Abstract

Disclosed are a garbage bin and a water surface cleaning robot. The garbage bin includes a frame body having a fluid inlet, where the frame body is provided with a leakage prevention baffle, and the leakage prevention baffle arranged adjacent to the inlet is movably connected to the frame body; the leakage prevention baffle closes at least a portion of the area of the inlet when the leakage prevention baffle is in a predetermined position; on the contrary, the leakage prevention baffle opens the inlet. When the water surface cleaning robot needs to take a step back or to stop working and floats on the water surface, the leakage prevention baffle in a predetermined position can close at least part of the area of the inlet, so as to avoid the garbage in the garbage bin from leaking out from the inlet, so as to ensure the cleaning effect.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A garbage bin, comprising:
 a frame body having a fluid inlet, wherein   the frame body is provided with a leakage prevention baffle;   the leakage prevention baffle is movably connected to the frame body and the leakage prevention baffle is arranged adjacent to the inlet; and   the leakage prevention baffle closes at least a portion of the area of the inlet when the leakage prevention baffle is in a predetermined position; and the leakage prevention baffle opens the inlet when the leakage prevention baffle is in a non-predetermined position.   
     
     
         2 . The garbage bin according to  claim 1 , wherein the leakage prevention baffle comprises a movable structure, such that the leakage prevention baffle is capable of being in the predetermined position, the movable structure comprises at least one of: a) a material density of at least a portion of the area of the leakage prevention baffle is smaller than the density of water; b) an air cavity is provided on the leakage prevention baffle; and c) a counterweight is provided on the leakage prevention baffle. 
     
     
         3 . The garbage bin according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame body is further provided with a rolling member provided adjacent to the inlet, the garbage bin is viewed in a direction that fluid enters the frame body through the inlet, and the rolling member has an overlapping area with the leakage prevention baffle in the predetermined position. 
     
     
         4 . The garbage bin according to  claim 3 , wherein the rolling member does not contact the leakage prevention baffle in the predetermined position. 
     
     
         5 . The garbage bin according to  claim 1 , wherein the rolling member is further provided on the frame body adjacent to the inlet, and the leakage prevention baffle is in the non-predetermined position when the rolling member rotates. 
     
     
         6 . The garbage bin according to  claim 5 , wherein the rolling member is drivingly connected to the leakage prevention baffle. 
     
     
         7 . The garbage bin according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame body is further provided with a limiting structure for limiting a rotation angle range of the leakage prevention baffle, the rotation angle range of the leakage prevention baffle is 0°-100°, and the rotation angle of the leakage prevention baffle is an included angle between a direction of a free end of the leakage prevention baffle and a direction away from the inlet. 
     
     
         8 . The garbage bin according to  claim 7 , wherein the limiting structure is a limiting protrusion. 
     
     
         9 . The garbage bin according to  claim 1 , wherein a preset position of the leakage prevention baffle is such that an included angle between a direction of the free end of the leakage prevention baffle towards and away from the inlet is 80°-100°. 
     
     
         10 . The garbage bin according to  claim 1 , wherein both ends of the frame body are respectively provided with the inlets, and each of the inlets is correspondingly provided with the leakage prevention baffle. 
     
     
         11 . A garbage bin, comprising:
 a frame body having a fluid inlet, wherein   the frame body is provided with a leakage prevention baffle and a rolling member;   the leakage prevention baffle is movably connected to the frame body;   the leakage prevention baffle and the rolling member are arranged adjacent to the inlet; and   when the leakage prevention baffle is in a predetermined position, the garbage bin is viewed in a direction that fluid enters the frame body through the inlet, and the rolling member and the leakage prevention baffle in the predetermined position close the inlet.   
     
     
         12 . The garbage bin according to  claim 11 , wherein a preset position of the leakage prevention baffle is such that an included angle between a direction of a free end of the leakage prevention baffle relative to a direction away from the inlet is 80°-100°. 
     
     
         13 . The garbage bin according to  claim 12 , wherein the rolling member has an overlapping area with the leakage prevention baffle when the free end of the leakage prevention baffle is oriented at an angle of 90° relative to the direction away from the inlet when the garbage bin is viewed in the direction that fluid enters the frame body through the inlet. 
     
     
         14 . A water surface cleaning robot, comprising:
 a body having a cavity and a garbage bin located in the cavity, wherein the garbage bin comprises a frame body having an inlet and provided with a leakage prevention baffle, and the leakage prevention baffle is rotatably connected to the frame body and arranged adjacent to the inlet, and   when the water surface cleaning robot stands still in the water, the leakage prevention baffle is in a preset position.   
     
     
         15 . The water surface cleaning robot according to  claim 14 , wherein a top end of the leakage prevention baffle in a predetermined position protrudes from a water line. 
     
     
         16 . The water surface cleaning robot according to  claim 15 , wherein the top end of the leakage prevention baffle in the preset position is 5-20 mm above the water line. 
     
     
         17 . The water surface cleaning robot according to  claim 14 , wherein the leakage prevention baffle is urged by a flow of water to tilt rearwardly from the preset position to open the inlet when the water surface cleaning robot advances. 
     
     
         18 . The water surface cleaning robot according to  claim 14 , wherein the leakage prevention baffle is in the preset position when the water surface cleaning robot takes a step back. 
     
     
         19 . The water surface cleaning robot according to  claim 14 , wherein the leakage prevention baffle closes at least a portion of the area of the inlet when the leakage prevention baffle is in the predetermined position.
