具体实施方式
本披露内容涉及一种表面清洁器,具体是一种配置成回收和/或分配清洁液体的表面清洁器,该表面清洁器具有多个不同的清洁位置或模式。表面清洁器包括直立清洁模式、辅助清洁模式、以及提离清洁模式。对于用户来说,一台机器能够用于多种目的是有益的。表面清洁器包括可移除地联接至本体的罐组件,该罐组件具有壳体、回收箱、以及供应箱。当罐组件联接至本体时,表面清洁器在直立清洁模式下操作。当罐组件从本体移除时,表面清洁器在辅助清洁模式下操作。
图1展示了根据本发明的实施例的表面清洁器10的立体图。表面清洁器10是输送液体的表面清洁器,比如抽吸器、硬地板清洁器等。表面清洁器10具有本体12以及将表面清洁器10支撑在清洁表面上的基座20。本体12包括下部部分14和与下部部分14相对的上部部分16。基座20可枢转地联接至下部部分14并且被配置成在清洁表面上移动。上部部分16包括与基座20相对的手柄22。基座20可在直立清洁模式下和辅助清洁模式下通过用户抓握手柄22而在清洁表面上移动。
表面清洁器10包括罐组件28,该罐组件可移除地联接至本体12。罐组件28包括壳体30、抽吸源或马达32、供应箱34、以及回收箱36。罐组件28可在图1和图10所展示的联接位置与图2、图3、图7、图8、以及图11所展示的断开联接位置之间移动。在图1至图3、图7至图11所展示的实施例中,提手48定位在壳体30上。提手48提供了用户可抓握部分,以使罐组件28在联接位置与移除位置之间移动。
如图5a和图5b所示,罐组件28的马达32、供应箱34、以及回收箱36可以具有不同的内部布局。在图1所展示的实施例中,供应箱34和回收箱36并排定向。并排包括供应箱34和回收箱36相邻并接触的取向,以及供应箱34和回收箱36被框架部分72分开的取向,比如图1所展示的壳体30。在一个实施例中,供应箱的顶端和回收箱的顶端基本上在相同的水平上。在图1所展示的并排实施例中,马达32位于供应箱34和回收箱36下方的高度处。在图5a和图5b所展示的实施例中,供应箱34定位在回收箱36上方。在图5a所展示的实施例中,当罐组件28联接至本体12并且本体的上部部分16定位在下部部分14上方时,马达32定位在回收箱36上方的高度处并且邻近供应箱34。在图5b所展示的实施例中,当罐组件28联接至本体12并且本体的上部部分16定位在下部部分14上方时,马达32定位在回收箱36和供应箱34两者下方的高度处。基于表面清洁器的清洁需求,不同的取向帮助优化箱尺寸、重量分布、以及用户体验等因素。
表面清洁器10包括定位在基座20上的吸嘴24。吸嘴24与抽吸马达32和回收箱36流体连通。抽吸马达32沿着从吸嘴24上的抽吸入口52延伸到排出出口58的空气路径产生工作气流,可操作成通过抽吸入口52从清洁表面吸取碎屑和流体。工作气流延伸通过软管40并延伸到回收箱36中。在图1、图2、图7、以及图10所展示的实施例中,软管40直接联接至基座20并且与吸嘴24流体连通,从而允许抽吸马达32将流体和碎屑从吸嘴24通过软管40吸取到回收箱36中。在图3所展示的实施例中,软管40配置成从基座20断开联接。
在图1和图2所展示的实施例中,表面清洁器10包括定位在基座20上的流体分配器50。如图2所展示的,流体分配器50通过流体管线54与供应箱34流体连通,并且流体分配器50配置成向清洁表面提供清洁流体。流体管线54沿着软管40延伸。流体从供应箱34流动通过流体管线54,并流出流体分配器50,流到清洁表面。在所展示的实施例中,流体分配器50向吸嘴24前面输送流体。在一个实施例中,流体分配器设置成向吸嘴24后面、基座20下面输送流体。
表面清洁器10包括软管40,该软管具有第一端42和第二端44,该第一端联接至回收箱36,该第二端用于将碎屑和流体从清洁表面吸取到回收箱36。如图1和图10所展示的,当罐组件28联接至本体12并且软管的第二端44直接联接到基座20、与吸嘴24流体连通时,表面清洁器10可在直立清洁模式下操作。如图2所展示的,当罐组件28从本体12移除并且软管的第二端44直接联接到基座20时,表面清洁器10可在辅助清洁模式下操作。在直立清洁模式和辅助清洁模式两者下,碎屑和流体被真空吸入吸嘴24,通过软管40,并进入回收箱36中。回收箱36配置成容装从清洁表面收集的碎屑和/或流体。
直立清洁模式使用户能够以熟悉的方式使用表面清洁器10,类似于传统的直立式硬地板清洁器或直立式抽吸器。罐组件28联接至本体12并且基座20通过手柄22在表面上移动。图2所展示的辅助清洁模式提供了与在直立清洁模式下不同的清洁体验。在辅助清洁模式下,罐组件28被移除并且软管的第二端44仍联接至基座20。这允许用户使用手柄22以与直立清洁模式相同的方式来沿着清洁表面引导基座20。然而,由于罐组件28被移除,因此本体12具有较低的轮廓和较轻的重量。这种较低的轮廓操作类似于传统的罐式清洁器,从而允许表面清洁器10到达难以到达的区域,比如沙发或咖啡桌下。
如图3、图8和图11所展示的,当罐组件28从本体12移除并且软管40从基座20断开联接时,表面清洁器10可在提离清洁模式下操作。在一个实施例中,吸嘴24配置成从基座20移除并且软管的第二端44直接联接至吸嘴24。提离清洁模式允许用户操作表面清洁器10进行局部清洁或地板上方的清洁。
表面清洁器10可以包括附件清洁工具70,该附件清洁工具可在提离清洁模式下连接至软管40的第二端44。在图6所展示的实施例中,清洁工具70包括流体分配器50’。流体分配器50’通过流体管线54’与供应箱34流体连通,并且流体分配器50’配置成向清洁表面提供清洁流体。流体管线54’沿着软管40延伸。流体从供应箱34流动通过流体管线54’,流到清洁工具70并流出流体分配器50’,流到清洁表面。在图6所展示的实施例中,清洁工具70包括与供应箱34、流体管线54’以及流体分配器50’流体连通的致动器56。流体分配器50’由致动器56(比如用户可抓握的触发器)激活。清洁工具70可连接至软管的第二端44以将清洁工具吸嘴52’、52”流体地连接至软管40,并将清洁工具的流体分配器50’流体地连接至流体管线54’。在一个实施例中,软管40配置成从基座20断开联接,同时罐组件28联接至本体12,并且软管40的第二端44可连接至清洁工具70,用于地板上方的清洁。
软管40直接连接至基座20或清洁工具70的一个优点是,软管40创造了更短且更直接的空气路径来从清洁表面回收碎屑和流体。其次,它允许本体12不同的构造,这允许表面清洁器10更紧凑并且节省空间。
在图4所展示的实施例中,本体12是可收缩的,使得下部部分14和上部部分16在收缩位置下相邻。这可以通过使本体12的上部部分16和下部部分14一起伸缩来实现。由于不考虑本体12中的气流,因此简化了伸缩本体的构造。在一个未示出的实施例中,本体12是可通过折叠收缩的,使得上部部分16和手柄22折叠成在接合部处与下部部分14相邻。本体12的可收缩性减小了表面清洁器10的储存尺寸。
表面清洁器10还可以包括搅动器26,该搅动器操作地定位成接合清洁表面。在一个实施例中,搅动器26由搅动器马达64驱动。搅动器26配置成在直立清洁模式和辅助清洁模式两者下搅动清洁表面。在图2所展示的实施例中,搅动器26操作地定位在基座20中。在该实施例中,搅动器26可在直立清洁模式和辅助清洁模式下操作。在提离清洁模式下,图6的清洁工具70包括通过吸嘴52来吸取碎屑和流体的吸力,但不包括可旋转搅动特征。在一个实施例中,清洁工具70包括刷毛,以便能够对表面进行手动搅动。
在图1至图4的实施例中,表面清洁器10由通过电源线65连接到罐组件28的家庭用电供电。通过电源线65向抽吸马达32供应交流电(AC),以向抽吸马达32和表面清洁器10的控制件供电。在所展示的实施例中,当罐组件28联接至(图1)本体12和从本体断开联接(图2)时,电源线65向抽吸马达32供电。电源线沿着软管40或在其中行进,以经由电源线65从罐组件28向搅动器马达64供应电力。
在图7和图8所展示的替代性实施例中,基座20’包括电池62,当罐组件28从本体12’断开联接(图7)时,该电池向搅动器马达64供电。电池62是可再充电的。本体12’包括电触点67并且罐组件28包括对应的电触点,当罐组件28联接至本体12’时,罐组件的电触点与本体12’的电触点67配合。当罐组件28联接至本体12’时,电力从电源线65被供应到罐组件28,并经由触点67供应到电池62来为电池充电。同样,当罐组件28联接至本体12’时,电力从电源线65被供应到罐组件28,并且经由触点67供应到搅动器马达64以向搅动器马达64供电。在一个实施例中,搅动器马达64是直流(DC)马达,并且表面清洁器10’包括AC到DC转换器。在另一实施例中,当罐组件28从本体12’断开联接和联接至本体时,搅动器马达64由电池62供电。在这种实施例中,当罐组件28联接至本体12’时,电池62进行充电。
