Specifically, each rib 111b includes a first section 111b' and a second section 111b" connected to the first section 111b', the outer diameter of each first section 111b' is larger than the outer diameter of the corresponding second section 111b", The end of each first section 111b' away from the corresponding second section 111b" is installed in the cleaning tank 111a. In this way, the outer diameter of the second section 111b" is smaller, so that the ribs 111b can extend into the cleaning element 210 The inner layer cleans the cleaning element 210 .

The cross-sectional area of the cleaning tank 111a is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the cleaning part 210, so that the residual liquid dripped from any place of the cleaning part 210 can fall into the cleaning tank 111a, which is beneficial to the cleaning of the cleaning tank 111a. The residual liquid dripped from the piece 210 is collected.

Through the above technical solution, the driving part drives the cleaning part 210 to rotate relative to the plurality of ribs 111b, so that the ribs 111b can scrape the cleaning part 210, scrape off the stains on the cleaning part 210, and form the induction structure 320 at the same time. The ribs 111b extend into the inner layer of the cleaning piece 210 to heat and dry the cleaning piece 210 , which is beneficial to heating and drying the cleaning piece 210 . In addition, the ribs 111b can extend into the inner layer of the cleaning piece 210 to spread the cleaning piece 210, and then when the cleaning piece 210 is heated and dried, the flow of hot air generated by heating at the cleaning piece 210 can be accelerated to facilitate heating and drying. Cleaning piece 210 .

In other embodiments, the top side of the cleaning structure 111 may also be provided with a rolling brush (not shown) and a rotating member (not shown), and the rolling brush and the rotating member are both rotatably mounted on the top side of the cleaning structure 111. The component is used to drive the roller brush to rotate to remove the dirt on the cleaning component 210.

The plate 111c is partially penetrated to form an inlet 111c'. In such a configuration, the annular baffle 111c can form a barrier to the splashed liquid, thus preventing the liquid dropped from the cleaning element 210 into the cleaning tank 111a from being splashed into the external environment. Moreover, the cleaning element 210 can enter into the annular baffle 111c through the inlet 111c'.
