It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are illustrative only and are not limiting the invention.

[0022] With the rapid development of science and technology and the upgrading of people's pursuit of quality of life, the limitations of traditional surface cleaning methods are becoming more and more obvious in dealing with modern diversified and complicated cleaning challenges. Especially in the case of cleaning surfaces with different slope and inclination angles, such as glass curtain walls with inclination changes and chamfers with planar edges, the traditional cleaning machine is limited by its non-flexible self-adaptation and insufficient stability of the wiping disk design, which is difficult to effectively handle. For the commonly used fixed or limited adjustment of the wiping structure, it is difficult to meet the dynamic and flexible surface angle, resulting in uneven distribution of cleaning force and cleaning blind areas, which not only slows down the cleaning process, but also damages the cleaning effect. It is difficult to meet the urgent needs of modern cleaning industry for intelligent operation and high efficiency and convenience.
[0023] In order to solve the above problems, referring to Figs. 1 to 6, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cleaning machine with a stabilizing auxiliary structure, including:
a mounting housing 10 configured for providing a support platform for the overall structure, wherein a plurality of edge sensors 11 are mounted on the peripheral side of the mounting housing 10 for monitoring the boundary position in real time, preventing a collision and ensuring the safety of a cleaning operation;
a vacuum adsorption member 20, which is mounted on a mounting housing 10 and provides a vacuum adsorption capability, wherein a stabilizing auxiliary adsorption member 30 is provided beside the vacuum adsorption member 20 and is used for providing a plurality of stable supporting points for the movement of the cleaning machine and improving the stability of the movement and steering; an adsorption cavity 31 is provided in the stabilizing auxiliary adsorption member 30, and the adsorption cavity 31 communicates with the adsorption end of the vacuum adsorption member 20 so as to form a complete adsorption and ensure that the stabilizing auxiliary adsorption member 30 can normally produce a supporting point effect;
a walking drive 40, which is installed on the mounting housing 10 and disposed at both sides of the vacuum adsorption member 20, provides a smooth moving power for the cleaning machine and ensures a precise control of the cleaning path.
a rotary motor 50, which provides power support for the rotary wiping operation, is mounted on the mounting case 10 and disposed on both sides of the stabilizing auxiliary adsorption member 30.
a rotary disk 60, which is movably mounted at the bottom end of the mounting housing 10 and is connected to the transmission end of the rotary motor 50, and is driven by the rotary motor 50 to achieve rapid rotation, so as to lay the foundation for the rotary wiping operation; and
a dynamic wiper 70, which is arranged parallel to the rotary disc 60 and is connected to the rotary disc 60 via an elastic component 80 in a flexible connection manner, so as to ensure that the dynamic wiper 70 can both closely conform to a plane to be cleaned and can adapt to a continuous cleaning surface with different inclination angles during the cleaning process, wherein an elastic gap is formed between the dynamic wiper 70 and the rotary disc 60, which can both effectively buffer the impact force during the cleaning process and ensure that the dynamic wiper 70 has a sufficient space for adaptive adjustment.
[0024] Note that, referring to Fig. 3, the stabilizing auxiliary adsorption member 30 is disposed between the two rotary motors 50, i.e., a adsorption fulcrum is constructed between the two dynamic wipers 70, so as to balance the torque deviation between the two dynamic wipers 70 and serve as a guide fulcrum, ensuring the stability of the cleaning machine during steering or cleaning, and avoiding the occurrence of slippage.
[0025] Specifically, referring to Figs. 5 and 6, an elastic component 80 is provided between the rotary disk 60 and the dynamic wiper 70 to ensure a close fit of the rotary disk 60 and the dynamic wiper 70 while giving the cleaning machine a higher flexibility. The elastic component 80 includes a first elastic member 81 and a second elastic member 82, which cooperate with each other to achieve multi-dimensional cushioning and inclination angle adaptation of the cleaning machine. One end of the first elastic member 81 is connected to the core of the rotary disk 60, and the other end thereof is connected to the core of the dynamic wiper 70, so as to provide a stable and elastic support for the core region. The second elastic member 82 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the first elastic member 81, further enhancing the stability and adaptability of the structure. One end of the second elastic member 82 is connected to the rotary disk 60, and the other end thereof is connected to the dynamic wiper 70. This arrangement effectively disperses impact forces during cleaning, reduces vibration and wear, and improves overall cleaning efficiency and durability.
[0026] A plurality of limiting protrusions 61 are further provided on one side of the rotary disk 60 close to the dynamic wiper 70. The limiting protrusions 61 are arranged between the first elastic member 81 and the second elastic member 82 and are distributed at equal intervals along the outer peripheral side of the first elastic member 81. The rotary disc 60 is further provided with an adjustable fastener 71. The limiting protrusion 61 is provided with a matching hole 611 corresponding to the fastener 71.
[0027] The design of the adjustable fastener 71 provides the user with a variety of flexible selection requirements. According to the cleaning requirements and the characteristics of the cleaning surface, the user may adjust the connection relationship between the rotary disc 60 and the dynamic wiper 70 by means of the adjustable fastener 71, so as to realize the switching between the fixed connection and the elastic connection. For example, in the case of facing a flat cleaning surface with no change in the inclination angle, the impact of the elastic component 80 on the cleaning is not considered due to not being affected by the inclination angle covering surface. In order to improve the cleaning efficiency and extend the service life of the elastic component 80, the user may select the fixed connection relationship at this time.
[0028] With reference to Fig. 4, the adsorption cavity 31 includes a first adsorption chamber 311 and a second adsorption chamber 312 which are in communication with each other, wherein the second adsorption chamber 312 is also in communication with the adsorption end of the vacuum adsorption member 20 so as to form a complete airflow flow path, providing multiple auxiliary fulcrums, enhancing the adsorption stability, improving the anti-interference ability and adaptability. The mounting housing 10 is provided with a first adsorption mesh 12, a second adsorption mesh 13 and a third adsorption mesh 14 which correspond to the adsorption end of the vacuum adsorption member 20, the first adsorption chamber 311 and the second adsorption chamber 312 respectively. The designs of these meshes ensure a smooth passage of the airflow and a stable adsorption effect. The third adsorption mesh 14 is provided between the first adsorption mesh 12 and the second adsorption mesh 13, and is located in the middle part of the mounting housing 10, so as to effectively enhance the adsorption uniformity and strength. The walking drives 40 are arranged on both sides of the first adsorption mesh 12, and two walking drives 40 are arranged in parallel, which not only ensures the smooth movement of the cleaning machine, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of walking. The dynamic wipers 70 are provided on both sides of the second adsorption mesh 13, and cooperate with the rotary disc 60 to achieve efficient wiping and decontamination of the cleaning surface. The two dynamic wipers 70 rotate in opposite directions.
[0029] In the preferred embodiment, the two dynamic wipers 70 are rotated towards one side close to each other to ensure wiping stability while further improving the overall cleaning effect.
[0030] Referring to Fig. 5 or Fig. 6, the dynamic wiper 70 is further detachably mounted with a rotary wiping surface layer 72 for later maintenance replacement and use, which ensures the rotary wiping effect, improves the cleaning depth and ensures the cleaning quality.
[0031] The adsorption chamber 31 is flared, which not only improves the flow efficiency of the airflow, but also enhances the adsorption effect. Specifically, the first adsorption chamber 311 serves as a preliminary airflow inflow region. The cavity volume of the first adsorption chamber 311 is less than the cavity volume of the second adsorption chamber 312. This difference in volume enables the airflow to accelerate when passing through the first adsorption chamber 311, forming a preliminary air pressure difference and enhancing the adsorption force. When the airflow enters the second adsorption chamber 312, the airflow speed is slowed down due to the increase of the cavity volume, but the air pressure difference is still maintained, guiding the airflow to be uniformly distributed, ensuring the stability of the adsorption process.
[0032] Furthermore, a first mounting groove 16 is provided at the bottom end of the mounting housing 10, so as to provide a stable and flexible mounting platform for the rotary disk 60, ensure the stability of the operation process of the rotary disk 60, and also facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement. The rotary disk 60 is movably mounted in the first mounting groove 16. A stepped ring groove 17 is further provided on the outer peripheral side of the first mounting groove 16. The diameter of the stepped ring groove 17 is greater than the diameter of the dynamic wiper 70. This layout reserves sufficient movement space for the dynamic wiper 70 to ensure that the dynamic wiper 70 can freely swing under the drive of the rotary disk 60 so as to adapt to the cleaning requirements of different inclined surfaces. At the same time, the diameter of the dynamic wiper 70 is greater than the diameter of the rotary disk 60, which is sized to cover a larger area when the dynamic wiper 70 contacts the cleaning surface, improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
[0033] In addition, referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 4, the cleaning machine with the stabilizing auxiliary structure further includes:
a static wiper 15, which is detachably mounted at the bottom end of the mounting housing 10 and cooperates with the dynamic wiper 70 to form a double wiping operation, further improving the cleaning efficiency and quality, wherein the detachable design facilitates flexible configuration and replacement according to specific cleaning requirements, so as to extend the service life of the equipment; and
a cover body 90, which, as a protective layer for the mounting housing 10, is mounted on the mounting housing 10, wherein the ventilation and heat dissipation grooves 91 are provided on two opposite sides of the cover body 90, which effectively ensures the heat dissipation performance of the cleaning machine during a long-time operation, and prevents the internal components from being damaged due to overheating; and a portable member 92 is further provided on the cover body 90, which not only facilitates the user to carry and move the cleaning machine, but also improves the overall portability and use comfort.
[0034] In Embodiment 1, referring to Fig. 5, the second elastic members 82 are spring members, and the second elastic members 82 are multiple and distributed at equal intervals along the outer peripheral side of the rotary disk 60, which not only ensures that the dynamic wipers 70 are evenly supported and cushioned in all directions, but also makes the overall structure more compact and stable. Each spring member can work independently, and can be adjusted adaptively according to the magnitude and direction of the received force, so as to achieve a more refined dynamic balance control and improve the cleaning efficiency and service life of the cleaning machine.
[0035] In Embodiment 2, referring to Fig. 6, the second elastic member 82 is an elastic sponge ring member, which utilizes the excellent flexibility and elasticity of the sponge material and achieves an all-directional cushioning and sealing effect by a ring-shaped structure. The second elastic member 82 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the first elastic member 81 and is spaced apart from the first elastic member 81. This design not only ensures the relative independence between the two members, but also allows the slight deformation generated when they cooperate with each other, thereby improving the overall adaptability and durability.
[0036] Further, one end of the second elastic member 82 is in abutting connection with the rotary plate 60, and the other end thereof is in abutting connection with the dynamic wiper 70. This interference connection effectively transmits the power of the rotary plate 60, while minimizing friction and wear, and ensuring smooth operation and efficient cleaning during cleaning.
