The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it being understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
The present disclosure relates to a cleaning implement for cleaning floors, particularly smooth, flat, small area floors, such as household and kitchen floors. The cleaning implement of the present disclosure is particularly suitable for cleaning mixed waste that is mixed with dry waste, wet waste, and thick matter such as noodles, porridge, tomato sauce, and the like.
The dry garbage in the present disclosure refers to granular garbage, such as pericarp, melon seed shell, rice grain, paper sheet, etc.
The wet garbage is liquid garbage such as water, beverage, etc.
Viscous wet waste includes semi-solid waste with a certain viscosity such as soup, thick soup, porridge, tomato sauce, chocolate sauce and the like.
Other debris such as dust, floor marks, etc., are also objects of the present disclosure.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a cleaning tool of the present disclosure, fig. 2 is an exploded view of a cleaning head, fig. 3 is an internal structure of the cleaning head, fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view, fig. 5 is a schematic bottom surface of the cleaning head, and fig. 6 is a schematic side surface of the cleaning head. As shown in connection with fig. 1-6, the cleaning tool of the present disclosure includes a cleaning head and a handpiece connected. The hand-held portion includes a cleaning bar 301, an extension bar 302, the cleaning bar 301 and the extension bar 302 being connected by a connecting structure 304. The cleaning bar 301 is connected to the cleaning head by a hinge structure 305. The operator drives the cleaning head to move on the ground surface through the handheld part, and various garbage scattered on the ground surface is cleaned.
The cleaning head of the disclosed cleaning tool includes a housing 500 with a cleaning module mounted at the bottom of the housing and within the housing that separates debris from the floor and within the housing. Wheels 190 are mounted on the bottom surface of the shell, so that the contact between the non-cleaning module and the ground is reduced, and the dragging is more labor-saving.
The cleaning module includes a cleaning unit 110 disposed at the bottom of the housing, a squeezing unit 120 disposed in parallel with the cleaning unit, a dry garbage collection unit 150 disposed at the rear of the cleaning unit for storing dry garbage, a cleaning unit 130 disposed at the inlet of the dry garbage collection unit 150, a sewage collection unit 140, and a clean water supply unit 160.
The sweeping unit 110 includes a drum 111, a blade 112, a drum driving mechanism 113 and a drum driving mechanism 114. The drum driving mechanism drives the drum 111 to rotate counterclockwise in fig. 4 about its axis by the drum transmission mechanism. The blade 112 is fixed to the case 500 and has an arc-shaped working surface, and a gap having a uniform distance is formed between the arc-shaped working surface and the outer circumference of the drum 111.
The drum 111 includes an inner hard glue shaft and a sponge layer wrapped outside the hard glue shaft. The end of the hard plastic shaft may be fixed to the housing 500 by a connector such as a bearing. The roller driving mechanism 113 drives the hard rubber shaft to rotate around the axis through the roller driving mechanism 114, and drives the sponge layer to rotate, so that the surface of the sponge layer performs circular motion.
When the drum 111 rolls over the ground, the particles of dry waste on the ground compress and deform the sponge layer, which wraps the particles of dry waste by deformation, so that the particles of dry waste are separated from the ground and rotate with the drum 111. When the position of the shovel bar 112 is reached, the particles of dry garbage leave the ground and are extruded by the shovel bar 112 and continue to rotate together with the roller 111. When the shovel bar 112 is rotated to the inlet of the dry garbage collection unit 150, the sponge layer 111b is deformed in a restoration manner due to the loss of the compression of the shovel bar 112, and the dry garbage particles wrapped by the sponge layer are released and flicked into the dry garbage collection unit 150.
The axis of the pressing unit 120 is disposed in parallel with the drum 111, and may be fixed to the case 500 by both ends, or may be fixed to the case 500 by a snap structure. The hardness of the pressing unit 120 is much greater than that of the sponge layer 111 b. The distance between the pressing unit 120 and the axis of the drum 111 is smaller than the sum of the radii of the two, and thus, the pressing unit 120 presses the drum surface after assembly. A wringing zone B is formed at a position where the wringing unit 120 faces the drum 111.
Fig. 7 is a schematic view of the formation of the wringing zone, and as shown in fig. 7, the squeezing unit 120 interferes with the drum 111, squeezing the sponge layer 111b of the drum at the interference. In the drawing, the drum 111 rotates clockwise, and a wringing zone B is formed below the wringing unit 120 in the drawing. The water carried on the drum sponge layer 111b flows out after being squeezed, and is collected by the sewage collecting unit 140. When the roller passes through the wet garbage, the sponge layer carries the wet garbage to continuously rotate clockwise. On the drum, the sponge layer from the ground point M (the position contacting the ground) to the pressing point N (the position contacting the pressing unit 120) contains sewage, the sewage leaves the sponge layer in the water pressing area B by the pressing unit 120, and is collected by the sewage collecting unit 140, so that the water content of the sponge layer passing through the pressing point N is unsaturated, and water absorption can be continued when the sponge layer rotates again to the point M to contact the ground, thus the cleaning tool can continuously absorb water accumulated on the ground, avoiding the sponge saturation from failing to absorb water effectively.
The cleaning tool of the present disclosure further includes a clean water supply unit 160. The purified water supply unit 160 directly or indirectly supplies purified water onto the sponge layer 111 b. The purified water enters the inside of the sponge layer, overflows from the sponge layer when being pressed by the pressing unit 120, and peels off dirt attached to the surface of the sponge layer 111b, thereby cleaning the surface of the drum.
As the roller rolls over the viscous wet waste on the floor, the semi-solid waste adheres to the surface of the sponge layer 111 b. The purified water supplied from the purified water supply unit 160 washes away the garbage layer attached to the surface of the sponge layer 111 b.
In order to maintain the relatively dry state of the pressed sponge layer, the purified water supply unit 160 sets a purified water outlet in the squeezing area. The sponge layer 111b absorbs purified water in the squeezing area to become saturated, and then the wet garbage and water adsorbed from the ground locked by the sponge layer are discharged through the squeezing of the squeezing unit 120, and the liquid is discharged, so that the garbage on the surface of the sponge layer 111b is taken away, and the surface of the sponge layer 111b is kept clean. Thus, the present disclosure can achieve cleaning of the surface of the roller brush 111 without an operator's hand or interruption of the cleaning operation, and the surface of the roller brush that contacts the ground is clean during pushing of the roller.
The present disclosure also includes a cleaning unit 130. The cleaning unit 130 is disposed above the inlet of the dry waste collection unit 150. When the surface of the drum rotates to the upper end of the shovel bar and reaches the inlet of the dry garbage collection unit 150, the solid garbage attached to the surface of the drum cannot be separated from the sponge layer 111b by the elasticity and the dead weight of the sponge, the cleaning unit 130 scrapes the solid garbage, and the scraped garbage falls under the dead weight and falls into the dry garbage collection unit 150. The cleaning unit 130 is particularly suitable for some small and light easily attached refuse, such as paper sheets, etc. The cleaning unit 130 keeps the surface of the sponge layer 111b free of dry waste.
The cleaning tool of the present disclosure further includes a water circulation module 200, and the water circulation module 200 includes a sewage collection unit 140 and a purified water supply unit 160 connected by a pipe. The sewage is extruded from the drum 111, the extruded sewage is collected to the sewage collecting unit 140 through a pipe, purified and then enters the purified water supply unit 160 to be recycled, sprayed to the water extrusion area again, and the rolling brush is cleaned.
The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are:
When the mop is used for cleaning the ground, the moist outer sponge contacts the ground, so that dust on the ground can not be raised, the mop has the effect of a common mop, and secondary pollution is prevented;
the outer sponge is matched with the shovel strips, so that the solid garbage can be completely collected;
The cleaning unit separates and collects the solid garbage attached to the outer layer sponge, and keeps the surface of the outer layer sponge free of the solid garbage;
The roller absorbs ground wet garbage, when water in the roller is extruded, the adhesive garbage attached to the surface of the roller is stripped and diluted, a water-soluble part is brought into a sewage tank, a water-insoluble part is stripped from the roller and enters a solid garbage tank, so that the adhesive garbage can be treated, and dry garbage and wet garbage can be separated;
The extrusion unit extrudes the liquid locked in the outer sponge to keep the unsaturated state of the outer sponge, so that the cleaning tool can continuously clean the liquid garbage;
The pure water supply unit and the extrusion unit act together, so that the roller contacted with the ground can be kept in a clean state all the time;
Accordingly, the present disclosure cleans viscous wet waste, particularly the mixing of various types of waste, and is capable of separating dry and wet waste, continuously keeping the outer sponge surface of the drum clean.
The components of the present disclosure, and the combination of the components, are not unique, and will be described one by one.
Embodiments of the roller
Fig. 8 is a schematic view of a drum structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 8, the drum includes a hard rubber shaft 111c at the shaft center and a sponge layer 111b wrapped around and fixed to the circumferential surface of the hard rubber shaft.
The density and hardness of the sponge have a direct effect on the water absorption and storage (also known as water locking). When the density of the sponge is improved to a certain extent, the water absorption performance is reduced, the hardness is improved, the water storage rate is improved, otherwise, the density of the sponge is reduced, the water absorption is improved, the hardness is reduced, and the water storage rate is reduced.
The drum of this embodiment has only a single sponge layer, and the sponge layer 111b is made by foaming polyvinyl alcohol (polyvinyl alcohol, vinylalcohol polymer, abbreviated as PVA). The PVA sponge has a density of 0.25-0.5g/cm 3 and a water absorption of 0.5-1.5g/cm 3. The Shore hardness A of the PVA sponge is 40-70. The water storage rate of the PVA sponge is 0.2-1.0g/cm 3. The sponge layer of this disclosure, because it possesses above-mentioned characteristic, consequently compare with current ordinary sponge cylinder of individual layer, has better effect:
The sponge layer has proper water absorption performance and water storage rate, and proper density and hardness, so that the sponge can be deformed properly in the mopping process, garbage particles are wrapped, most of the garbage particles can be ejected out by utilizing elasticity of the sponge layer when the sponge layer is limited by turning over a shovel bar, the sponge layer is separated from the garbage particles and falls into a dry garbage collection unit, omission is avoided, and the sponge can absorb more water when the accumulated water on the ground is treated, and less water remains on the towed bottom surface.
The single-layer sponge layer of the present disclosure does not have the disadvantage of affecting the life of the roller due to the separation of the double-layer sponge layer from the layer by extrusion.
The thickness of the sponge layer of the present disclosure is typically 3-15mm, which deforms sufficiently to encapsulate common particulate trash. The household cleaning tool is provided with a sponge layer with the thickness of 5-10mm, so that the household floor common dry garbage can be treated.
The diameter of the roller of the present disclosure can be as small as 15mm and as large as 700mm.
For example, a sponge layer with the thickness of 3mm is attached to the outer side of a solid hard rubber shaft rod with the diameter of 9mm, and the solid hard rubber shaft rod is assembled into the cleaning tool, so that dry garbage with small particle size can be treated, and the solid hard rubber shaft rod can be applied to cleaner places such as a convention center and a museum.
A drum with a diameter of 700mm is generally used outdoors or in places where dry waste particles are large.
On the surface of the drum, there may be further provided a spiral protrusion, which may be referred to as a first spiral protrusion 111f, as shown in fig. 8, one extending from one end of the drum to the other end, and in other embodiments, two spiral protrusions may be provided, the pitches of the two spiral protrusions being the same, extending from the opposite side of one end of the drum to the other end of the drum. I.e. the starting ends of the two spiral protrusions are located on the same generatrix of the drum. In other embodiments, the arrangement of the two helical protrusions may also be different, starting from the same generatrix at the ends of the drum, extending in opposite helical directions towards the middle. At the approaching position of the two spiral bulges, namely the middle part of the roller, a linear bulge parallel to the axial direction is arranged, and the linear bulge is connected with the two spiral bulges.

As shown in fig. 8 to 12, one end of the hard plastic shaft includes a connecting shaft, and the other end is hollow cylindrical.
One end of the driving motor 113a is fixed on the cleaning head through a fixing seat 113e and a rotating shaft 113c, and the other end can rotate around the rotating shaft at a certain angle. The hollow end of the hard glue shaft 111c is sleeved on the motor, the end abuts against the driving motor 113a, and the other end of the hard glue shaft is fixed on a pressing telescopic device on the cleaning head. The pressing telescoping device 113f includes parts such as button, spring and dog, and the button atress, compression spring drive dog displacement leave the position of resisting hard rubber axle, can shift out the gyro wheel mounting groove on the cleaning head casing with this end of hard rubber axle 111c this moment, and the other end drives the driving motor 113a in it and revolutes the rotation of axle 113c together, forms the form of fig. 12, 13, and the cylinder can be taken off again from the motor, can take off cylinder 111. The stop block is retracted when the button of the telescopic device is pressed, and the stop block is reset when the button is released. The reverse operation is achieved and the drum can be mounted on the cleaning head. Or press the telescoping device setting on the cylinder, press the button, the spring drives the dog shrink, promotes from the concave part on the dog cleaning head casing for the cylinder breaks away from the constraint of cleaning head, can take out the cylinder easily at this moment.
The roller of the present disclosure may be also made into a structure with two ends blocked, and the driving motor is connected to the roller through a connecting piece to drive the roller to rotate. The cleaning tool with the roller driving motor can reduce the thrust of an operator to the cleaning tool and is suitable for operators with insufficient strength.
The spiral bulges on the roller can guide the sewage extruded by the extrusion unit to a designated position along the trend of the threads, such as a sewage pipe suction nozzle, so that sewage overflow can be prevented, and secondary pollution to the bottom surface is caused.
Embodiments of the extrusion unit
The squeeze unit of the present disclosure includes an elongated object juxtaposed with and disposed in interference with a roller. The strip-shaped object is fixed on the shell of the cleaning head, interferes with the roller, has hardness greater than that of the sponge layer on the surface of the roller, and can press the sponge layer to deform. The extrusion unit may have different physical structures, each having advantages.
The pressing unit as in fig. 9 includes a fixing base 125 and a bar-shaped protrusion 126. The extrusion unit is fixed on the shell through the fixing seat. When the drum 111 rotates around its own axis, the strip-shaped protrusions 126 are not moved, the sponge layer passing through the strip-shaped protrusions is deformed by extrusion, and most of the water locked by the sponge layer is extruded out of the sponge surface and flows down.
The pressing unit may be a pressing roller having a cylindrical shape. Is fixed on the cleaning head by two ends. The surface of the squeeze roll may be smooth or may have spiral protrusions.
Fig. 14 is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of a squeeze roller, and as shown in fig. 14, a squeeze roller 121 of this embodiment includes a roller body 121a having a cylindrical shape and being mounted on a housing of a cleaning head through both ends. The circumferential surface of the roller body 121a is provided with spiral protrusions, which may be referred to as second spiral protrusions 121f for the sake of distinction from the spiral protrusions on the drum. The number of the spiral bulges on the circumferential surface of the extrusion roller is one, and the spiral bulges extend from one end to the other end of the extrusion roller.
Fig. 15 is a schematic view showing the structure of another embodiment of the squeeze roll. This embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in fig. 14 in that the second spiral protrusion 121f is two in number, and extends from the same generatrix at both ends of the roller body 121a toward the middle of the roller body in opposite spiral directions.
In this embodiment, a middle portion of the roller body 121a is provided with two second spiral protrusions 121f, and a straight protrusion 121g axially parallel to the roller body 121a is provided at a middle position of the second spiral protrusions 121f, and the straight protrusion 121g may be connected to the two second spiral protrusions.
In this way, a closed sidewall may be formed at the surface of the roller body 121 a.
The side wall of the spiral bulge can play a role in pushing water, so that the sewage pressed out by the extrusion roller is pushed to the sewage port.
The squeeze roll shown in fig. 14 is provided at the cleaning head with the sewage port at the side, and the squeeze roll shown in fig. 15 is provided at the cleaning head with the sewage port at the middle of the squeeze roll.
Fig. 16 is a schematic view of a thread guide. In fig. 16, the water flow direction is shown by an arrow, the drum 111 is rotated clockwise, the squeeze roll 121 is rotated counterclockwise, and a squeezed water tank is formed at an angle between the squeeze roll 121 and the drum. The water purifying port is arranged at the right end of the machine, the water pumping port is arranged at the left end of the machine, threads are added at the squeeze roller 121 for enabling water to flow rapidly, the side surface of the threads can play a role in pushing water, water flow is enabled to be faster, accumulation is avoided, and the water surface rises and overflows the shell.
In the cleaning tool with the sewage port and the water purifying port on two opposite sides of the cleaning head, a secondary water tank is arranged beside the roller for accelerating the water flow. FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of a secondary sink structure. The secondary water tank 1410 is angled. The water inlet 1411 is slightly higher than the water outlet 1412. After the pressing unit 120 presses the water of the drum 111, the water of the drum flows into the water tub along the surface of the drum, and the water flow rate in the water tub is relatively fast due to a certain inclination angle of the water tub. The efficiency of the washing cylinder is improved.
In addition, the arrangement mode of the second spiral protrusion can also be changed, for example, the second spiral protrusion is two, the thread pitches are the same, and the second spiral protrusion extends from the opposite side of one end of the roller body to the other end of the roller body. That is, based on the embodiment of fig. 14, a second spiral protrusion is added, and the starting points of the two second spiral protrusions are located at opposite sides of the circumference of the roller body.
Fig. 18 is a schematic view of the internal structure of a cleaning tool with the squeeze roller of fig. 14 and the drum of fig. 8. In the present embodiment, the drum 111 has a first spiral protrusion 111f, the pressing roller 121, and a second spiral protrusion 121f. The thrust to water is stronger.
The squeezing unit interferes with the roller, and squeezed water exists between the squeezing unit and the roller to form a water tank. The surface of the roller can be sprayed with purified water or the purified water is injected into the water tank to clean the surface of the roller. As shown in fig. 19, the squeeze roller 121 interferes with the drum 111, and a water tank a is formed above the interference of the squeeze roller and the drum.
The position where the pressing unit is provided takes into consideration the formation position of the water tank. In fig. 19, when the drum 111 rotates clockwise, the pressing roller 121 is disposed at the upper right of the drum, and the water tank is formed at the right half of the drum. In fig. 20, when the drum 111 rotates counterclockwise and the pressing roller 121 is disposed at the upper left, the water tank is formed at the left half.
The present disclosure refers to the stationary extrusion of the extrusion unit relative to the housing as static extrusion. The static extrusion structure is simple, and the extrusion unit can be directly integrated with the main structural component of the machine. The design is more convenient.
The extrusion unit can be fixed and can also rotate.
In one embodiment, blind holes may be provided at both ends of the roll body. The pressing unit further comprises a bearing, a bearing mounting seat and a connecting short shaft. The bearing is fixed on the shell of the cleaning head through the bearing mounting seat, one end of the connecting short shaft is fixed in the bearing, and the other end is fixed in the blind hole.
Or the two ends of the roller main body are provided with connecting shafts which are fixed in the bearings.
Whereby the squeeze roller is rotatably secured to the housing of the cleaning head.
The squeeze roller can be provided with a power mechanism for actively squeezing water, so that the cost can be saved, the squeeze roller is not provided with the power mechanism, and the squeeze roller rotates by virtue of the friction force of the roller.
The first motor may be fixed to the housing of the cleaning head, and the first motor may be connected to the squeeze roller to drive the squeeze roller to rotate.
When the drum is also equipped with a driving motor, the driving motor rotates in the opposite direction to the first motor. Therefore, the power is saved most, the driving motor and the first motor can be motors within 10W, so that the cleaning of the common household cleaning tool can be realized, and the cleaning tool is noiseless and environment-friendly.
Of course, the driving motor and the first motor may also rotate in the same direction. The rotational speed of the first motor and the driving motor can be generally equal to the inverse ratio of the diameters of the squeeze roller and the drum, so that the linear speed at the contact position of the squeeze roller and the drum is the same, and the power is saved most.
When the rotating speed of the first motor is larger than that of the driving motor, the squeezing effect of the squeezing roller is better than that of the situation. But the energy consumption of the first motor is relatively high.
When the rotating speed of the first motor is smaller than that of the driving motor, the squeezing effect of the squeezing roller is better than that of the situation that the squeezing roller does not rotate.
Embodiments of the cleaning Unit
The cleaning unit of the present disclosure may take many forms.
Rolling brush assembly embodiment
The cleaning unit of fig. 16, 18, 19, 20 is a roll brush assembly. As shown, the roller brush assembly 131 includes a roller brush shaft 131b, bristles 131a. The brush 131a is disposed on the circumferential surface of the rolling brush shaft 131 b. The bristles shown in fig. 16 are arranged in a V shape, and the bristles shown in fig. 18 are arranged in a straight line along the direction of the bus bar. The brush roller assembly is made by planting brush hairs on a plastic brush roller, and the brush roller can be made into a hollow or solid structure and is implemented in a specific structure. The rolling brush is uniformly provided with 6-8 groups of brush hair.
The rolling brush circumference may be driven by a motor, and the rolling brush shaft 131b is connected to a third driving motor through a coupling. The rolling brush is rotated.
Wherein the diameter of bristles 131a is typically selected to be 0.1mm nylon bristles. The length of the bristles 131a is set according to a specific structure. Bristles 131a of the roll brush assembly 131 contact the surface of the drum 111. The micro-contact generally interferes between 0.5 and 1mm, so that the brush hair can slightly flap the solid garbage such as floating ash on the rolling brush. If too much interference increases the damping of the drum, but also the water in the sponge layer of the drum is thrown out and then enters the garbage box through the roller brush track, so that the garbage box is excessively moist.
The structural arrangement of the rolling brush and the roller can take various forms, and mainly realizes the functions.
The roller brush assembly may be used in all types of cleaning tools mentioned in this disclosure.
In-line brush embodiment
The cleaning unit shown in fig. 21 is an in-line brush 132. An in-line brush 132 is secured to the housing of the cleaning head. The cleaning tool of figure 21 operates by absorbing the wet or viscous waste water-containing portion of the floor after the roller 111 rolls the waste by a layer of sponge that is unsaturated with the roller. For the deformation of the solid garbage drum sponge layer, the solid garbage drum sponge layer is wrapped and then rolled up. Through the rails of the shovel bar 112 and then to the highest point of the shovel bar, the solid garbage falls into the garbage box 141 at the bottom under the action of the rebound and gravity of the sponge layer without relative extrusion. The upper end of the garbage box 141 is provided with straight-line brush hairs, the length of the straight-line brush 132 is consistent with that of the roller 111, the brush hairs are uniformly arranged, and the brush hairs are used for sweeping away fine garbage such as fluff and floating ash adhered to the roller. As little of this waste as possible is allowed to enter the sink. The structure saves space, reduces cost and can achieve good cleaning effect.
In-line brushes may be used in all types of cleaning tools mentioned in this disclosure.
Embodiment of the scraper bar assembly
Under the condition of relatively more viscous garbage, if a rolling brush or an in-line brush is used for cleaning the roller, viscous objects can adhere to the brush, and finally, the cleaning machine can be difficult. To this end, the present disclosure adopts a scraping bar and scraping structure to scrape the viscous wet garbage on the roller into the dustbin, and the cleaning unit is a scraping bar assembly 133 as shown in fig. 23, 3 and 9.
As shown in connection with fig. 23, 3 and 9, the wiper strip assembly 133 includes an elongated wiper strip holder 133c for attachment to the cleaning head. The scraper holder 133c is provided with a substantially herringbone friction portion 133a and a drainage portion 133b. For ease of understanding, in the coordinates of fig. 23, the X direction is referred to as the longitudinal direction, the substantially Y direction is referred to as the wide direction, and the substantially Z direction is referred to as the high direction.
The wiper strip assembly 133 is formed by the wiper strip holder extending in a wide direction. The drainage portions 133b are located at both ends of the scraper bar support and extend substantially in the height direction of the scraper bar support.
In the cleaning tool shown in fig. 9, the cleaning tool includes a drum 111, a motor 113a driving the drum, a blade 112, and a trash box 141.
Wherein the outer layer of the roller is supported by a water-absorbing sponge layer, the inner layer is supported by a hard rubber shaft, and driving forces are arranged at the two ends or the center of the hard rubber shaft so that the roller can rotate.
Wherein a scraper bar support 133c is fixed at a position above the garbage can 141 and closely attached to the drum 111. The friction part and the drainage part can be made of silica gel with the Shore hardness A of 40-80, so that the scraping strip component 133 can be tightly contacted with the roller 111, and the end head of the friction part interferes with the surface of the roller by 0-0.5mm. The friction part 133a can peel off the floating ash and the viscous garbage remained on the drum 111 from the drum, and drop the same into the garbage box 141. The drainage part 133b is overlapped with the roller 111 by 0.5-3mm, and the drainage part 133b is used for sealing water and preventing water in the water tank from flowing into the garbage box from two ends of the scraping strip because the water tank for cleaning the roller is designed above.
The material of the drainage part is not limited to the soft rubber, and can be made of hard material.

The limiting block 115b abuts against the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 115a under the action of the spring, so that the ratchet 115a can only rotate anticlockwise as shown in fig. 3.
The cleaning implement of this embodiment is advanced by the operator by pushing the cleaning implement only for dry waste, wet waste and sticky waste or a mixture of the three types of waste, so that the drum passes over the ground where the waste is scattered and the drum rotates. The clean water in the clean water tank falls on the surface of the roller by means of dead weight to wet the roller. The sponge on the surface of the roller wraps the dry garbage, the dry garbage enters the garbage box under the action of the shovel strips, the wet garbage is absorbed by the sponge layer of the roller, and the sticky garbage is adhered to the surface of the roller. The squeezing roller extrudes water absorbed in the sponge layer, washes the surface of the lower sponge layer, and can wash away the sticky garbage attached on the sponge layer and fall into a sewage tank. The surface of the roller after extrusion is recovered to be clean, so that the roller is still clean when contacting the ground again.
The sponge roller is contacted with the ground and rubbed, which is equivalent to the action of wiping the ground, so that the imprinting on the ground can be cleaned.
When the ground has sticky garbage, the sponge roller can suck wet parts into the sponge micropores, soft garbage is wrapped by the slightly dry parts of the roller, and then the sticky garbage is brought into the machine under the cooperation of the shovel bars.
The embodiment can clean solid garbage, can clean wet garbage and sticky garbage, and can perfectly solve the problems existing in the existing cleaning tools on the market at present. The cleaning efficiency is improved.
