Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a liquid container and an autonomous cleaning robot. The liquid container may include a container case and a cleaning cloth that is removable and mounted on the container case. The cleaning cloth may include a first guiding member disposed thereon. The container case may include a second guiding member. The first guiding member and the second guiding member cooperate with each other to define an assembly direction of the cleaning cloth. The cleaning cloth can be installed correctly by defining the assembly direction of the first guiding member and the second guiding member.

Claims (22)

1. A liquid container of an autonomous cleaning robot, comprising:

a container case,

a cleaning cloth that is removable and mounted on the container case,

wherein the cleaning cloth comprises a first guiding member disposed thereon, the container case comprises a second guiding member disposed thereon, and the first guiding member and the second guiding member cooperate with each other and define an assembly direction of the cleaning cloth, and

wherein the first guiding member comprises a guiding strip, the second guiding member comprises a mounting groove, and the guiding strip is configured to be inserted in and fix the mounting groove to limit the movement of the cleaning cloth relative to the container case.

2. The liquid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cleaning cloth comprises a fixing portion on one side thereof, and the first guiding member is mounted on the fixing portion.

3. The liquid container as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cleaning cloth is semicircular, and the fixing portion is on the straight side of the cleaning cloth.

4. The liquid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guiding strip is fixed to the cleaning cloth by a connecting section, the mounting groove comprises a notch for avoiding the connecting portion, and the mounting groove has a first end provided with an opening for the guiding strip passing through and a second end provided with a stop structure to stop the guiding strip.

5. The liquid container as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary fixing structure fixed on the container case, wherein the cleaning cloth is fixed to the container case by the auxiliary fixing structure.

6. The liquid container as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the auxiliary fixing structure comprises an adhesive structure.

7. The liquid container as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cleaning cloth is a semicircular shape, and the cleaning cloth comprises a water-seepage area, a decontamination area and a water-absorption area.

8. An autonomous cleaning robot, comprising:

a main body, and

a cleaning assembly mounted on the main body, wherein the cleaning assembly comprises a first cleaning subassembly detachably mounted on the main body, in a case where the first cleaning subassembly is loaded or removed from the main body, the first cleaning subassembly moves in the forward direction or the backward direction of the main body, and the first cleaning subassembly comprises a liquid container, and

wherein the liquid container comprises a container case, a cleaning cloth that is removable and mounted on the container case, wherein the cleaning cloth comprises a first guiding member disposed thereon, the container case comprises a second guiding member disposed thereon, and the first guiding member and the second guiding member cooperate with each other and define an assembly direction of the cleaning cloth, and

wherein the first guiding member comprises a guiding strip, the second guiding member comprises a mounting groove, and the guiding strip is configured to be inserted in and fix the mounting groove to limit the movement of the cleaning cloth relative to the container case.

9. The autonomous cleaning robot as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the cleaning cloth comprises a fixing portion on one side thereof, and the first guiding member is mounted on the fixing portion.

10. The autonomous cleaning robot as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the cleaning cloth is semicircular, and the fixing portion is on the straight side of the cleaning cloth.

11. The autonomous cleaning robot as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the guiding strip is fixed to the cleaning cloth by a connecting section, the mounting groove comprises a notch for avoiding the connecting portion, and the mounting groove has a first end provided with an opening for the guiding strip passing through and a second end provided with a stop structure to stop the guiding strip.

12. The autonomous cleaning robot as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising an auxiliary fixing structure fixed on the container case, wherein the cleaning cloth is fixed to the container case by the auxiliary fixing structure.

13. The autonomous cleaning robot as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the auxiliary fixing structure comprises an adhesive structure.

14. The autonomous cleaning robot as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the cleaning cloth is a semicircular shape, and the cleaning cloth comprises a water-seepage area, a decontamination area and a water-absorption area.
