In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiments without any creative work, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "comprises," or any other variation thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, and that a product or device comprising a set of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed or inherent in such product or device. Unless further qualified, the fact that a definition is made using the phrase "comprises one of," does not exclude the presence of other elements of the same type in the product or device of said element.

A cleaning device, such as a floor scrubber, typically includes a device housing divided into a device main body and a cleaning sheet main body. The device main body is equipped with a recovery water tank (e.g., a dirty water tank), a cleaning liquid tank (e.g., a clean water tank), and a main exhaust fan for suction. The cleaning sheet main body includes a cleaning roller brush for dragging and wiping. The cleaning roller brush may have one, two, or more cleaning roller brushes; to ensure cleaning efficiency, two cleaning roller brushes are generally provided. Clean cleaning liquid, such as clean water, is sprayed onto the threaded cleaning roller brush through a built-in water pipe. The cleaning roller brush rotates at high speed to mop and clean the floor surface. At the same time, the main exhaust fan creates negative pressure in the device air duct of the cleaning device, sucking in dirty water after surface cleaning through the cleaning device's suction port and pumping it to the dirty water tank. The dirty water return path also serves as part of the device air duct of the cleaning device.

After use, the cleaning device is typically returned to the column, where the cleaning roller brush is washed or dried. Drying of the cleaning roller brush is accomplished, for example, by air drying or heat drying.

Selective embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In related technology, the exhaust fan assembly of a cleaning device is typically located at the top of the device, posing a certain risk due to the suction force generated by the rotating impeller. Therefore, when a user is performing maintenance on the cleaning device, for example, when attaching or detaching a wastewater tank, the user is likely to accidentally touch the exhaust fan, causing an accident. Furthermore, installing a protective net around the periphery of the exhaust fan affects the airflow of the exhaust fan.

In contrast, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cleaning device in which the exhaust fan and wastewater tank are arranged facing each other in an approximately horizontal direction, preventing users from accidentally touching the exhaust fan when performing maintenance on the cleaning device, improving safe operation. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first air duct is bent to make the structural layout of the cleaning device more compact, saving space while lowering the center of gravity of the entire cleaning device. Bending the air duct also effectively reduces noise generated when the exhaust fan is operating, improving the user experience.

Specifically, the cleaning device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, for example, is shown in FIG. 1, which is a structural schematic diagram of a cleaning device provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning device 20, for example, a floor scrubber, includes a device housing divided into a cleaning sheet body 21, a device body 22, and a handle assembly 23. Here, the device body 22 is disposed above the cleaning sheet body 21 and is movably connected to the cleaning sheet body 21, for example, pivotally connected. The handle assembly 23 is connected to the end of the device body 22 remote from the cleaning sheet body 21 so that it can be operated and gripped by a user. The user grips the handle assembly 23 to operate the cleaning sheet body 21 to perform a cleaning task on a surface to be cleaned, such as a floor.

For ease of explanation, the following definitions are used: A floor cleaning machine can be calibrated by defining three mutually perpendicular axes: horizontal axis Y, front-to-rear axis X, and vertical axis Z. The direction indicated by the arrow along the front-to-rear axis X is labeled "forward," and the direction opposite to the arrow along the front-to-rear axis X is labeled "rear." The horizontal axis Y is essentially the width direction of the cleaning sheet body 21, and the direction indicated by the arrow along the horizontal axis Y is labeled "leftward," and the direction opposite to the arrow along the horizontal axis Y is labeled "rightward." The vertical axis Z is the direction extending upward along the bottom surface of the self-cleaning sheet body 21. As shown in FIG. 1, the direction extending from the handle assembly 23 to the device body 22 or the direction extending from the device body 22 to the handle assembly 23 is defined as the first direction, and the direction perpendicular to the first direction is defined as the second direction. Typically, when the cleaning device is in the stored state, as shown in FIG. 1, the first direction is approximately vertical and forms a small angle with the vertical axis Z, approximately parallel, for example, an angle of less than 15 degrees. The first direction is, for example, vertically upward or vertically downward, and the second direction is approximately horizontal and approximately parallel to the front-to-rear axis X or the lateral axis Y, for example, the left-to-right horizontal direction or the front-to-rear horizontal direction.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, substantially perpendicular means, for example, that the angle between the two directions is greater than or equal to 75 degrees and less than or equal to 105 degrees, e.g., 90 degrees. Extending substantially along one direction or substantially parallel means that the two directions are substantially parallel, e.g., an angle of less than 30 degrees (preferably less than 15 degrees).

In some embodiments, the device body 22 refers to the portion of the cleaning device between the cleaning sheet body 21 and the handle assembly 23, the device body 22 extending generally vertically, i.e., in the first direction, the handle assembly 23 connected to the upper end of the device body 22, the cleaning sheet body 21 connected to the lower end of the device body 22, the device body 22 pivotally connected to the cleaning sheet body 21, and the device body 22 rotatable relative to the cleaning sheet body 21, allowing the operating angle to be changed and the cleaning posture to be flexibly adjusted. The cleaning sheet body 21 includes a cleaning roller brush 211 at its bottom. Specifically, the number of cleaning roller brushes 211 may be one or more, for example, two, and the cleaning roller brushes 211 can rotate at high speed to mop and clean the floor surface.

In some embodiments, the cleaning device 20 further includes a power source, which generates a moving air flow within the cleaning device. This air flow is carried to the cleaning device 20 by the dirty water (which may include solid debris) on the surface to be cleaned and then collected. This air flow is defined as a recovered air flow and is also called a working air flow. The recovered air flow has an air flow path within the cleaning device 20 formed by an apparatus air duct, and the entire air flow path passes sequentially through at least the dirt suction port, dirt collection unit (e.g., a dirty water tank), and power source of the cleaning device 20. That is, the apparatus air duct includes at least the dirt suction port, dirt collection unit (e.g., a dirty water tank), and power source. Here, the dirt suction port is the inlet through which dirty water enters the cleaning device 20 and is also the air inlet of the apparatus air duct. Since the recovered air flow flowing out of the dirt collection unit does not contain dirty water, the air flow path from the dirt suction port to the dirt collection unit is defined as the recovery path.

Specifically, the power source may be a suction source such as an exhaust fan. The exhaust fan is installed in the device body 22 and circulates gas through the device air duct, forming a recovery air flow and providing suction power for wastewater recovery. The wastewater recovery pipe is connected to the dirt suction port and the wastewater tank 25 and forms part of the device air duct. Under the action of the suction force generated by the exhaust fan, wastewater is sucked into the wastewater tank 25 through the wastewater recovery pipe.

In some embodiments, the power source has an air inlet and an air outlet, and generates power to cause a recovered air flow to enter through the air inlet and exit through the air outlet. When the power source is a suction source, taking an exhaust fan as an example, the exhaust fan refers to an associated assembly consisting of at least an impeller for moving air, i.e., an exhaust fan product (typically including an impeller, a motor, corresponding drive control circuitry, and a housing for accommodating the device), an impeller and its drive motor, or just a specific impeller.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, as shown in Figure 1, the cleaning device 20, for example a floor scrubber, includes a clean water tank 26, a dirty water tank 25, an exhaust fan 273, and an apparatus air duct, where the exhaust fan 273 draws in gas to form a recovery air flow in the apparatus air duct, generating negative pressure and sucking dirty water from the surface to be cleaned (including dirt, if any, on the surface to be cleaned; hereinafter referred to as dirty water) into the dirty water tank.

The clean water tank 26 and the waste water tank 25 are both provided in the device main body 22, for example. In some embodiments, both are detachably connected to the device main body 22. In some embodiments, the clean water tank 26 and the waste water tank 25 are arranged along the first direction, for example, the clean water tank 26 is provided above the waste water tank 25. The clean water tank 26 is used to store a cleaning liquid, such as cleaning water, and can provide the cleaning liquid to the cleaning roller brush 211 and/or the surface to be cleaned via the clean water pipe to wet the surface of the cleaning roller brush 211, allowing the cleaning roller brush 211 to wet clean the surface to be cleaned. The waste water tank 25 is configured to store recovered waste water. When the cleaning roller brush 211 performs wet cleaning, waste water is generated on the surface to be cleaned, and the waste water (which may contain debris on the surface to be cleaned) is collected in the waste water tank 25 via the waste water collection pipe.

The exhaust fan 273 is provided in the device body 22 and is configured to circulate the recovered air flow through the device air duct and provide power for wastewater recovery. In some embodiments, the wastewater tank 25 is located on one side of the device body 22 and the exhaust fan 273 is located on the other side of the device body 22. In some embodiments, the exhaust fan 273 and wastewater tank 25 are arranged approximately along the second direction. By arranging the exhaust fan 273 and the wastewater tank 25 opposite each other in an approximately horizontal direction, when a user attaches or detaches the wastewater tank 25, the air inlet of the exhaust fan 273 is not directly connected to the air outlet of the wastewater tank 25. This means that the exhaust fan 273 does not affect user operation, and there is no need to provide a protective net around the exhaust fan 273 to protect the user but affect the air volume.

In some embodiments, the device air duct further includes a first air duct and a second air duct, where the first air duct connects the wastewater tank with the air inlet of the exhaust fan, and the second air duct connects the air outlet of the exhaust fan with the air outlet of the cleaning device. The length and shape of the first air duct and the second air duct are not limited and may be dedicated structural members or structural assemblies designed to perform the air duct function, or may be air ducts formed by spaces between components of the cleaning device.

2, the device air duct further includes a first air duct 241 and a second air duct 242, where the first air duct 241 connects the dirty water tank 25 with the air inlet 2731 of the exhaust fan 273, and the second air duct 242 extends substantially along the first direction of the device body 22 and connects the air outlet 2732 of the exhaust fan 273 with the air outlet 221 of the cleaning device. Here, the first air duct 241 is a curved air duct that can be curved and connects the dirty water tank 25 with the air inlet 2731 of the exhaust fan 273. Specifically, the air inlet of the first air duct 241 is connected to the wastewater tank 25, the first air duct 241 extends at its air inlet substantially along the second direction, and after extending a certain distance along the second direction, the first air duct 241 curves downward and extends substantially along the first direction, and the first air duct 241 extends along the first direction and is connected to the air inlet 2731 of the exhaust fan 273. In some embodiments, the first air duct 241 is curved at the curved portion from the first direction to the second direction, i.e., there is a smooth transition at the curved portion of the first air duct 241, and the resistance of the recovered air flow in the first air duct 241 is reduced without generating turbulence at the curved portion. The first air duct 241 is designed as a curved air duct, which allows the wastewater tank and exhaust fan to be arranged in an aligned manner, making the structural layout of the cleaning device more compact and saving space. At the same time, it lowers the center of gravity of the entire cleaning device, making it easier to grip and operate. The curved air duct can also reduce the noise generated by the recovered air flow to a certain extent, improving the user experience.

In some embodiments, the second air duct 242 communicates with the air outlet 2732 of the exhaust fan 273, and the recovered air flow from the air outlet 2732 of the exhaust fan 273 is discharged from the cleaning device through the second air duct 242. Alternatively, the second air duct may be formed by a gap between each component of the cleaning device, and the recovered air flow discharged from the air outlet 2732 of the exhaust fan 273 is discharged to the outside of the cleaning device through the second air duct formed by the gap between each component of the cleaning device. As an example, the second air duct 242 is provided between the exhaust fan 273 and the wastewater tank 25, and there is a narrow gap extending along the first direction between the exhaust fan 273 and the wastewater tank 25. The second air duct 242 extends from top to bottom along the first direction to near the cleaning sheet main body 21, and the recovered air flow is discharged from the outlet 222 at the bottom or lower part of the device main body 22.

2, the second air duct 242 is a curved air duct for connecting the air outlet 2732 of the exhaust fan 273 and the air outlet 221 of the cleaning device 20. The second air duct 242 is provided between the exhaust fan 273 and the wastewater tank 25, and there is a narrow gap extending along the first direction between the exhaust fan 273 and the wastewater tank 25. The second air duct 242 extends along the first direction to the vicinity of the cleaning sheet main body 21, then bends backward by a predetermined distance, before connecting with the air outlet 221 of the cleaning device. The cleaning device's air outlet 221 is located between the wastewater tank 25 and the exhaust fan 273. In some embodiments, the cleaning device's air outlet 221 has a plurality of through-holes extending substantially along the first direction and arranged on the side wall of the device body 22, forming, for example, a net structure. The recovered air flows through the through-holes of the net structure and is discharged to the outside of the side wall of the cleaning device. The through-holes of the net structure disperse the discharged air, preventing the humid recovered air discharged downward from wetting the surface to be cleaned and preventing dust from entering the inside of the cleaning device body. The second air duct 242 is designed to bend in an inverted manner near the cleaning sheet body 21, making the structural layout of the cleaning device more compact. The curved air duct can also reduce noise generated by the recovered air to a certain extent, improving the user experience.

In some embodiments, a noise reduction member is provided in at least one of the device air ducts, e.g., the first air duct and/or the second air duct, e.g., at the air duct inlet, the air duct outlet, or the air duct sidewall.

Regarding the flow path of the recovered air flow in the cleaning device 20, particularly the first air duct 241 and the second air duct 242, referring to Figure 7, when the exhaust fan 273 is activated, the recovered air flow sequentially passes through the cleaning sheet main body 21, the wastewater tank 25, and the first air duct 241, enters the exhaust fan air inlet 2731, and is discharged through the exhaust fan air outlet 2732. The discharged recovered air flow is then discharged to the outside of the cleaning device 20 through the second air duct 242 and the air outlet 221 of the cleaning device 20. Due to the layout structure of the exhaust fan 273 and the wastewater tank 25, after the recovered air flow is discharged from the air outlet of the wastewater tank 25, the overall flow direction is changed, for example, changed to the reverse direction. The overall flow direction here refers to the direction in which the recovered air flow is discharged from the start of the device air duct to the end of the device air duct. For example, the device channel through which the recovered air flow passes in the first half of the recovery path of the cleaning device 20 is called the front channel, and the device channel through which the recovered air flow passes in the second half of the recovery path is called the rear channel. The start of the front channel is located at the cleaning station. The front channel begins at the dirt suction port of the main body 21 and terminates at the air outlet of the dirty water tank 25, with the direction from the dirt suction port to the air outlet of the dirty water tank 25 being approximately a first direction away from the surface to be cleaned; the rear channel begins at the air inlet of the first air duct 241 and terminates at the air outlet 221 of the cleaning device 20, with the direction from the air inlet of the first air duct 241 to the air outlet 221 being approximately a first direction toward the surface to be cleaned; that is, the overall flow direction of the recovered air flow in the front channel is opposite to the overall flow direction of the recovered air flow in the rear channel.

In some embodiments, under the suction force generated by the exhaust fan 273, the recovered airflow enters the wastewater tank body 251 through the wastewater conduit 2511 and then enters the first air duct 241 through the air outlet at the top of the wastewater tank 251 (corresponding to the filtration assembly 2551 on the cover bracket 252). In some embodiments, the first support bracket 2521 is provided with a filtration window 2528, which may be provided with a mesh screen or other filtering material, so that the recovered airflow passes through the filtration window 2528 after entering the wastewater tank body 251 and then reaches the air outlet at the top of the wastewater tank. Filtration by the filtration window 2528 can reduce impurities carried by the recovered airflow and reduce damage to the exhaust fan 273. In some embodiments, a filtration assembly 2551 is provided at the end of the cover bracket 252 near the wastewater tank body, so that the recovered airflow passes through the filtration assembly 2551 before entering the first air duct 241. The filtration of the filtration assembly 2551 reduces impurities carried by the recovered airflow, reducing damage to the exhaust fan 273.

In the cleaning device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first air duct is designed to be curved, making the structural layout of the cleaning device more compact and space-saving, while at the same time lowering the center of gravity of the cleaning device, making it easier for the user to grip and operate. Furthermore, by changing the flow direction of the working air flow several times inside the cleaning device, noise generated during air flow can be reduced to a certain extent, improving the user experience.

Referring also to Figures 3 to 5, as shown in Figure 3, the wastewater tank 25 includes a wastewater tank body 251 and a cover bracket 252, where the wastewater tank body 251 is configured to contain collected wastewater, and the wastewater tank body 251 is fitted into at least the lower half of the cover bracket 252 and is detachably connected to the cover bracket 252. As shown in Figure 4, the wastewater tank body 251 includes a wastewater tank body opening 2513 and a wastewater tank body bottom surface 2514.

As shown in FIG. 4, the wastewater tank body 251 includes a wastewater pipe 2511 that extends along the bottom surface 2514 of the wastewater tank body toward the wastewater tank body opening 2513 and is positioned so that, under the action of the exhaust fan 273, wastewater in the cleaning roller brush 211 enters the wastewater tank body 251 through the wastewater pipe 2511. The wastewater tank body 251 further includes a protruding handle 2512 to facilitate operation when attaching or detaching the wastewater tank 251.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the cover bracket 252 includes a first support bracket 2521, a second support bracket 2522, and a third support bracket 2523, wherein the first support bracket 2521 extends along the vertical direction (first direction) of the wastewater tank body 251, the second support bracket 2522 extends at a predetermined angle to the first support bracket 2521, for example, extends along an approximately vertical direction (second direction), and the third support bracket 2523 extends at a predetermined angle to the first support bracket 2521, for example, extends along an approximately vertical direction (second direction), and the third support bracket 2523 and the second support bracket 2522 may have a symmetrical structure, for example, may be symmetrical on the axis of the first support bracket 2521 in the first direction. In some embodiments, the first support bracket 2521, the second support bracket 2522, and the third support bracket 2523 are a single-piece structure, and the transitions between the first support bracket 2521 and the second support bracket 2522, and between the first support bracket 2521 and the third support bracket 2523, may be made by smooth curves or corners. The first support bracket 2521, the second support bracket 2522, and the third support bracket 2523 form a generally U-shaped structure to improve the stability and strength of the cover bracket 252.

The cover bracket 252 further includes a first float and a second float, where the first float is provided on one side of the cover bracket 252, and the second float and the first float are provided symmetrically on the other side of the cover bracket 252. Specifically, the first float is provided on the second support bracket 2522, and the second float is provided on the third support bracket 2523, and both the first float and the second float can rotate between a first position and a second position.

6 primarily illustrates the relationship between the second float 2541 and its associated assemblies; as can be understood, the relationship between the first float and its associated assemblies is similar, and therefore a detailed description is omitted. Specifically, both the first float and the second float 2541 can move in response to changes in water level. Taking the second float 2541 as an example, when the water level is lower than the second float 2541, the second float 2541 has no buoyancy and is therefore at its lowest position, i.e., position 1 in FIG. 5. When the water level rises to contact the second float 2541, the second float 2541 receives buoyancy and moves in response to changes in water level. As the water level rises, it can move to its highest position, i.e., position 2 in FIG. 5, due to structural constraints. The above operating principles of the first float and the second float 2541 are the same; specifically, the two floats move along a pivot axis. In some embodiments, the first float and the second float 2541 are small floats, which occupy little space and are low cost, increase the amount of wastewater that can be stored in the wastewater tank, and because the volume of the small float is small, it is immersed in wastewater very little, which has little impact on the volume of wastewater that can be stored in the wastewater tank 25, and because it has a symmetrical structure, there is little difference in the amount of water when triggered from front to back and left to right, and the small float also increases the rotation sensitivity of the float and can improve detection sensitivity.

In some embodiments, the first float and the second float 2541 operate in cooperation with a first sensing assembly fixed to the device body 22 and are configured to monitor whether the wastewater tank 25 is assembled in place. Specifically, the first float includes a second sensing assembly, and the second float includes a third sensing assembly. In one embodiment, the first sensing assembly may be composed of one, two, or more components. If composed of two or more components, they may be provided at different positions on the device body and cooperate with the second and third sensing assemblies to generate sensing signals. When the wastewater tank 25 is assembled to the device body 22, when the first float and the second float 2541 are located in the first position, the second and/or third sensing assemblies cooperate with the first sensing assembly to generate sensing signals, and the sensing signals provide information that the wastewater tank 25 is assembled in place. Conversely, if the wastewater tank 25 is not assembled or is improperly assembled to the device body 22, the second sensing assembly and/or the third sensing assembly will not cooperate with the first sensing assembly to generate a sensing signal, and will instead issue warning information to prompt the user to reassemble the wastewater tank 25.

In some embodiments, when the first float and the second float are in the first position, a first sensing assembly is correspondingly provided on the device body, and the first float and the second float are configured to operate in cooperation with the first sensing assembly provided on the device body 22 to monitor the water level in the wastewater tank body 251. In one embodiment, the first sensing assembly and the first float and/or the second float may generate sensing signals of different intensities corresponding to different distances within a certain distance range. For example, the intensity of the sensing signal decreases as the distance increases. For example, the first sensing assembly may generate sensing signals ranging from strong to weak within a distance range of 1 cm to 3 cm. When the distance is less than 1 cm, the intensity of the sensing signal is maintained, and when the distance is greater than 3 cm, the sensing signal is attenuated to 0. Therefore, different distance ranges can be defined as threshold ranges. The distance ranges may be specific distance values, for example, 1 cm and 3 cm. The different distance ranges may be continuous or discontinuous. A specific example of a continuous distance range is shown below. For example, within the range of 1 cm to 3 cm, two distance ranges, 1 cm to 2 cm and 2 cm to 3 cm, are divided by a boundary of 2 cm, to respectively monitor whether the wastewater tank is assembled in place and whether it is full. When the wastewater tank 25 is assembled in the device body 22, the first and second floats 2541 are in a first position, and the distance between the second and/or third sensing assembly and the first sensing assembly is a first distance, for example, 2.5 cm, satisfying the detection threshold range of 2 cm to 3 cm. Based on the intensity of the sensing signal generated by the first sensing assembly, information is generated that the wastewater tank 25 is assembled in a predetermined position. When the wastewater tank 25 is full, the first and second floats 2541 are in a second position, and the distance between the second and/or third sensing assembly and the first sensing assembly is a second distance, for example, 1.5 cm, satisfying the detection threshold range of 1 cm to 2 cm. Based on the intensity of the sensing signal generated by the first sensing assembly, information is generated that the wastewater tank 25 is full. The same applies to non-continuous distance ranges.

In some embodiments, the first sensing assembly includes two sets of sensing elements, and when the first float and the second float are in a first position, the first set of sensing elements are correspondingly provided on the device body, and when the first float and the second float are in a second position, the second set of sensing elements are correspondingly provided on the device body, and the two sets of sensing elements operate in cooperation with the first float and/or the second float, respectively, to complete a water-filled monitoring task. Specifically, the first float includes a second sensing assembly, and the second float includes a third sensing assembly. When the wastewater tank 25 is assembled in the device body 22, the first and second floats 2541 are in the first position, and the second and/or third sensing assemblies each cooperate with the first set of sensing elements to generate a first sensing signal. The first sensing signal provides information that the wastewater tank 25 is assembled in the predetermined position. When the wastewater in the wastewater tank 25 reaches a predetermined position, for example, the predetermined full position where the first and/or second floats have reached the second position, the second and/or third sensing assemblies each cooperate with the second set of sensing elements to generate a second sensing signal. The second sensing signal provides information that the wastewater tank 25 is full, and prompts the user to continue processing.

In some embodiments, if one of the first and second floats provides the second sensing signal, it can be determined that the wastewater tank 25 is full. For example, if one float is blocked and cannot rise due to a clog or other malfunction, the other float may rise normally, enabling the full water alarm task and avoiding the risk of wastewater overflow.

In some embodiments, the first float includes a second sensing assembly, and the second float includes a third sensing assembly, and when the wastewater in the wastewater tank has not reached a predetermined position, the second sensing assembly and/or the third sensing assembly are in a first position, and in response to the wastewater tank being assembled to the device body, at least one of the second sensing assembly and the third sensing assembly cooperate with the first sensing assembly to generate a sensing signal, and based on the first sensing signal, generate information that the wastewater tank is assembled in a predetermined position, and when the wastewater in the wastewater tank reaches the predetermined position, at least one of the second sensing assembly and/or the third sensing assembly reaches a second position due to the buoyancy of the wastewater, the distance between the second sensing assembly and/or the third sensing assembly and the first sensing assembly increases, and the sensing signal disappears, and the disappearance of the sensing signal provides information that the wastewater tank is full. This setting method allows for full-water and in-place detection functions to be achieved with just one detection position (corresponding to the first position), eliminating the need for additional improvements to the Hall detection assembly's determination circuitry, simplifying the detection logic, improving detection efficiency, and reducing the cost of the detection circuit.

In some embodiments, a wastewater tank assembly error can be detected by comparing two symmetric floats, the first float and the second float. Specifically, if a sensing signal is generated from only one float, or if the difference between the sensing signals generated at two locations, the first float and the second float, exceeds a preset threshold, it can be determined that a wastewater tank assembly error exists, the tank cannot be assembled in place, and the user is prompted to continue processing.

In some embodiments, detection of blockage of one float can be achieved by comparing two symmetric floats, the first float and the second float. Specifically, if the difference between the sensing signals generated at the two locations of the first float and the second float exceeds a preset threshold, it can be determined that the float on that side is blocked, and the user is prompted to continue processing.

In some embodiments, by way of example and not limitation, the first sensing assembly may include a Hall element, such as a Hall plate or a Hall sensing assembly, and the second and third sensing assemblies may include, but are not limited to, magnets.

In some embodiments, the cover bracket 252 further includes a first float cover body 2533 and a second float cover body 2543. Here, the first float cover body 2533 is rotatably mounted on one side of the cover bracket 252, and the second float cover body 2543 is rotatably mounted on the other side of the cover bracket 252. When the first float cover body 2533 and the second float cover body 2543 are engaged with the cover bracket 252, the first float cover body 2533 covers the first float, and the second float cover body 2543 covers the second float 2541. By providing the float cover bodies on the outside of the float, it is possible to protect the float and prevent solids in the wastewater from blocking the float or affecting the float's response to water level changes. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, at least one locking member 2534, such as a snap, is provided on the edges of the first float cover body 2533 and the second float cover body 2543, and at least one locking member 2524, such as an engagement groove, is provided at a position corresponding to the cover bracket 252. Cooperation between the locking member 2534 and the locking member 2524 achieves engagement between the first float cover body 2533 and the second float cover body 2543 and the cover bracket 252, thereby enhancing protection of the first float and the second float.

In some embodiments, a plurality of first through holes 2544 are provided on the surface of each of the first float cover body 2533 and the second float cover body 2543. Wastewater in the wastewater tank 25 flows in or out through the first through holes 2544, allowing the first float and second float to quickly respond to the wastewater level.

In some embodiments, the second float 2541 includes a second axis of rotation 2542, and the second float 2541 can rotate about the second axis of rotation 2542 between a first position and a second position. Similarly, the first float includes a first axis of rotation, and the first float can freely rotate about the first axis of rotation between a first position and a second position.

In some embodiments, the cover bracket 252 further includes a filter mesh bag 2525, which extends in approximately the same direction as the first support bracket 2521. In some embodiments, the filter mesh bag 2525 and the first support bracket 2521 are integrally molded. This integral molding increases the strength and durability of the entire cover bracket 252 structure, and the filter mesh bag 2525 and the first support bracket 2521 may be detachably connected, making them easier for users to clean and allowing them to be replaced as consumables. The filter mesh bag 2525 may also be integrally molded with the first support bracket 2521, the second support bracket 2522, and the third support bracket 2523, further improving the strength and durability of the cover bracket 252.

The filter mesh bag 2525 is provided at the first end of the cover bracket 252 facing the bottom of the wastewater tank body 251, and extends approximately from the bottom of the cover bracket 252 toward the bottom of the wastewater tank body 251. When the wastewater tank 25 is in the assembled position, the filter mesh bag 2525 is arranged to extend approximately along the first direction, and when wastewater enters the wastewater tank body 251, the flow direction is approximately the same as the flow direction of the wastewater, which can reduce the resistance when the wastewater enters the wastewater tank body 251 and at the same time reduce the impurities in the wastewater from being caught in the filter mesh bag 2525. When the wastewater tank 25 is removed and wastewater is disposed, the user can choose whether to use the filter mesh bag 2525 to filter the wastewater according to the specific usage environment. Specifically, when a user uses the filter mesh bag 2525 to filter wastewater, they can grasp the second end 255 of the cover bracket 252 so that the receiving surface of the filter mesh bag 2525 faces the direction in which the wastewater is to be dumped. For example, the filter mesh bag 2525 can filter wastewater within a preset angle range from the horizontal, for example, when the extending surface of the filter mesh bag 2525 is at a preset angle range of 0 to 90 degrees from the horizontal, making it easy for the user to perform the filtering operation when wastewater needs to be filtered.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5 , the filtration mesh bag 2525 further includes a recess 2526, and the opening direction of the recess 2526 is opposite to the extension direction of the second support bracket 2522. In the assembled position, the recess 2526 of the filtration mesh bag 2525 faces the outside of the device body 22 for ease of use. Optionally, the filtration mesh bag 2525 is formed of a hard material, such as a hard plastic, a hard organic material, or a metal, to increase the rigidity of the filtration mesh bag 2525 during filtration.

In some embodiments, the filtering mesh bag 2525 further includes a plurality of second through holes 2527. In some embodiments, the opening size of the second through holes 2527 is larger than the opening size of the first through holes 2544, and by selecting different opening sizes, solids of different sizes in the wastewater can be filtered, with the second through holes 2527 having a large opening size to allow wastewater to pass through quickly, and the first through holes 2544 having a small opening size to allow water to enter only the float cover body.

When the wastewater tank 25 is full, the user removes it from the cleaning device main body 22 and removes the cover bracket 252 from the wastewater tank main body 251. If the user considers it necessary to filter the wastewater when disposing of it, the cover bracket 252 is positioned horizontally so that the filter mesh bag 2525 is located below the wastewater outlet of the wastewater tank main body 251. After the wastewater flows out of the wastewater tank main body 251, it passes through the recess 2526 of the filter mesh bag 2525 and is discharged through the second through hole 2527, thereby filtering most of the solids in the wastewater and preventing large solids from being directly dumped into the drainage location (e.g., sewer, toilet) and causing blockage of the drainage location.

The filtering mesh bag 2525 extends in the same direction as the entire cover bracket 252, and the recess 2526 is shallower and has a smoother recessed shape. This makes it more convenient for users to discard filtered solid waste than a structure with a fixed angle between the grip and filtering section, further improving the user experience and making it easier to clean in the subsequent cleaning process.

The filter mesh bag extending vertically from the wastewater tank body reduces the space it takes up in the wastewater tank body when assembled, making it less likely for impurities to leak out. It also allows the filtering function to be selectively used when disposing of wastewater, is easy to operate, and is flexible, improving the practicality of the filter bracket.

In some embodiments, the cover bracket 252 may further include a filtering window 2528, for example, the filtering window may be provided with a mesh screen or other filtering material. The filtering window 2528 is provided in the first support bracket 2521 and is configured to filter gas. As gas passes through the first support bracket 2521 via the filtering window 2528, particulate matter carried by the gas is blocked by the filtering window 2528 as the gas flows, thereby achieving coarse filtering of the gas. The filtering window 2528 is provided on the first support bracket 2521. When disposing of wastewater, the first support bracket 2521 needs to be removed from the wastewater tank body. At this time, the user can easily see the position of the filtering window 2528 provided on the first support bracket 2521, i.e., it is easy for the user to recognize, which has the effect of encouraging the user to clean the dirt attached to the filtering window 2528 in a timely manner. Since the filtering window 2528 is located close to the filtering mesh bag 2525, the user can rinse the filtering window 2528 and the filtering mesh bag 2525 together during cleaning. Optionally, the filtering window 2528 may have a single structure, a two-valve structure, or another multi-valve structure, and is not particularly limited thereto. In some embodiments, the cleaning device 20 further includes a power source, which is arranged to generate airflows moving along the same direction in the cleaning device, and this airflow carries the wastewater (including solid debris) on the surface to be cleaned to the cleaning device 20 for collection. Therefore, this airflow is defined as a collection airflow. The airflow path through which the recovered airflow flows in the cleaning device 20 is defined by the device air duct, and the entire airflow path passes at least sequentially through the dirt suction inlet, dirt collection unit (i.e., dirty water drum), and power source of the cleaning device 20; i.e., the device air duct includes at least the dirt suction inlet, dirt collection unit (i.e., dirty water drum), and power source; and since the recovered airflow exiting the dirt collection unit does not carry dirty water, the airflow path defined by the dirt suction inlet and dirt collection unit is defined as the recovery path.

The power source may specifically be a suction source, such as an exhaust fan. The exhaust fan is provided in the device body 22 and configured to allow gas to flow through the device air duct to form a recovery air flow and provide suction power for wastewater recovery. The wastewater recovery pipe connects the dirt suction port to the wastewater tank 25 and forms part of the device air duct. Under the action of the suction force generated by the exhaust fan, wastewater is sucked into the wastewater tank 25 through the wastewater recovery pipe.

5, the cover bracket 252 further includes a second end 255 opposite the first end, the second end 255 being adjacent to the open side of the wastewater tank body 251, and the cover bracket 252 further includes a filter assembly 2551 provided at the second end 255, the filter assembly 2551 being configured to allow the recovered air flow to pass through the wastewater pipe 2511, the filter window 2528, and the filter assembly 2551. The recovered air flow is first filtered a first time by the filter window 2528 and then filtered a second time by the filter assembly 2551 before entering the exhaust fan, thereby ensuring that the gas entering the exhaust fan is free of impurities and reducing damage to the exhaust fan. Optionally, the filtration assembly 2551 may be made of multi-layered filtration cotton or multi-layered gauze, and a mesh screen may be provided on either the filtration window 2528 or the filtration assembly 2551, or, of course, to improve filtration performance, a mesh screen may be provided on both the filtration window 2528 and the filtration assembly 2551. In some embodiments, the cover bracket further includes a wastewater tank body assembly portion 2552 extending circumferentially and provided at the second end 255, and configured to be engaged with and assembled into the opening of the wastewater tank body 251.

In related art, the clean water tank and/or waste water tank of a cleaning device are often not installed properly, and the water level is too high, causing the liquid in the clean water tank and/or waste water tank to leak, which not only results in secondary contamination of the floor surface being cleaned, but can also pose a safety hazard.

In this regard, this embodiment provides a cleaning device that is equipped with a water collection structure. When liquid leaks from a clean water tank placed on the first chassis, the liquid can be directed to the dirt suction channel via the first chassis and its first water leakage port. Alternatively, leaked liquid from a dirty water tank can be directed to the dirt suction channel via the second chassis and its second water leakage port. This reduces the risk of leaked liquid leaking outside the cleaning device and also reduces safety hazards.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, this embodiment provides a cleaning device. Similar structures may be found in the above-described embodiments, and the description thereof will be omitted. The cleaning device includes a device body 22, which extends vertically in a first direction. The device body 22 includes a clean water tank accommodating portion 224 and a waste water tank accommodating portion 225. The clean water tank accommodating portion 224 is arranged to accommodate a clean water tank 26. The waste water tank accommodating portion 225 is arranged to accommodate a waste water tank 25. The clean water tank accommodating portion 224 includes a first chassis 2211 configured to mount the clean water tank 26. The first chassis 2211 is , including at least one first water leakage port 22111 and a first protruding edge 22112. As shown in FIG. 9, the first protruding edge 22112 is provided around the first chassis 2211. The first protruding edge 22112 is used to receive and fix the clean water tank 26, preventing the clean water tank 26 from shaking or shifting, and also preventing the liquid leaking from the clean water tank 26 from flowing out of the first chassis 2211. The first water leakage port 22111 has at least The number of the first water leakage ports may be one, for example, two, three, four or more, and if there is an even number, they may be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first chassis 2211. The shape of the first water leakage port is not limited, and may be, for example, a round hole, a square hole or a rod-like shape. The wastewater tank accommodating portion 225 includes a side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion, and the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion extends from the top end to the bottom end of the wastewater tank accommodating portion along the first direction, and the top end of the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion is fluidly connected to the first water leakage port 22111. The clean water tank 26 is connected to the first water leakage port 22111, and is configured so that liquid leaking from the clean water tank 26 flows out through the first water leakage port 22111 and then flows downward along the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank storage section. As shown in FIG. 11, folded edges 22212 are provided on two side edges in the first direction toward the inner surface of the wastewater tank 25 of the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank storage section, and the folded edges 22212 and the inner surface form a right angle or obtuse angle, preventing liquid from flowing outside the wastewater tank storage section.

In some other embodiments, a liquid conduction groove 22211 is provided on the edge of the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion, and the liquid conduction groove 22211 extends along a first direction toward the outside of the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion toward the wastewater tank 25 or toward the inside away from the wastewater tank 25, and may be provided on the edge or in the middle of the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion, or may be a structure integrally molded with the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion, or may be a separately provided device. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the liquid conduction groove 22211 may be provided on one or both sides of the edge of the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion, and may be a vertically penetrating groove recessed into the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion, or may be a vertically penetrating tubular liquid conduction groove 22211 provided in the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion, wherein the first water leakage port 22111 is connected to the liquid conduction groove 22211, and liquid leaking from the clean water tank 26 is configured to be discharged via the first water leakage port 22111 and the liquid conduction groove 22211.

In some embodiments, as can be understood with reference to Figures 11 and 10, the device body 22 may further include a water collection structure 223, which connects the first chassis 2211 and the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank housing, so that liquid leaking from the clean water tank 26 is guided through the first water leakage port 22111, the water collection structure 223, and the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank housing, and the water collection structure 223, the first chassis 2211, and the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank housing may be integral with each other or may be detachably connected.

In some embodiments, the water collecting structure 223 includes a water collecting structure body 2231, a water collecting tank 2232, and an air duct opening 2234. The water collecting structure body 2231 has an inclined structure in an assembled state and is arranged at an angle in an assembled state to connect with the filtration assembly 2551 of the wastewater tank. The air duct opening 2234 communicates with the exhaust fan 273 to engage with the air outlet of the wastewater tank 25, allowing the recovered air flow to pass through. A pair of water collecting tanks 2232 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the water collecting structure body 2231, and liquid leaking from the clean water tank flows into the water collecting tank 2232 through the first water leakage opening 22111.

In some embodiments, the water collection tank 2232 has a substantially triangular cross section in the first direction to match the sloped structure of the water collection structure main body 2231, and the top of the water collection tank 2232 is substantially horizontal to smoothly receive the clean water tank. The water collection tank 2232 has side walls, a sloped bottom 2233, and a water collection tank hole 22321, the water collection tank hole 22321 being located in the sloped bottom 2233. Optionally, the water collection tank hole 22321 is located at the lowest position of the sloped bottom 2233 to facilitate liquid drainage, and the water collection tank hole 22321 is connected to the liquid conduction groove 22211 in the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating section, so that liquid flowing into the water collection tank 2232 flows into the liquid conduction groove 22211 through the sloped bottom 2233 and the water collection tank hole 22321.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12, the wastewater tank accommodating portion 225 further includes a second chassis 2222, and the second chassis 2222 and the side wall 2221 of the wastewater tank accommodating portion may be integrally connected or detachably connected. The second chassis 2222 is arranged to receive the wastewater tank 25, and the second chassis 2222 has at least one second water leakage port 22221 and a second protruding edge 2225. The second protruding edge 2225 is used to receive and fix the wastewater tank 25, preventing the wastewater tank 25 from shaking or shifting, and preventing liquid leaking from the wastewater tank 25 from flowing out of the second chassis 2222. The shape and number of the second water leakage port 22221 are not particularly limited, and the shape may be, for example, a round hole, a square hole, or a rod-shaped hole.

13, the cleaning device 20 further includes a dirt suction channel 2223, which penetrates the second chassis 2222 and communicates with the wastewater tank 25, and the dirt suction channel 2223 is configured to fluidly connect the dirt suction port and the wastewater tank 25, and after the wastewater enters the dirt suction port, it enters the wastewater tank 25 through the dirt suction channel 2223, and the cleaning device 20 further includes a flow guide channel 2224, which is connected to the The liquid conduction groove 22211, the second water leakage port 22221, and the dirt suction channel 2223 are connected, and the flow guide channel 2224 allows the liquid flowing out of the liquid conduction groove 22211 and the liquid flowing out of the second water leakage port 22221 to flow into the dirt suction channel 2223 via the flow guide channel 2224, and allows the liquid leaking from the clean water tank and the liquid leaking from the wastewater tank to be guided to the dirt suction channel 2223, and then sucked into the wastewater tank 25 via the dirt suction channel 2223.

In some embodiments, the liquid conduction groove 22211 can guide liquid flowing from the first chassis 2211 to the second chassis 2222 or directly to the flow channel 2224, and the liquid in the second chassis 2222 flows out into the flow channel 2224 through the second water leak 22221.

In some embodiments, the flow guide channel 2224 refers to any possible channel structure that is fluidly connected to the dirt suction channel 2223, and may be an independent structural element or assembly, or may be formed by spaces between the components. For example, the flow guide channel 2224 may be a conduit having one end directly connected to the dirt suction channel 2223 and the other end directly connected to the second water leak 22221 and/or the liquid conduit 22211. The flow guide channel 2224 may be realized as follows (not shown): Liquid flowing out from the second water leak 22221 and/or the liquid conduit 22211 is collected in a liquid collection device, and a conduit is provided between the liquid collection device and the dirt suction channel 2223 to fluidly connect them, and the liquid in the liquid collection device is collected in the dirt suction channel 2223 by the negative pressure in the dirt suction channel 2223.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 14, a handle removal structure is provided in the clean water tank accommodating portion 221, located on the inner wall of the clean water tank accommodating portion 221, and when pressed, the cleaning device handle 23 can be removed. When the clean water tank 26 is assembled to the clean water tank accommodating portion 221, the handle removal structure is blocked and covered to prevent the handle from falling off due to incorrect operation. Specifically, the handle detachment structure includes a pressing chamber 2213 integrally molded on the inner wall of the clean water tank accommodating portion 221. For example, the inner wall of the clean water tank accommodating portion 221 is recessed inward to form a groove to form the pressing chamber 2213. The handle detachment structure further includes a pressing portion 2212 that is closely attached to the inner wall of the clean water tank accommodating portion 221 and substantially covers the pressing chamber 2213. The pressing portion 2212 is made of a material having elasticity when pressed. The handle detachment structure further includes a push-up portion 2214 connected to the push-up portion 2212. The push-up portion 2212 and the push-up portion 2214 may be integrally molded or separately molded. When the push-up portion 2212 is pressed, one end of the push-up portion 2214 is pushed up against the locking protrusion 2215 of the cleaning device handle, thereby unlocking the cleaning device handle 23 from the device body 22 and allowing the user to remove it. Compared to the common method of providing an insertion hole in the main body and using a specially shaped tool (e.g., a pin) to trigger removal, this removal method allows removal by directly pressing, making it easier to operate, and the pressing part 2212 is located on the rear side of the clean water tank, preventing accidental triggering during use. Optionally, a reset spring 2216 may be provided between the pushing part 2214 and the bottom of the pressing chamber 2213 for elastic resetting.

In related technology, when a cleaning device is operating, water from a clean water tank is sucked up by a water pump and then distributed to the brush head or the surface being cleaned. Ideally, the water should be distributed evenly to the brush head or the surface being cleaned. However, due to differences in water pressure, the current water circuit structure does not allow water to be distributed evenly to the brush head or the surface being cleaned. As a result, some brush heads or surfaces receive too much water, wasting water resources, and some brush heads or surfaces receive too little water, preventing reliable cleaning of the floor.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning device in which a liquid distribution connector is disposed in the liquid supply duct structure of the cleaning sheet body. The liquid distribution connector has multiple liquid outlets, and the diameter of the liquid outlets increases as they approach the liquid inlet, making it possible to make the water flowing out from the multiple liquid outlets as uniform as possible and to distribute the liquid uniformly to the brush head or the surface being cleaned.

15, the cleaning device includes a device housing, which includes a cleaning sheet body 21 and a device body 22. The cleaning sheet body 21 is pivotally connected to the device body 22. The cleaning sheet body 21 is provided with a cleaning roller brush 211, which rotates to clean the floor. The cleaning roller brush is attached by rotational engagement. Specifically, an end cap is provided at the end of the cleaning roller brush. When the cleaning roller brush is fully inserted into the drive end, rotating the end cap in the engagement direction will engage the cleaning roller brush with the cleaning sheet body 21, and rotating the end cap in the opposite direction will release the engagement between the cleaning roller brush and the cleaning sheet body 21. During the cleaning device's cleaning operation, if the rotation direction of the cleaning roller brush is opposite to the engagement direction of the end cap, the cleaning roller brush will be disengaged during cleaning, potentially resulting in the cleaning roller brush falling off. Therefore, the engagement direction of the cleaning roller brush can be set to the rotation direction during cleaning operation to prevent the cleaning roller brush from being disengaged and falling off during normal operation.

The cleaning apparatus further includes a liquid supply system, which includes a liquid storage device, a liquid supply line, a liquid supply power source, and a liquid distributor. Here, the liquid storage device is used to store cleaning liquid and may be one or more containers, a container having two or more chambers therein, or a combination of the above-mentioned containers. The liquid supply power source is a device for providing power to the flow of cleaning liquid, such as a water pump. The liquid distributor is a device for distributing cleaning liquid to the cleaning roller brush and/or the surface to be cleaned. The liquid supply line is a line that allows cleaning liquid to flow from the liquid storage device to the liquid distributor under the action of power provided by the liquid supply power source.

In some embodiments, the liquid storage device includes two or more containers or chambers, with at least one container or chamber used to contain clean water and the other container or chamber used to contain a cleaning-enhancing solvent, such as a detergent. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a clean water tank 26 is disposed in the device body 22 and configured to contain clean water. As shown in FIG. 16, a detergent box 214 is provided within the cleaning sheet body 21 and configured to contain a detergent, and the clean water and detergent are mixed in the liquid supply line and distributed to the cleaning roller brush 211 and/or the surface to be cleaned via a liquid distributor. To ensure uniform water distribution, the liquid distributor's structure must correspond to the cleaning roller brush 211. Therefore, the liquid distributor has four liquid inlets. Corresponding to the inlet structure of the liquid distributor, a liquid distribution connector 215 configured to distribute the cleaning liquid after mixing clean water and detergent is provided in the liquid supply pipe within the cleaning sheet body 21. The liquid distribution connector 215 has a liquid inlet 21511 for the inflow of the mixed cleaning liquid, and at least two liquid outlets, with the diameters of the at least two liquid outlets increasing the closer they are to the liquid inlet.

17, the liquid distribution connector 215 includes a main fluid conduit 2151 having a first end which is a liquid inlet 21511 through which the mixed cleaning liquid flows and a second end which is a sealed structure 21512. The liquid distribution conduits 2152 are connected to the main fluid conduit 2151 approximately perpendicularly, and each of the liquid distribution conduits 2152 has a liquid outlet. In some embodiments, the liquid distribution conduits 2152 have approximately the same outer diameter and different inner diameters. "Approximately the same" means, for example, that the difference between the two values is 15% or less (e.g., the larger of the two values is the reference value), e.g., 5%. In some embodiments, the liquid distribution conduits 2152 include a first liquid distribution conduit 21521, a second liquid distribution conduit 21522, a third liquid distribution conduit 21523, and a fourth liquid distribution conduit 21524 arranged sequentially along the direction from the first end to the second end of the main fluid conduit 2151. The first liquid distribution pipe 21521 delivers liquid to the first roller brush via the second liquid pipe 2142, the second liquid distribution pipe 21522 delivers liquid to the second roller brush via the third liquid pipe 2143, the third liquid distribution pipe 21523 delivers liquid to the third roller brush via the fourth liquid pipe 2144, and the fourth liquid distribution pipe 21524 delivers liquid to the first roller brush via the fifth liquid pipe 2145. The inner diameters of the first liquid distribution pipe 21521, the second liquid distribution pipe 21522, the third liquid distribution pipe 21523 and the fourth liquid distribution pipe 21524 are arranged from coarse to narrow, and in some embodiments, the inner diameter of the first liquid distribution pipe 21521 is 1.35 to 1.45 mm, the inner diameter of the second liquid distribution pipe 21522 is 1.25 to 1.35 mm, the inner diameter of the third liquid distribution pipe 21523 is 1.15 to 1.25 mm, and the inner diameter of the fourth liquid distribution pipe 21524 is 1.05 to 1.15 mm. Because the second end of the main fluid pipe 2151 has a sealed structure, the oil pressure in the main fluid pipe 2151 changes from small to large in the direction from the first end to the second end. If the inner diameters of the first liquid distribution pipe 21521, second liquid distribution pipe 21522, third liquid distribution pipe 21523, and fourth liquid distribution pipe 21524 are arranged from coarse to narrow, the amount of liquid flowing out of the first liquid distribution pipe 21521, second liquid distribution pipe 21522, third liquid distribution pipe 21523, and fourth liquid distribution pipe 21524 will be uniform, and the amount of liquid acquired by the first roller brush, second roller brush, and third roller brush can be basically the same, making the floor cleaning process by the roller brushes more uniform and preventing dirt from remaining on the floor due to excessive liquid.

18, the cleaning sheet body 21 includes a first roller brush housing 216 configured to assemble the first roller brush, a second roller brush housing 217 configured to assemble the second roller brush, and a third roller brush housing 218 configured to assemble the third roller brush, where the cleaning liquid is distributed from the liquid outlet of the liquid distribution connector 215 to the first, second, and third roller brushes via liquid pipes. For example, the first liquid distribution pipe 21521 delivers liquid to the first roller brush via the second liquid pipe 2142, the second liquid distribution pipe 21522 delivers liquid to the second roller brush via the third liquid pipe 2143, the third liquid distribution pipe 21523 delivers liquid to the third roller brush via the fourth liquid pipe 2144, and the fourth liquid distribution pipe 21524 delivers liquid to the first roller brush via the fifth liquid pipe 2145. As an example, the first roller brush is provided independently along the width direction of the cleaning sheet main body 21, and the second and third roller brushes are provided adjacent to each other along the width direction of the cleaning sheet main body 21; that is, the sum of the lengths of the second and third roller brushes is approximately equal to the length of the first roller brush. The first, second, and third roller brushes rotate under the drive of a motor to clean the floor surface.

18 and 19, the first roller brush housing 216 includes a first scraper 2161 extending along the longitudinal direction of the first roller brush and approximately equal to the length of the first roller brush. That is, the first scraper 2161 extends from one end of the first roller brush to the other in a direction parallel to the first roller brush. The first scraper 2161 is used to scrape off dirt on the first roller brush. Similarly, the second roller brush and the third roller brush include scrapers with similar functions at corresponding positions near the entrances of the dirt suction channels. The second roller brush housing 217 further includes a second scraper 2162 extending along the longitudinal direction of the first roller brush, locally aligned with the first roller brush, and optionally disposed at approximately the center of the longitudinal direction of the first roller brush, and the drive devices for the second and third roller brushes are disposed at central positions, so that when the cleaning device 20 is pulled backward (i.e., in the opposite direction to the X direction), more water marks remain at the center of the roller brush covering the cleaning surface, and by providing the second scraper 2162, it is possible to reduce water marks remaining at the weak position (center) of the roller brush covering the cleaning surface. The second roller brush housing 217 includes a third scraper 2171 extending along the longitudinal direction of the second roller brush, locally aligned with the second roller brush, and optionally disposed at the outer edge of the second roller brush housing 217. The third roller brush housing 218 includes a fourth scraper 2181 extending along the length of the third roller brush and locally aligned with the third roller brush. Optionally, the fourth scraper 2181 is provided on the outer edge of the third roller brush housing 218 to reduce water marks left at weak points (edge positions) of the roller brush covering the cleaning surface. The drive device for the first roller brush is located on the edge of the first roller brush, so that when the cleaning device 20 is pulled forward (i.e., in the X direction), more water marks are left at the edge positions of the roller brush covering the cleaning surface. By providing the third scraper 2171 and the fourth scraper 2181, water marks left at weak points (edge positions) of the roller brush covering the cleaning surface can be reduced.

The first scraper 2161 is approximately the same length as the first roller brush, which means that the difference between the length of the first scraper 2161 and the length of the first roller brush is 15% or less (for example, the larger of the two lengths is used as the reference value), e.g., 5%.

In some embodiments, a blade (not shown) for interfering with and scraping the surface to be cleaned is further provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning sheet main body 21. The blade is provided near the rear side (rear side in the X direction) of the first roller brush and may be fixedly or movably connected to the cleaning sheet main body 21. The movably connected connection may be, for example, a pivot connection, a resilient connection, or a height-adjustable connection. The length of the blade corresponds to the length of the first roller brush; for example, the two may be the same.

20, the cleaning sheet body 21 further includes a dirt suction channel 2223 for delivering dirty water sucked up from between the first, second, and third roller brushes to the dirty water tank 25. The entrance of the dirt suction channel is located between the first, second, and third roller brushes, and, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 20, extends to the top of the roller brushes, then curves approximately 90 degrees backward (i.e., toward the device body 22, opposite the X direction) to extend into the device body, and then curves approximately 90 degrees upward to enter the dirty water tank. The orientation of the dirt suction channel allows the device body 22 and the cleaning sheet body 21 to have an angular relationship in the X direction that is slightly less than 90 degrees, thereby realizing the upright locking function of the cleaning device.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 15, freely rotatable front collision rollers 212 are further provided at the front edge positions on both sides of the cleaning sheet body 21. When the cleaning sheet body 21 collides with an obstacle, such as furniture or a wall, during cleaning work, the rotation of the rollers provides a cushion, reducing the impact force and preventing damage to the cleaning device or the object that has been hit.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a liquid distribution connector is arranged in the liquid supply duct structure of the cleaning sheet body. This allows the liquid distribution connector to have multiple liquid outlets, with the diameter increasing the closer the liquid outlet is to the liquid inlet, ensuring that the amount of liquid flowing out from the multiple liquid outlets is as uniform as possible, and that the amount of liquid distributed to the brush head or the surface being cleaned is as uniform as possible. Furthermore, by providing a scraper in a relatively weak position on the roller brush, dirty water can be scraped off the roller brush surface, preventing large water marks from remaining in this position.

As shown in FIG. 21, the present disclosure further provides a cleaning system 100, which includes a column 10 and a cleaning device 20 according to any of the above embodiments. The column 10 is configured to support the cleaning device 20.

Figure 22 is a schematic exploded view of the column 10 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 22, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a column 10 configured to support a cleaning device and dry the cleaning member of the cleaning device, where the cleaning device is, for example, a floor scrubbing machine, and the cleaning member is, for example, a cleaning roller brush of the floor scrubbing machine. After the floor scrubbing machine completes its cleaning task, it is supported back on the column 10, and the column can perform various operations such as charging, self-cleaning, and drying cycles.

22, the column 10 includes a housing 12 having an accommodation space 13. For example, the housing 12 includes a bottom plate 11 and an upper shell snapped to the bottom plate 11, and the bottom plate 11 and the upper shell enclose the accommodation space 13. The bottom plate 11 and the upper shell may be detachable assembly members or may be integrally formed. The column 10 further includes a column exhaust fan 14 provided in the accommodation space 13, which is configured to generate dry gas in the accommodation space 13. The housing 12 is provided with a column air outlet 123 configured to connect to a bottom air outlet of the device body 22 of the cleaning device, for example, a floor scrubber.

The cleaning device's machine air duct is used to allow wastewater to flow into the wastewater tank and deliver moist air during cleaning operations. When the cleaning device is returned to the column, the column air outlet is connected to the cleaning device air outlet of the cleaning device's machine air duct. Under the action of the column exhaust fan inside the column, dry air enters the cleaning device from the cleaning device air outlet and travels along the cleaning device's machine air duct to the cleaning device's cleaning roller brush, drying the cleaning device's cleaning roller brush. At the same time, the machine air duct passes through the cleaning device's wastewater tank. As a result, the dry air passes through the cleaning device's wastewater tank and dries the inner walls of the wastewater tank, preventing the wastewater tank and machine air duct from becoming wet for long periods of time and causing the proliferation of dirt.
