roller brush. Of course, the charging
function can also be selectively deactivated in the self-cleaning working mode of
the cleaning equipment. Meanwhile, when the cleaning equipment is not placed on the
base seat
3000, the user can also start the self-cleaning working mode to perform the self-cleaning
operation of the roller brush. Moreover, whether the base
2000 and the base seat
3000 are docked can be determined by detecting whether the first charging contact
3200 and the second charging contact
3300 are connected with each other. Alternatively, whether the main body and the base
seat
3000 are docked can be detected through distance sensors, infrared sensors, etc. The implemented
detection manner may also be other detection manners, which will not be repeated here.
[0071] The base seat
3000 is provided with a cleaning cavity for accommodating the roller brush, and a water
storage tank is opened in the cleaning cavity. At least a part of the roller brush
can extend into the water storage tank. A hot air blower is provided on the main body
or the base seat
3000, and the hot air blower is used to provide hot air to the cleaning assembly and/or
the water storage tank. The hot air blower may be configured to provide hot air to
the roller brush or the water storage tank. Alternatively, the hot air blower may
be configured to simultaneously provide hot air to the roller brush and the water
storage tank. The hot air blower can include a heating module and a fan. During the
process of the hot air blower providing hot air, the heating module can heat the surrounding
air and the fan blows heated air to form hot air. The base seat
3000 can have pipelines and structures that cooperate with the hot air blower and use
the pipeline structure to guide the hot air reasonably. For example, in one of the
embodiments, the hot air blower may be connected with a hot air pipeline, and the
outlet of the hot air pipeline communicates with the accommodation cavity. For instances,
the outlet of the hot air pipeline is set on the base seat
3000 close to the end of the roller brush on the main body, and then the hot air blower
is started to form hot air, and the hot air is blown out against the roller brush.
While the hot air dries the surface of the roller brush on the main body, the hot
air will also heat the water in the water storage tank. The heated water will clean
the roller brush more thoroughly, making it easier for the dirt and dust attached
to the roller brush to dissolve in hot water and separate from the roller brush. In
addition, in one embodiment, a heater
3400 may also be provided on the base seat
3000, and the heater
3400 is thermally connected to the water storage tank. The heater
3400 directly heats the water in the water storage tank to assist the cleaning of the
roller brush.
