Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples do not represent all implementations consistent with the utility model. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of the utility model as detailed in the accompanying claims.

With the continuous progress of technology, home appliances having various cleaning functions, such as a robot having a sweeping function, a robot having both sweeping and mopping functions, and the like, are continuously emerging. More and more cleaning devices occupy a large amount of living space of users, and inconvenience is caused to the lives of the users. In the related art, in order to reduce occupation of living space by the cleaning apparatus, one method is to reserve a part of space at the bottom of the washing machine and then place an apparatus such as a cleaning robot under the washing machine. Because the washing machine is two relatively independent devices with the cleaning robot, when the box bodies of the two devices are connected together, the connection between the washing machine and the box body for accommodating the cleaning robot is unstable, and the reliability and the safety are poor.

In order to solve the technical problem, the present disclosure provides a cleaning device, through integrating washing device and cleaning device in an holistic box simultaneously, not only practiced thrift the additional living space's of occupation problem of cleaning device, compare among the correlation technique, with washing device and cleaning device independent relatively, hold respectively in different boxes and make the scheme that two boxes link together again, the structure in this disclosure has promoted stability, reliability and the security of box.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the cleaning apparatus includes a cabinet 10, and a washing device 30 and a cleaning device 40 are both accommodated in the cabinet 10. The case 10 includes a first case portion 11 and a second case portion 12, the washing device 30 is accommodated in the first case portion 11, and the cleaning device 40 is accommodated in the second case portion 12, that is, the first case portion 11 and the second case portion 12 are integrally constructed, and the washing device 30 and the cleaning device 40 are integrated in the case 10, thereby improving structural stability and reliability of the case 10. For example, when the washing device 30 vibrates during washing of laundry, the reliability is high because the case 10 is of an integral structure, and the charging process or the self-cleaning process of the cleaning device 40 is not affected.

Because the cleaning device 40 needs to be separated from the case 10 during the cleaning process of the living environment of the user, the cleaning device 40 can be quickly moved from the case 10 to the cleaning area for convenience, the cleaning device 40 is arranged below the washing device 30, and the cleaning device 40 can be directly placed on the ground or on the bottom surface of the case 10.

In addition, in general, the volume of the cleaning device 40 is smaller than that of the washing device 30, and the cleaning device 40 generally needs to use a charging system and a self-cleaning system adapted thereto, so the cleaning apparatus further includes a storage compartment 20, the storage compartment 20 is accommodated in the second shell 12, the cleaning device 40 is accommodated in the storage compartment 20, the storage compartment 20 can be used for performing operations such as charging and self-cleaning on the cleaning device 40, and a set of charging system and self-cleaning system adapted to the cleaning device can be disposed in the storage compartment 20.
