Abstract

A remote controlled sweep and wipe machine includes an upper housing and a carrying base which are removably assembled together to form an inner space for accommodating a battery, a remote control receiver and an electronic control device, two tires mounted at two sides of the rear end of the carrying base, a sweeping brush mounted in the inner space to contact with the floor, a dust collecting box for receiving the dust swept by the sweeping brush, a cleaning cloth set pivotally mounted on a rear rack at the rear end of the carrying base to contact with the floor and to wipe the floor, a universal wheel mounted under the carrying base at the front end thereof so as to direct the sweep and wipe machine, and a remote controller.

Claims

1. A remote controlled sweep and wipe machine, comprising:

an upper housing and a carrying base which are removably assembled together to form an inner space;

a battery, mounted in the inner space;

a remote control receiver, mounted in the inner space;

two tires, mounted at two sides of a rear end of the carrying base to contact with the floor and controlled by a motor change gear set to turn;

a sweeping brush, mounted in the inner space under a sweeping brush cover to contact with the floor and controlled by a first motor transmission set to have a pivot turn;

a dust collecting box, removably located in the inner space, adjacent to the sweeping brush and having a dust collecting opening at a surface opposite to the sweeping brush or receiving the dust swept by the sweeping brush;

a rear rack, mounted at the rear end of the carrying base through plural pivoting elements, and having a cleaning cloth set pivotally mounted thereon to contact with the floor, wherein the cleaning cloth set is controlled by a second motor transmission set so as to have a pivot turn;

a universal wheel, mounted under the carrying base at a front end thereof, and controlled by a steering motor set to rotate;

an electronic control device, electrically connected with the battery, the motor change gear set, the first motor transmission set, the second motor transmission set, the steering motor set and the remote control receiver; and

a remote controller, for wirelessly transmitting a direction control signal to the remote control receiver, so as to control the moving direction of the sweep and wipe machine.

2. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein two side brushes are respectively mounted at the two ends of the sweeping brush for gathering the dust toward the sweeping brush.

3. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sweeping brush comprises a brush main body and plural brush hairs mounted on the brush main body, wherein the brush main body is driven by the first motor transmission set to have a pivot turn so as to clean the floor through the brush hairs.

4. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the brush main body is connected to the first motor transmission set through one end thereof and the other end is removably pivoted to the carrying base through an engaging device.

5. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cleaning cloth set comprises an axle, which is pivoted to the rear rack, and plural cleaning cloth fixedly clipped by the axle and located on the outer surface of the axle, and the plural cleaning cloth is controlled by the second motor transmission set to have a pivot turn, so as to wipe the floor.

6. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 5, wherein the axle is connected to the second motor transmission set through one end thereof and the other end is removably pivoted to the rear rack at the rear end of the carrying base through an engaging device.

7. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein an adjusting connecting link is respectively mounted between the carrying base and the rear rack at two ends thereof, so that through adjusting the length of the connecting link, the force of the rack pressing to the floor is adjusted, and thus, a height of the cleaning cloth set from the floor is also adjusted.

8. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an external power source plugging hole for connecting to the electronic control device so as to charge the battery.

9. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dust collecting box is assembled by a box body and a box cover.

10. The remote controlled sweep and wipe machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the upper housing comprises a power button electrically connected with the electronic control device.
