The tank body 900 may include a dust collection chamber 670 and a water storage chamber 800, and the water storage chamber 800 is substantially disposed on the outer side of the dust collection chamber 670 in a semi-enclosing manner; the dust collection chamber 670 and the tank body 900 share at least two adjacent side walls, the side walls shared by the dust collection chamber 670 and the tank body 900 may include a first side wall 100 and a second side wall 300, the first side wall 100 is provided with a dust inlet 20, and the second side wall 300 is provided with an air outlet; the water storage chamber 800 and the tank body 900 share at least two adjacent side walls, and the side walls shared by the water storage chamber 800 and the tank body 900 may include a third side wall 420 and a fourth side wall 430; and when the tank body 900 is assembled on the cleaning device 600, the fourth side wall 430 forms a part of the outer side surface of the cleaning device 600.
According to the accommodating appliance provided by the present disclosure, the dust box (i.e., the dust collection box in the related art or the dust collection chamber 670 in the present disclosure) and the water tank (i.e., the water storage chamber 800 in the present disclosure) are integrally designed and are moved simultaneously during disassembly and mounting, which solves the problem of cumbersome operation caused by separate removal and mounting of the existing cleaning water tank and dust box. Moreover, during use, the positions of the dust box and the water tank can be designed based on the positions of the fan and the mop in the cleaning device; and the accommodating appliance has the advantages of various functions, fewer components, low costs, simple assembly, high space utilization, and the like.
In some embodiments, the tank body 900 may include a tank cover 910, a side wall 812, and a tank bottom 930. The tank cover 910 is substantially parallel to the tank bottom 930.

FIG. 9 shows a schematic diagram of a dust collection chamber according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which shows a direction of an airflow moving in a dust collection chamber when an automatic cleaning device performs a cleaning operation. FIG. 10 shows a schematic diagram of a dust collection chamber according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which shows a direction of an airflow moving in the dust collection chamber when an automatic cleaning device returns to a dust collection pile for dust collection. FIG. 11 shows a schematic diagram of a dust collection chamber according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, in which a relative angular relationship between side walls is indicated. As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, in some embodiments, the water storage chamber 800 and the dust collection chamber 670 share at least one side wall, and the side wall shared by the water storage chamber 800 and the dust collection chamber 670 may include a fifth side wall 200. One end of the fifth side wall 200 is connected to the first side wall 100, the other end of the fifth side wall is connected to the second side wall 300, and the fifth side wall 200 is disposed opposite to the first side wall 100. When the cleaning device is in a first state, debris entering the dust collection chamber through the dust inlet collides with the fifth side wall.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, in some embodiments, the dust collection chamber 670 may also include a sixth side wall 400. One end of the sixth side wall 400 is connected to the fifth side wall 200, and the other end of the sixth side wall is connected to the first side wall 100.
In some embodiments, the included angle between the sixth side wall 400 and the first side wall 100 is less than or equal to 90 degrees. The air sucked in through a first air inlet 30 forms an annular cyclone, which can more effectively take away the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10, without dead corners for garbage remaining compared with the original rectangular dust box, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
In some embodiments, the dust collection chamber 670 may also include a seventh side wall 500, and the seventh side wall 500 is disposed between the fifth side wall 200 and the second side wall 300.
In some embodiments, the junction between the seventh side wall 500 and the fifth side wall 200 is configured as a rounded corner. The first turn encountered by the airflow entering the dust collection cavity 10 through the first air inlet 30 is at the junction between the seventh side wall 500 and the fifth side wall 200. Therefore, the junction is configured as a rounded corner, which makes it easier for the airflow to form an annular cyclone and effectively reduces the loss of the kinetic energy of the airflow. As a result, the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10 can be taken away more effectively without dead corners for garbage remaining, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
In some embodiments, the first side wall 100, the sixth side wall 400, the fifth side wall 200, the seventh side wall 500, and the second side wall 300 are sequentially connected; the first side wall 100, the sixth side wall 400, the fifth side wall 200, the seventh side wall 500, and the second side wall 300 defines the dust collection cavity 10 in an enclosing manner; the first side wall 100 is provided with a dust inlet 20; the fifth side wall 200 is disposed opposite to the first side wall 100; the second side wall 300 is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet is provided with a filter screen 310; and one end of the second side wall 300 away from the fifth side wall 200 is connected to the first side wall 100, the included angle between the second side wall 300 and the first side wall 100 is a first included angle α1, and the first included angle di is greater than 90 degrees. According to the dust collection chamber 670 of the present disclosure, under the action of the dust suction fan 660, when garbage enters the dust collection cavity 10 through the dust inlet 20, the garbage continues moving straight due to inertia and impacts on the fifth side wall 200, and then directly settles at the bottom of the dust box under the action of gravity, while air is discharged from the robot through the air outlet. The present disclosure utilizes the principle of gravity for dust removal, and the included angle between the first side wall 100 and the second side wall 300 is greater than 90 degrees, forming an obtuse angle. The impact point of the garbage on the second side wall 300 can be at a certain distance from the filter screen, thereby avoiding the influence on the service life of the filter screen and the dust suction efficiency caused by the garbage adhering to the filter screen.
In some embodiments, the accommodating appliance may also include a notched space 950. The notched space 950 is disposed adjacent to the dust collection chamber 670, and the side wall of the notched space 950 is provided with the first air inlet 30. When the cleaning device 600 is in a second state, air is introduced into the dust collection chamber 670 through the first air inlet 30.
In some embodiments, one end of the tank body 900 close to the tank bottom 930 is provided with a notched space 950 with an opening, and the notched space 950 is located at one end away from the fourth side wall 430 and the second side wall 300. The side wall of the notched space 950 close to the dust collection chamber 670 is a part of the sixth side wall 400, and the sixth side wall 400 in the notched space 950 is provided with the first air inlet 30.
In some embodiments, the accommodating appliance may also include a check valve assembly. The check valve assembly is disposed at the first air inlet 30. When the cleaning device 600 is in the second state, the check valve assembly is opened, such that the air inflow direction is substantially parallel to the plane on which the fifth side wall 200 is located. A check valve assembly is disposed at a position where the side wall at one end of the notched space 950 close to the dust collection chamber 670 coincides with the sixth side wall 400. When the check valve assembly is in a closed state (or the first state), the notched space 950 and the dust collection chamber 670 are isolated from each other; and in response to an external force applied to the check valve assembly being greater than a threshold (i.e., the second state), the check valve assembly is switched from the closed state to an open state, such that the notched space 950 and the dust collection chamber 670 are in communication with each other.
In some embodiments, the check valve assembly may include an air suction baffle 410 disposed at the first air inlet 30, and the air suction baffle 410 is rotatably connected to the sixth side wall 400.
In some embodiments, when the dust collection chamber 670 is in the first state, that is, when the automatic cleaning device is in a non-dust collection state, the air suction baffle 410 covers the first air inlet 30.
In some embodiments, when the dust collection chamber 670 is in the second state, that is, when the automatic cleaning device returns to the dust collection pile and is in a dust collection state, the air suction baffle 410 is opened. The dust collection chamber 670 is placed at a position corresponding to the self-propelled cleaning device 600, the dust inlet 20 corresponds to the dust collection fan 723 of the dust collection charging pile 700, and the dust collection fan 723 and the dust suction fan 660 operate simultaneously. Due to the negative pressure within the dust collection cavity 10, the air suction baffle 410 is opened, the airflow enters through the first air inlet 30 and flows toward the seventh side wall 500 in a direction parallel to the fifth side wall 200, and the wind direction changes upon encountering the seventh side wall 500. Since the wind force of the dust collection fan 723 is greater than the wind force of the dust suction fan 660, the air sucked in forms an annular cyclone, which can more effectively take away the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10, without dead corners for garbage remaining compared with the original rectangular dust box, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
In some embodiments, one end of the tank body 900 close to the tank bottom 930 is provided with a notched space 950 with an opening, and the side wall at one end of the notched space 950 close to the dust collection chamber 670 partially coincides with the sixth side wall 400. A check valve assembly is disposed at a position where the side wall at one end of the notched space 950 close to the dust collection chamber 670 coincides with the sixth side wall 400. When the check valve assembly is in the closed state, the notched space 950 and the dust collection chamber 670 are isolated from each other; and in response to an external force applied to the check valve assembly being greater than a threshold, the check valve assembly is switched from the closed state to the open state, such that the notched space 950 and the dust collection chamber 670 are in communication with each other. The check valve assembly is disposed in the accommodating appliance, and the air duct in the dust collection chamber 670 can be controlled by switching the check valve assembly between the closed state and the open state, such that the garbage in the dust box space is conveyed to the outside under the action of the fluid in the air duct, thereby achieving dust collection.
In some embodiments, the included angle between the first side wall 100 and the second side wall 300 is greater than 90 degrees. The included angle between the second side wall 300 and the first side wall 100 is a first included angle α1, and the first included angle α1 is greater than 90 degrees. The included angle formed between the second side wall 300 and the first side wall 100 and close to one side of the dust collection cavity 10 is the first included angle α1.
In some embodiments, the included angle between the fifth side wall 200 and the first side wall 100 is a second included angle α2, and the second included angle α2 is less than 90 degrees. The included angle formed between the extension line of the fifth side wall 200 and the extension line of the first side wall 100 and close to one side of the dust collection cavity 10 is the second included angle α2. In order to ensure that, during dust suction, garbage entering the dust collection cavity 10 can impact on the fifth side wall 200, lose forward kinetic energy, and directly settle at the bottom of the dust box under the action of gravity, the second included angle α2 is less than 90 degrees.
In some embodiments, when the air suction baffle 410 is opened, the air suction baffle 410 and the sixth side wall 400 form a third included angle α3. The included angle formed between the air suction baffle 410 and the sixth side wall 400 and away from the first side wall 100 is the third included angle α3.
In some embodiments, when the air suction baffle 410 is opened, the air suction direction is parallel to the plane on which the fifth side wall 200 is located and faces the second side wall 300.
In some embodiments, the third included angle α3 and the second included angle α2 are complementary to each other. The first angle is defined as 90 degrees minus the second included angle α2. The third included angle α3 is less than or equal to the first angle. The airflow sucked into the dust collection cavity 10 is close to the fifth side wall 200, and rebounds from the fifth side wall 200 or the second side wall 300 to form an annular cyclone, which can more effectively take away the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10, without dead corners for garbage remaining compared with the original rectangular dust box, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
When the air suction baffle 410 is parallel to the fifth side wall 200, the third included angle α3 and the second included angle are complementary to each other. When the third included angle α3 is greater than the first angle, the airflow direction is more biased to the direction of the second side wall 300. When the third included angle α3 is less than the first angle, the airflow direction is more biased to the direction of the fifth side wall 200.
In the case that the airflow direction is biased to the direction of the fifth side wall 200, an annular cyclone can be formed.
In practical applications,
Scenario 1: Dust suction: In the scenario 1, during a sweeping process of the self-propelled cleaning device 600, the dust collection chamber 670 is placed at a corresponding position of the self-propelled cleaning device 600, and the dust suction fan 660 in the self-propelled cleaning device 600 sucks air at one end of the filter screen 310 away from the dust collection cavity 10. The power of the dust suction fan 660 is insufficient to open the air suction baffle 410. In this case, the air suction baffle 410 is closed. Due to the suction force of the dust suction fan 660, the cleaned garbage follows the airflow, entering the dust collection cavity 10 through the dust inlet 20. The garbage continues moving straight due to inertia and impacts on the fifth side wall 200, then loses forward kinetic energy, and directly settles at the bottom of the dust box under the action of gravity. Air is discharged from the self-propelled cleaning device 600 through the air outlet, while the garbage is left in the dust collection cavity 10.
In some embodiments, the first state includes the dust suction state in the above scenario 1 (i.e., a state when the automatic cleaning robot performs cleaning) and a non-operating state of the cleaning device 600.
Scenario 2: Dust collection: In the scenario 2, when the self-propelled cleaning device 600 returns to the dust collection charging pile 700 (for charging, water replenishment, water changing, or dust collection), the dust collection chamber 670 is placed at a corresponding position of the self-propelled cleaning device 600, the dust inlet 20 corresponds to the dust collection fan 723 of the dust collection charging pile 700, and the dust collection fan 723 and the dust suction fan 660 operate simultaneously. Due to the negative pressure within the dust collection cavity 10, the air suction baffle 410 is opened, the airflow enters through the first air inlet 30 and flows toward the seventh side wall 500 in a direction parallel to the fifth side wall 200, and the wind direction changes upon encountering the seventh side wall 500. Since the wind force of the dust collection fan 723 is greater than the wind force of the dust suction fan 660, the air sucked in forms an annular cyclone, which can more effectively take away the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10, without dead corners for garbage remaining compared with the original rectangular dust box, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
In some embodiments, the second state includes the dust collection state in the above scenario 2. That is, a state in which the automatic cleaning robot is on the dust collection charging pile 700 and transfers the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10 to a dust collection container in the dust collection charging pile 700.
In some embodiments, the top plate 811 in the dust collection cavity 10 is provided with a flow guide groove. For example, the flow guide groove may be in an annular shape, a spiral shape, or the like. Optionally, one end of the flow guide groove close to the fifth side wall 200 is consistent with the air suction direction and is located above the air suction airflow. Preferably, there are a plurality of flow guide grooves, and the plurality of flow guide grooves are disposed in parallel. The outermost inlet of the flow guide groove is disposed above the air suction baffle 410. By providing the flow guide groove in the dust collection cavity 10, the airflow sucked into the dust collection cavity 10 can move in the direction of the flow guide groove to a certain extent, such that the airflow sucked into the dust collection cavity 10 forms an annular cyclone. As a result, the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10 can be taken away more effectively without dead corners for garbage remaining compared with the original rectangular dust box, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
FIG. 12 shows a schematic diagram of a dust collection chamber according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, which shows a direction of an airflow moving in a dust collection chamber when an automatic cleaning device performs a cleaning operation. As shown in FIG. 12, in some embodiments, the fifth side wall is provided with a dust blocking part 510, and the dust blocking part 510 extends in the direction of the dust inlet 20.
In some embodiments, the corners of the inner wall of the dust collection cavity 10 may all be rounded corners. When the airflow entering the dust collection cavity 10 through the first air inlet 30 encounters a turn, the kinetic energy of the airflow is reduced. Therefore, the rounded corner is provided, which makes it easier for the airflow to form an annular cyclone and effectively reduces the loss of the kinetic energy of the airflow. As a result, the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10 can be taken away more effectively without dead corners for garbage remaining, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency.
In some embodiments, the projection of the fifth side wall 200 in the direction of the first side wall 100 is within the range of the first side wall 100. The distance between the fifth side wall 200 and the second side wall 300 may be increased, that is, the impact point of the sucked garbage on the fifth side wall 200 can be at a certain distance from the filter screen, thereby avoiding the influence on the service life of the filter screen and the dust collection efficiency caused by the garbage adhering to the filter screen.
In some embodiments, the tank cover 910 is perpendicular to the first side wall 100, the fifth side wall 200, the second side wall 300, the sixth side wall 400, the side wall 812, and the seventh side wall 500. During the use of the self-propelled cleaning device 600, the tank cover 910 faces upward.
In some embodiments, the tank bottom 930 is perpendicular to the first side wall 100, the fifth side wall 200, the second side wall 300, the sixth side wall 400, the side wall 812, and the seventh side wall 500. During the use of the self-propelled cleaning device 600, the tank bottom 930 faces upward.
FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a water storage chamber according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the water storage chamber 800 may include: a box body 810. The box body 810 may include a top plate 811, a side wall 812, and a bottom plate 813. The internal space of the box body 810 is provided with a water storage cavity 814, the top plate 811 is provided with a water injection port 8111, and the water injection port 8111 is configured to inject water into the water storage cavity 814. The top plate 811 is a part of the tank cover 910, and the bottom plate 813 is a part of the tank bottom 930.
FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a water storage chamber according to some other embodiments of the present disclosure, which shows the direction of a cleaning solution flowing through a U-shaped water outlet pipeline. As shown in FIG. 14, in some embodiments, a U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is disposed in the box body 810, the water inlet 8151 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is disposed at one end close to the bottom plate 813 and is in communication with the water storage cavity 814, and the water outlet 8152 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is disposed at one end close to the bottom plate 813. According to the water storage chamber 800 of the present disclosure, a U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is disposed in the water storage chamber 800. When a cleaning solution is required, air is pumped into the water tank 800, and the cleaning solution enters through the water inlet 8151 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 disposed at the bottom of the water storage chamber 800 and then flows out through the water outlet 8152. The cleaning solution in the water tank 800 flows out through the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, so the cleaning solution does not flow out by itself.
In practical applications, the water storage chamber 800 is mounted on the automatic cleaning device, and then the cleaning solution is injected into the water storage cavity 814 through the water injection port 8111 (or the water storage chamber 800 is mounted on the automatic cleaning device after the cleaning solution is injected into the water storage cavity 814 through the water injection port 8111). It should be noted that in the process of mounting the water storage chamber 800 on the automatic cleaning device and in the operating process of the automatic cleaning device, the top plate 811 faces upward, and the bottom plate 813 faces downward. When the automatic cleaning device requires a cleaning solution for cleaning, the air pump 820 is activated to pump air into the water storage cavity 814 through the air pump tube 821. In this case, the pressure of the air portion in the box body 810 is greater than the external pressure, such that the cleaning solution enters through the water inlet 8151 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and flows out through the water outlet 8152 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and finally acts on a cleaning roller brush of the automatic cleaning device.
FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of a U-shaped water outlet pipeline according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in FIG. 15, in some embodiments, the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 may include: a first pipeline 8153, a second pipeline 8154, and a third pipeline 8155 connected end to end in sequence. The water inlet 8151 is disposed at one end of the first pipeline 8153 close to the bottom plate 813, and the water outlet 8152 is disposed at a junction between the third pipeline 8155 and the bottom plate 813. The first pipeline 8153 is a first segment of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 (i.e., the first vertical pipe of the U shape), and extends from the water inlet 8151 near the bottom plate 813 toward the top plate 811; the second pipeline 8154 is a second segment of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 (i.e., a pipeline connecting the first vertical pipe and the second vertical pipe in the U shape), and is connected from the water outlet end of the first pipeline 8153 to the water inlet end of the third pipeline 8155; and the third pipeline 8155 is a third segment of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 (i.e., the second vertical pipe of the U shape), and extends from the top plate 811 toward the water outlet 8152 near the bottom plate 813.
In practical applications, when the automatic cleaning device requires a cleaning solution for cleaning, the air pump 820 is activated to pump air into the water storage cavity 814 through the air pump tube 821. In this case, the pressure of the air portion in the box body 810 is greater than the external pressure, such that the cleaning solution enters from the water inlet 8151 of the first pipeline 8153 and flows through the first pipeline 8153; then enters the second pipeline 8154 from the water outlet end of the first pipeline 8153 and flows through the second pipeline 8154; then enters the third pipeline 8155 from the water outlet end of the second pipeline 8154, flows through the third pipeline 8155 and then flows out from the water outlet 8152, and finally acts on the cleaning roller brush of the automatic cleaning device.
In some embodiments, at least a part of the top of the second pipeline 8154 is of an open structure, and the tank cover 910 of the tank body 900 covers the top of the open structure.
In some embodiments, the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is only in communication with the water storage cavity 814 via the water inlet 8151.
In some embodiments, the linear distance between one end of the second pipeline 8154 close to the first pipeline 8153 and the top plate 811 is a first distance, the linear distance between one end of the second pipeline 8154 close to the third pipeline 8155 and the top plate 811 is a second distance, and the second distance is greater than the first distance.
If the top of the second pipeline 8154 is provided with an open structure, the high pressure of the air portion in the water storage cavity 814 cannot act on the second pipeline 8154. Therefore, gravity is relied upon here to allow the cleaning solution to flow from the water inlet end of the second pipeline 8154 to the water outlet end of the second pipeline 8154 (the third pipeline 8155). In practical applications, the top plate 811 faces upward, and the second distance is greater than the first distance, that is, the water inlet end of the second pipeline 8154 is higher than the water outlet end of the second pipeline 8154, such that the cleaning solution flows through the second pipeline 8154.
In some embodiments, one end of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 close to the top plate 811 is provided with a vent hole 8112. According to the structure of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 of the present disclosure, during use, since the cleaning solution forms a closed structure in the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, which creates a siphon effect, causing partial loss of the liquid in the water storage cavity 814, the formation of the vent hole 8112 can prevent the siphon effect. In an optional embodiment, the projection of the vent hole 8112 on the bottom plate 813 overlaps with the projection of the third pipeline 8155 on the bottom plate 813. In another optional embodiment, the vent hole 8112 is formed at a first position, the first position is located on one side of a second position away from the first pipeline 8153, and the first position is adjacent to the second position. The second position is the projection of the third pipeline 8155 on the top plate 811. In an optional embodiment, the top plate 811 may include a water baffle. The water baffle is located between the first position and the second position (or an adjacent position therebetween), and the water baffle is located on one side of the top plate 811 close to the bottom plate 813. It should be noted that the vent hole 8112 is configured to prevent the siphon effect; however, the cleaning solution is also likely to flow out from the vent hole 8112. Therefore, the water baffle is disposed between the vent hole 8112 and the third pipeline 8155 (the projection of the third pipeline on the top plate 811) to prevent the cleaning solution from flowing out from the vent hole 8112.
In some embodiments, the box body 810 may also include a vent hole 8112, the vent hole 8112 is formed on the top plate 811 of the box body 810, and the vent hole 8112 is in communication with the open structure.
In practical applications, since the cleaning solution forms a closed structure in the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, which creates a siphon effect, causing partial loss of the liquid in the water storage cavity 814, the formation of the vent hole 8112 can prevent the siphon effect.
FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram of a water distribution plate according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 16, in some embodiments, the accommodating appliance may also include a water distribution plate 960, the water distribution plate 960 is disposed on one side of the tank bottom 930 away from the tank cover 910, one side of the water distribution plate 960 close to the tank bottom 930 is provided with a water distribution pipeline 961, and the water inlet end of the water distribution pipeline 961 is in communication with the outlet of the water storage chamber 800.
In some embodiments, there are at least two water distribution pipelines 961, and water inlet ends of the two water distribution pipelines 961 are in communication with water outlet ends of at least two water channels of the third pipeline 8155 in a one-to-one correspondence manner.
In some embodiments, the water inlet end of the water distribution pipeline 961 is in communication with the water outlet end of at least one water channel of the third pipeline 8155.
In some embodiments, the water distribution plate 960 is also provided with a water distribution hole 962, and the water distribution hole 962 is configured to provide the cleaning solution to the cleaning roller brush.
In some embodiments, a water injection port 8111 is formed at a position on the tank cover 910 corresponding to the water storage chamber 800, and the water injection port 8111 is configured to inject water into the water storage chamber 800. A U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is disposed in the tank body 900, the water inlet 8151 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is disposed at one end close to the tank bottom 930 and is in communication with the water storage chamber 800, and the water outlet 8152 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815 is disposed at one end close to the tank bottom 930.
In some embodiments, the second pipeline 8154 and the third pipeline 8155 may include at least two water channels, and the water channels are in communication with the water outlet 8152.
The water outlet 8152 finally acts on the cleaning roller brush of the automatic cleaning device, and most cleaning roller brushes are strip-shaped. Therefore, by providing a plurality of water channels, water can be supplied at different positions of the cleaning roller brush, such that the cleaning solution on the cleaning roller brush is uniformly distributed.
It should be noted that the same effect can also be achieved by using one water channel and the existing liquid distribution device. However, considering the actual use of the automatic cleaning device, the cleaning solution on the cleaning roller brush may not be uniformly distributed when using one water channel and the liquid distribution device. During the use of the automatic cleaning device, the cleaning roller brush absorbs the cleaning solution. Therefore, the flow rate of the cleaning solution is required to be very slow. In the case that a liquid distribution device is employed, a greater amount of the cleaning solution flows out from the water outlet point close to the water outlet 8152 on the liquid distribution device, while a very small amount of or even no cleaning solution flows out from the water outlet point away from the water outlet 8152. In summary, according to the present disclosure, a plurality of water channels are used and simultaneously act on the cleaning roller brush to enable uniform distribution of the cleaning solution absorbed by the cleaning roller brush, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
In some embodiments, an electromechanical compartment 940 is also disposed in the tank body 900, and the electromechanical compartment 940 is configured to hold the air pump 820. When the automatic cleaning device requires a cleaning solution for cleaning, the air pump 820 is activated to pump air into the water storage cavity 814 through the air pump tube 821. In this case, the pressure of the air portion in the box body 810 is greater than the external pressure, such that the cleaning solution enters through the water inlet 8151 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and flows out through the water outlet 8152 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and finally acts on a cleaning roller brush of the automatic cleaning device.
It should be noted that even if the water storage chamber 800 leaks air or the water injection port 8111 is not tightly sealed, the liquid in the water storage cavity 814 does not flow out by itself, which would otherwise affect the operation of the automatic cleaning device.
In some embodiments, the electromechanical compartment 940 is disposed between the notched space 950 and the tank cover 910. That is, in the use state, the electromechanical compartment 940 is disposed above the notched space 95.
In some embodiments, an air pump 820 is disposed in the electromechanical compartment 940, and the air pump is disposed outside the box body 810. The air pump 820 is configured to pump air into the water storage cavity 814. When the automatic cleaning device requires a cleaning solution for cleaning, the air pump 820 is activated to pump air into the water storage cavity 814. In this case, the pressure of the air portion in the water storage cavity 814 is greater than the external pressure, such that the cleaning solution enters through the water inlet 8151 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and flows out through the water outlet 8152 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and finally acts on the cleaning roller brush of the automatic cleaning device.
In some embodiments, the side wall of the electromechanical compartment 940 is provided with a second air inlet 40, and the second air inlet 40 is configured to introduce air into the air pump 820.
In some embodiments, the second air inlet 40 is formed on the first side wall 100 of the electromechanical compartment 940.
In some embodiments, the air pump 820 may include an air pump tube 821. One end of the air pump tube 821 is connected to the air pump 820, and the other end of the air pump tube extends to be adjacent to the water inlet 8151. When the automatic cleaning device requires a cleaning solution for cleaning, the air pump 820 is activated to pump air into the water storage cavity 814 through the air pump tube 821. In this case, the pressure of the air portion in the water storage cavity 814 is greater than the external pressure, such that the cleaning solution enters through the water inlet 8151 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and flows out through the water outlet 8152 of the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815, and finally acts on the cleaning roller brush of the automatic cleaning device.
In some embodiments, the water storage chamber 800 may also include a water injection cover plate 830, and the water injection cover plate 830 is detachably connected to the top plate 811. When the cleaning solution needs to be injected into the water storage cavity 814, the water injection cover plate 830 is opened to inject the cleaning solution into the water storage cavity 814. After the injection, the water injection cover plate 830 is closed.
In some embodiments, one side of the water injection cover plate 830 close to the top plate 811 is provided with a sealing plug. When the water injection cover plate 830 is closed, the sealing plug seals the water injection port 8111. When the air pump 820 is used to provide air to the water storage cavity 814, the air portion in the water storage cavity 814 needs to be kept in a sealed state. Therefore, the sealed state of the water storage cavity 814 can be improved by using the sealing plug.
In some embodiments, the water storage chamber 800 may also include a vent hole baffle rotatably disposed at the vent hole 8112 and a water pump disposed at the water inlet 8151 and configured to pump the cleaning solution in the water storage chamber 800 into the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815. The vent hole baffle is disposed between the vent hole 8112 and the second pipeline 8154, and both the vent hole 8112 and the second pipeline 8154 are not closed when the vent hole baffle is in an open state or a closed state.
In some embodiments, the water storage chamber 800 may also include a water injection filter screen 840 disposed at the water injection port 8111 and configured to filter liquid entering the water storage cavity 814. When the cleaning solution needs to be injected into the water storage cavity 814, the water injection cover plate 830 is opened to inject the cleaning solution into the water storage cavity 814. The injected cleaning solution enters the water storage cavity 814 through the water injection filter screen 840, so as to prevent impurities in the cleaning solution from entering the water storage cavity 814, which would clog the U-shaped water outlet pipeline 815.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, in a second aspect, a self-propelled cleaning device 600 is provided. The self-propelled cleaning device may include the dust collection chamber 670 according to any one of the above technical solutions.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, in a third aspect, a self-propelled cleaning system is provided. The self-propelled cleaning system may include the self-propelled cleaning device 600 according to any one of the above technical solutions.
In some embodiments, the self-propelled cleaning system may also include a dust collection charging pile 700. The dust collection charging pile 700 is in response to the self-propelled cleaning device 600 according to any one of the above technical solutions, and the garbage in the dust collection chamber 670 of the self-propelled cleaning device 600 is collected into the dust collection container body of the dust collection charging pile 700 through the dust inlet 20.
In some embodiments, the dust collection charging pile 700 may include a dust collection fan 723. The dust collection fan 723 is configured to suck out the garbage in the dust collection cavity 10 through the dust inlet 20, and the suction force of the dust collection fan 723 is greater than the suction force of the dust suction fan 660.
The present disclosure is intended to protect an accommodating appliance, a self-propelled cleaning device, and a self-propelled cleaning system.
