Abstract

The present disclosure provides a mopping apparatus including a housing, a first mopping member, a second mopping member, a lifting device, and a drive motor. Wherein the first mopping member is arranged at the bottom of the shell; the second mopping component is arranged at the bottom of the shell; and the lifting device is arranged on the shell and is in driving connection with the second mopping component so as to drive the second mopping component to lift relative to the first mopping component, so that the second mopping component is close to or far away from the top of the shell. The drive motor is capable of driving at least one of the first and second mopping members to rotate. When the floor mopping device with the structure is used for cleaning stubborn stains, the second floor mopping component can be far away from the shell through the lifting device, and therefore the second floor mopping component is in contact with the ground, the friction force of the floor mopping device on the ground is increased, and the stubborn stains are cleaned.

Description

Mopping device

Technical Field

The disclosure belongs to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and particularly provides mopping equipment.

Background

The existing electric mop is generally of a double-rotating-disc type, namely, the electric mop is provided with two rotating discs which are distributed in parallel, and each rotating disc is adhered with a soft mop by magic tapes. When the electric mop works, the motor in the electric mop can drive the rotating disc to rotate, and then the mop cloth is driven to clean the ground.

However, since the weight of the electric mop itself is fixed and the friction coefficient of the mop cloth with the floor is also fixed, the friction force between the mop cloth and the floor is also fixed. Meanwhile, due to the large area of the mop cloth, after the pressure applied to the ground by the electric mop is evenly divided on the mop cloth with a large area, the actual friction force applied to the ground (actually, the friction force applied to the unit area of the ground) is often insufficient, and the stubborn stains on the ground are difficult to clean.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood by those skilled in the art as appropriate.

In a first embodiment of the present disclosure:

as shown in fig. 1, the floor mopping apparatus of the present embodiment includes a floor mopping head assembly 100 and a lever 200, wherein the floor mopping head assembly 100 is used to implement a floor mopping function; the lever 200 is provided at the top of the floor mopping head assembly 100 and pivotally connected to the top of the floor mopping head assembly 100, and the lever 200 is used for a user to hold, thereby allowing the user to control the floor mopping apparatus to perform a floor mopping operation. In addition, one skilled in the art may fixedly couple the floor head assembly 100 and the operating lever 200 together as needed.

As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the mopping head assembly 100 mainly includes a housing 101, a first mopping member 102, a second mopping member 103, a lifting device 104, a driving motor 105, and a battery 106. Wherein the housing 101 is pivotally connected to the operation lever 200 through the top thereof, and the first and

second mopping members

102 and 103 are disposed at the bottom of the housing 101. The lifting device 104 is disposed on the housing 101 and is in driving connection with the second mopping member 103, so that the lifting device 104 can drive the second mopping member 103 to move relative to the housing 101 (when the second mopping member is lifted relative to the first mopping member) along a direction perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned (up-down direction shown in fig. 4), thereby making the second mopping member 103 approach or separate from the housing 101 (preferably approach or separate from the top of the housing 101). A drive motor 105 is provided on the housing 101 and is drivingly connected to the second mopping member 103 and is therefore capable of driving the second mopping member 103 in rotation. The battery 106 is disposed inside the housing 101 and electrically connected to the driving motor 105 to supply power to the driving motor 105 to rotate the driving motor 105.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the housing 101 includes an upper housing 1011 and a lower housing 1012, and the upper housing 1011 and the lower housing 1012 are fixedly connected together in a detachable manner, which includes screw connection, snap connection, adhesion, and the like. Further, the upper housing 1011 and the lower housing 1012 may be integrally formed as needed by those skilled in the art. As shown in fig. 4, the top of the upper housing 1011 is provided with a protrusion 10111 and a stopper rib 10112, and both the protrusion 10111 and the stopper rib 10112 serve to limit the lifting stroke of the lifting device 104. The bottom end of the lower housing 1012 is formed with a recess (not shown) for receiving the second mopping member 103.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first mopping member 102 is fixedly connected with the lower housing 1012, and preferably, the first mopping member 102 is fixedly connected with the lower housing 1012 through a magic tape. Alternatively, one skilled in the art may attach the first floor member 102 to the lower housing 1012 in any other suitable manner, such as by screwing, bonding, snapping, etc., as desired. Further, a circular abdicating hole 1021 is provided at the geometric center of the first mopping member 102, and the abdicating hole 1021 is used for accommodating the second mopping member 103.

Further, although not shown in the figures, the first mop member 102 of this embodiment comprises a fixed structure and a first mop swab fixedly connected to the fixed structure. The first mopping member 102 is fixedly coupled to the lower housing 1012 by the fastening structure. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the securing structure may be any feasible structure, such as an L-shaped plate structure or a U-shaped plate structure.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, the second mopping member 103 is a circular plate-shaped structure, is located radially inside the abdicating hole 1021, and is axially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 105. In particular, the second mopping member 103 comprises a second rotating disc (not shown) fixedly connected with a rotating shaft of the driving motor 105 and a second mop cloth (not shown), which is fixedly connected with the second rotating disc.

Further, in this embodiment, the hardness of the second mop is greater than the hardness of the first mop, so that the coefficient of friction between the second mop and the ground is greater than the coefficient of friction between the first mop and the ground, and further the frictional force between the second mop and the ground is greater than the frictional force between the first mop and the ground, thereby making it easier for the second mop to clean stubborn stains on the ground.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the lifting device 104 is disposed inside the housing 101, and includes a lifting motor 1041, a driving member 1042, a spring 1043, and a screw 1044. The housing of the lifting motor 1041 is fixedly connected to the upper housing 1011, and the rotating shaft of the lifting motor 1041 is fixedly connected to the driving member 1042. The rotation of the lifting motor 1041 can drive the rotation of the driving member 1042, thereby forcing the driving motor 105 to move from the position shown in fig. 4 and 5 to the position shown in fig. 6 and 7, and thus at least a portion of the second floor-mopping member 103 can protrude from the abdicating hole 1021. A spring 1043 is axially disposed between drive motor 105 and lower housing 1012, spring 1043 being capable of providing an upward force to drive motor 105 to thereby enable drive motor 105 to move from the position shown in fig. 6 and 7 to the position shown in fig. 4 and 5. A screw 1044 passes through the spring 1043 to prevent the spring 1043 from bending in a radial direction.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, when the driving member 1042 is in a horizontal state by the lifting motor 1041, the driving member 1042 abuts against the bottom of the limiting rib 10112, the driving motor 105 and the second floor mopping member 103 move to the top under the action of the spring 1043, and the second floor mopping member 103 retracts into the abdicating hole 1021 in the axial direction.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, when the driving member 1042 is in a vertical state by the lifting motor 1041, the driving member 1042 abuts against the right side surface of the limiting rib 10112, the top end of the driving member 1042 abuts against the protruding structure 10111, the bottom end of the driving member 1042 abuts against the top end of the driving motor 105, and thus the driving motor 105 and the second ground dragging member 103 are pushed to the lower side, so that the second ground dragging member 103 axially extends out of the abdicating hole 1021.

As can be understood by those skilled in the art, by abutting the top end of the driving member 1042 against the protruding structure 10111 and abutting the bottom end of the driving member 1042 against the top end of the driving motor 105, the driving member 1042 can directly transmit the force applied by the driving motor 105 to the lifting motor 1041 to the protruding structure 10111, so as to reduce or avoid the radial force applied to the lifting motor 1041, thereby effectively avoiding the situation that the lifting motor 1041 is damaged.

It will also be understood by those skilled in the art that the driving member 1042 may be any other feasible structure, such as a cam, besides the rod-like structure shown in fig. 4 and 5, provided that the up-and-down movement of the driving motor 105 can be realized.

With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, the drive motor 105 is inserted into a motor mounting hole (not shown) formed in the lower housing 1012, which allows the lift motor 1041 to move in the axial direction, and which prohibits the lift motor 1041 from moving in the radial direction. In an assembled state, the screw 1044 is screwed with the housing of the driving motor 105 after passing through a screw mounting hole (not shown) formed in the lower housing 1012, and the screw 1044 is movable in an axial direction with respect to the lower housing 1012.

As shown in fig. 4, a battery 106 is disposed inside the housing 101 and electrically connected to the driving motor 105 and the lift motor 104, respectively, to supply electric power to the driving motor 105 and the lift motor 104.

The operation principle of the floor mopping device of the present embodiment will be briefly described with reference to fig. 4 to 7.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in a normal state, the second mopping member 103 is located axially inside the abdicating hole 1021. In other words, the mopping apparatus in this state can only clean the floor by the first mopping member 102 abutting against the floor.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when cleaning stubborn dirt is required, the second mopping member 103 axially extends out of the abdicating hole 1021. In other words, the mopping apparatus in this state can provide a large frictional force to the floor surface only by the second mopping member 103 abutting against the floor surface (because the second mopping member 103 is harder and has a smaller area than the first mopping member 102), and perform a cleaning operation on the floor surface.

As shown in fig. 4 to 7, when a user needs to clean stubborn dirt, the user operates a control button disposed on the floor mopping device to make the lifting motor 1041 drive the driving member 1042 to rotate counterclockwise from the position in fig. 5 to the position in fig. 7. In this process, the driving member 1042 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 1043 under the action of the torque of the lifting motor 1041, and forces the driving motor 105 to move downward until the driving member 1042 abuts against the limiting rib 10112.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the limiting rib 10112 can also enable the driving member 1042 to maintain the state shown in fig. 7 when being acted by the driving motor 105, thereby ensuring the reliability of the floor mopping device in operation.

With continued reference to fig. 4 to 7, when the floor sweeping apparatus is required to return to the normal state, the user operates the control button provided on the floor sweeping apparatus again, so that the lifting motor 1041 drives the driving member 1042 to rotate clockwise from the position in fig. 7 to the position in fig. 5. In the process, the spring 1043 forces the driving motor 105 to move upward until the driving member 1042 abuts against the bottom end of the limiting rib 10112.

In order to ensure that the driving member 1042 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to a position, the rotation angle of the lifting motor 1041 and the driving member 1042 can be determined by controlling the rotation speed and the rotation time of the lifting motor 1041, so as to determine whether the driving member 1042 rotates to a position. Alternatively, a micro switch may be disposed in the housing 101, and when the driving member 1042 triggers the micro switch, it can be determined that the driving member 1042 rotates to the position.

Based on the foregoing description, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the floor mopping apparatus of the present embodiment can drive the second floor mopping member 103 to move up and down through the lifting device 104, so as to selectively contact the second floor mopping member 103 with the ground, or clean stubborn dirt, or normally mop the ground. In addition, the second mopping member 103 of the present embodiment has a small structure, which not only can clean stubborn dirt at a fixed point, but also can reduce the size of the mopping device. Further, since the mopping device of the present embodiment only needs the second mopping member 103 to rotate when cleaning stubborn stains, the electric energy consumed by the mopping device of the present embodiment is small, and the battery 106 can be made smaller, so that the production cost of the mopping device of the present embodiment can be reduced, the size of the mopping device of the present embodiment can be reduced, and the mopping device of the present embodiment is convenient for users to use.

In a second embodiment of the disclosure:

as shown in fig. 8 to 10, in the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment described above, the first mopping member 102 is provided in a circular disc-shaped structure, and the first mopping member 102 is rotatable with respect to the housing 101, and the first mopping member 102 and the second mopping member 103 can be drivingly connected together. Further, the first mop member 102 includes a first rotating disk (not labeled) disposed at the bottom of the housing 101 and a first mop (not labeled) disposed at the bottom of the first rotating disk. The method comprises the following specific steps:

as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the housing 101 is also adapted to be circular, provided that the first mopping member 102 is arranged in a circular disc-like configuration.

As shown in fig. 10 to 13, the first mopping member 102 is coaxially disposed with the driving motor 105, and the first mopping member 102 and the lower housing 1012 are rotatably coupled together. A plurality of rollers 107 are also disposed between the first mopping member 102 and the lower housing 1012, and the plurality of rollers 107 are used for supporting the first mopping member 102 to rotate, so as to prevent the first mopping member 102 from being damaged when being subjected to a large moment. Further, a roller bracket (not shown) is provided on a side of the first mopping member 102 facing the housing 101, and the roller bracket is used for mounting the roller 107. Alternatively, the roller bracket may be provided on the lower housing 1012 as needed by those skilled in the art.

As shown in fig. 11, 13 and 14, a first engaging structure 1022 is disposed in the abdicating hole 1021, and the first engaging structure 1022 is disposed between the sidewall and the bottom wall of the abdicating hole 1021, or a person skilled in the art may also dispose the first engaging structure 1022 on the sidewall or the bottom wall of the abdicating hole 1021 as required. The circumferential surface of the second mopping member 103 is provided with a second engagement structure 1031 matched with the first engagement structure 1022. The first and

second engagement structures

1022 and 1031 can engage with or disengage from each other as the second floor-mopping member 103 is lifted.

As shown in fig. 11, when the second floor member 103 is retracted axially into the abdicating hole 1021, the second floor member 103 is in the first position state, the first and

second engagement structures

1022 and 1031 interfere with each other in the circumferential direction of the second floor member 103, so that the second floor member 103 can drive the first floor member 102 to rotate through the interfering first and

second engagement structures

1022 and 1031 during rotation.

As shown in fig. 13, when the second mopping member 103 axially extends out of the relief hole 1021, the second mopping member 103 is in the second position state, the first engagement structure 1022 and the second engagement structure 1031 are disengaged from each other, do not interfere with each other in the circumferential direction of the second mopping member 103, and cannot be engaged together. At this time, the driving motor 105 can only drive the second mopping member 103 to rotate independently.

As can be understood by those skilled in the art, compared with the floor mopping device in the first embodiment, the floor mopping device in this embodiment can simultaneously drive the two floor mopping members to rotate by one driving motor 105, so that the floor mopping device in a normal state can contact with the ground by the first floor mopping member 102 to perform large-area floor mopping operation on the ground, and the floor mopping device in a state of cleaning stubborn stains can contact with the ground by the second floor mopping member 103 to perform fixed-point floor mopping operation on the ground, thereby not only having a compact structure, but also optimizing the use experience of a user.

In a third embodiment of the present disclosure:

although not shown in the drawings, unlike the first embodiment, the present embodiment omits the driving motor 105 and enables the lifting device 104 to directly drive the second mopping member 103 to move up and down, so that neither the first mopping member 102 nor the second mopping member 103 may rotate. Illustratively, the drive motor 105 is replaced with a slider, and the structure and the positional relationship and the connection relationship between the slider and other members are made the same as those between the drive motor 105 and other members in the foregoing first embodiment.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the mopping apparatus of the present embodiment can further reduce the volume, weight and production cost compared to the mopping apparatus of the first embodiment.

In a fourth embodiment of the disclosure:

although not shown in the drawings, in the present embodiment, unlike the first, second or third embodiments, a person skilled in the art may also make the lower end surface of the second mopping member 103 axially retracted into the abdicating hole 1021 flush with the lower end surface of the first mopping member 102 as required.

So far, the technical solutions of the present disclosure have been described in connection with the foregoing embodiments, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to only these specific embodiments. The technical solutions in the above embodiments can be split and combined, and equivalent changes or substitutions can be made on related technical features by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical principles of the present disclosure, and any changes, equivalents, improvements, and the like made within the technical concept and/or technical principles of the present disclosure will fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
