Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

In order to make the technical scheme and advantages of the present application more apparent, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a combined type cleaning apparatus including a washing machine 100, a cleaning robot base station 200, and a lifting device 300, the cleaning robot base station 200 being located under the washing machine 100, thereby reducing the total space occupied by the cleaning robot base station 200 and the washing machine 100. The cleaning robot base station 200 has an opening 210 so that the cleaning robot 400 can enter the cleaning robot base station 200 from the opening 210. The cleaning robot 400 may be a cleaning device such as a floor sweeping robot for cleaning floor dirt.

The lifting device 300 includes a lifting door 310 and a link mechanism 320, and the link mechanism 320 is connected to the lifting door 310. When the link mechanism 320 drives the lifting door 310 to move down to the first position, the lifting door 310 covers the opening 210. When the link mechanism 320 drives the lifting door 310 to move up to the second position, the opening 210 is opened. The first position is the lowest position that the lift gate 310 can reach, and the second position is the highest position that the lift gate 310 can reach.

It can be understood that, with the combined cleaning apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the cleaning robot 400 enters the cleaning robot base station 200 to perform self-cleaning, the lifting door 310 covers the opening 210, so that the cleaning robot base station 200 is in a closed state, and thus dirt generated in the self-cleaning process cannot flow out from the cleaning robot base station 200 to the outside of the combined cleaning apparatus, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the external area of the combined cleaning apparatus. Meanwhile, the secondary cleaning of the outside of the combined type cleaning device by a user can be avoided, so that the experience of the user in using the combined type cleaning device is improved. In addition, the lifting door 310 covering the opening 210 can have a certain soundproof effect, and can reduce noise generated when the cleaning robot 400 enters the cleaning robot 400 to operate in the base station.

Details and actions of the combined cleaning apparatus according to the embodiments of the present application are described in more detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 7.

As shown in connection with fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the linkage 320 includes a motor 321 and a linkage assembly 322. The motor 321 is connected to an inner wall of the housing 110 of the washing machine 100. One end of the link assembly 322 is connected to a rotation shaft 325 of the motor 321, and the other end of the link assembly 322 is connected to an inner wall of the lifting door 310. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the washing machine 100 may be a rolling washing machine 100, and the housing 110 of the washing machine 100 refers to the housing 110 provided with the laundry inlet 120. The motor 321 may be in signal connection with a control unit in the combined cleaning apparatus, and thus the motor 321 may be rotated based on instructions transmitted from the control unit. It will be appreciated that when the motor 321 rotates, one end of the link assembly 322 connected to the shaft 325 rotates with the rotation of the shaft 325, and the other end drives the lift gate 310 to move. In some embodiments, the lifting door 310 is parallel to the housing 110 of the washing machine 100.

As shown in connection with fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the linkage assembly 322 includes a first rod 323 and a second rod 324. One end of the first rod 323 is connected with the rotating shaft 325 of the motor 321, the other end of the first rod 323 is hinged with one end of the second rod 324, and the other end of the second rod 324 is connected with the inner wall of the lifting door 310. The operation principle of the link assembly 322 will be described by taking the example that the motor 321 rotates clockwise to drive the lifting door 310. When the motor 321 rotates in the clockwise direction, the first rod 323 rotates in the clockwise direction with the rotation shaft 325 of the motor 321 as the rotation center, so that the hinge between the second rod 324 and the first rod 323 also rotates in the clockwise direction with the rotation shaft 325 of the motor 321 as the rotation center. Since the second rod 324 is connected to the inner wall of the lifting door 310, the lifting door 310 can move up to the first position under the driving of the second rod 324 to seal the opening 210 of the cleaning robot base station 200, so that the interior of the cleaning robot base station 200 is in a closed state. When the motor 321 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the first rod 323, the second rod 324, and the lift gate 310 are opposite to the above-described rotation or movement direction, so that the lift gate 310 may gradually descend to the first position. It should be noted that, the motor 321 may also rotate in a counterclockwise direction to drive the lifting door 310 to move upwards, and simultaneously, the motor 321 rotates in a clockwise direction to drive the lifting door 310 to move downwards.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, when the lift gate 310 moves from the first position to the second position, the hinge between the first rod 323 and the second rod 324 is not less than the height of the lift gate 310 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 325. Note that the height of the lift gate 310 is not less than the height of the opening 210 of the cleaning robot base station 200. Thus, it is ensured that the opening 210 of the cleaning robot base station 200 is completely opened when the lifting door 310 is lifted to the second position, so as to prevent scratch between the lifting door 310 and the cleaning robot 400 entering the cleaning robot base station 200 from being damaged.

As shown in connection with fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the linkage assembly 322 includes a cam 326 and a third rod 327. The center of the cam 326 is connected with the rotating shaft 325 of the motor 321, the rotating end of the cam 326 is hinged with one end of the third rod 327, and the other end of the third rod 327 is connected with the inner wall of the lifting door 310. The center of the cam 326 is the center of the base circle on the larger side of the cam 326. The center of the cam 326 may be provided with a through hole, and the through hole is sleeved on the rotating shaft 325 of the motor 321, so as to realize connection between the cam 326 and the motor 321. The rotating end of the cam 326 refers to the end of the cam 326 remote from the motor 321. It should be noted that the working principle of the link assembly 322 formed by the cam 326 and the third rod body 327 is the same as the working principle of the link assembly 322 formed by the first rod body 323 and the second rod body 324, and the disclosure will not be repeated.

As shown in connection with fig. 4 and 5, in some embodiments, when the lift gate 310 moves from the first position to the second position, the cam 326 is hinged to the third lever 327 by a distance that is not less than the height of the lift gate 310 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 325. Note that the height of the lift gate 310 is not less than the height of the opening 210 of the cleaning robot base station 200. Thus, it is ensured that the opening 210 of the cleaning robot base station 200 is completely opened when the lifting door 310 is lifted to the second position, so as to prevent scratch between the lifting door 310 and the cleaning robot 400 entering the cleaning robot base station 200 from being damaged.

As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments, the opening 210 is on the same side as the laundry inlet 120 of the washing machine 100. So that the opening 210 of the cleaning robot base station 200 is positioned at a side viewable by the user, and the user can more conveniently grasp the use state in the cleaning robot base station 200.

The first pulley 311 and the second pulley 312 are respectively installed at both sides of the lifting door 310, wherein the first pulley 311 is positioned in the first groove 510, and the second pulley 312 is positioned in the second groove 600. The first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 are both parallel to the moving direction of the lift gate 310. By providing the first slide rail 500 and the second slide rail, the moving direction of the lifting door 310 can be better limited. By providing the first pulley 311 and the second pulley 312 in the first groove 510 and the second groove 600, respectively, friction force generated between the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 and between the bottom of the first groove 510 and the bottom of the second groove 600, respectively, during the movement of the lifting door 310 can be reduced, so that abrasion is avoided. The number of the first pulleys 311 and the second pulleys 312 may be one, two, or more.

As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the combined cleaning apparatus further includes a first stopper 700, one end of the first stopper 700 is connected to the housing 110, and the other end extends in a direction away from the housing 110. When the lifting door 310 moves up to the second position, the top of the lifting door 310 abuts against the first limiting block 700. By providing the first stopper 700, the highest position where the lift gate 310 moves can be limited, and the lift gate 310 is prevented from excessively ascending to be separated from the first groove 510 and the second groove 600.

As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the combined cleaning apparatus further includes a second stop block 800 and a third stop block 900.
