The driving device 16 is connected with one of the roller brush body 11 and the scraping sleeve 13, and one of the roller brush body 11 and the scraping sleeve 13 is in transmission connection with the other one of the roller brush body 11 and the scraping sleeve 13. For example, the driving device 16 is connected with the rolling brush body 11, and the rolling brush body 11 is in transmission connection with the scraping sleeve 13; alternatively, the driving device 16 is connected with the scraping sleeve 13, and the scraping sleeve 13 is in transmission connection with the rolling brush body 11.

According to the floor brush assembly 1 of the first aspect of the present invention, the rolling brush body 11 and the scraping sleeve 13 are eccentrically arranged, the rolling brush body 11 and the scraping sleeve 13 respectively rotate under the driving of the driving device 16, the bristles 12 on the rolling brush body 11 can extend out and retract along the through hole direction of the scraping sleeve hole 1311 on the scraping sleeve 13, and the scraping sleeve hole 1311 can automatically clean and suck the hairs attached to the bristles 12 by the dust collector 100 in the process of retracting the bristles 12 out of the scraping sleeve hole 1311, so that the dust collector 100 can automatically clean the hairs during operation, manual cleaning is omitted, the design humanization of the dust collector 100 is improved, and the reduction of dust collection efficiency caused by hair blockage can be prevented.

According to some embodiments of the invention, as shown in fig. 7, the driving device 16 comprises: a drive motor 18 and a transmission assembly. The drive motor 18 has a drive shaft and the transmission assembly is connected between the drive shaft and the scraper sleeve 13. Thus, under the driving action of the transmission assembly, the driving motor 18 can drive the scraping sleeve 13 to rotate.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the driving device 16 further includes: drive gear 181. The driving gear 181 is fixed coaxially with the driving shaft, the transmission assembly comprises a first transmission gear 19 and a driving belt 20, the first transmission gear 19 is connected with the scraping sleeve 13, and the driving belt 20 is tensioned between the driving gear 181 and the first transmission gear 19 to keep the driving belt 20 having a proper tension during transmission, so as to avoid the driving belt 20 from slipping or the driving belt 20 from jumping and being pulled out due to tooth stripping. In this way, the driving gear 181 drives the driving belt 20 to move, and the driving belt 20 drives the first transmission gear 19 to rotate, so as to drive the scraping sleeve 13 to rotate, and the structure is simple and reliable.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the transmission assembly further comprises: a transmission member 21. The driving medium 21 is a hollow ring shape extending along the axial direction of the scraping sleeve 13, one end of the driving medium 21 is connected with the first driving gear 19, and the other end of the driving medium 21 is relatively fixed with the scraping sleeve 13. In this way, the first transmission gear 19 drives the transmission member 21 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the scraper sleeve 13 to rotate synchronously.

Wherein, the other end of driving medium 21 and scraping cover 13 relatively fixed mean: the scraping sleeve 13 and the transmission member 21 may be fixedly connected by welding, screwing, or the transmission member 21 and the scraping sleeve 13 may be in transmission connection by gear engagement, as long as the transmission member 21 can drive the scraping sleeve 13 to synchronously rotate, and the invention is not limited herein. For example, the transmission member 21 extends in the left-right direction, the right end of the transmission member 21 is connected to the first transmission gear 19, and the left end of the transmission member 21 is fixed to the right end of the scraping sleeve 13.

Further, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the transmission member 21 includes: outer ring plate 211, inner ring plate 212, and connecting plate 213.

Specifically, the outer ring plate 211 has a cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction of the wiper sleeve 13, one axial end of the outer ring plate 211 is fixed to the first transmission gear 19, and the other axial end of the outer ring plate 211 is fixed to the wiper sleeve 13. The inner ring plate 212 is cylindrical and extends in the axial direction of the scraper sleeve 13, and the inner ring plate 212 is located radially inward of the outer ring plate 211. The connection plate 213 is connected between the inner wall surface of the outer ring plate 211 and the outer wall surface of the inner ring plate 212. Thus, the first transmission gear 19 drives the outer ring plate 211 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the scraper sleeve 13 to rotate synchronously, and the installation is relatively firm.

For example, the outer ring plate 211 and the inner ring plate 212 extend in the left-right direction, respectively, the first transmission gear 19 is fitted around the outer peripheral wall of the right end of the outer ring plate 211, and the left end of the outer ring plate 211 is fitted around the outer peripheral wall of the wiper 13. The connection plate 213 is annular, and the outer circumferential wall of the connection plate 213 is fixed to the inner wall surface of the outer ring plate 211, and the inner circumferential wall of the connection plate 213 is fixed to the outer wall surface of the inner ring plate 212.

The outer ring plate 211, the inner ring plate 212 and the connecting plate 213 can be an integral piece, so that the integration level is high, the structure is compact, the corresponding assembly is omitted, and at the moment, the section formed by the transmission piece 21 in a vertical plane vertical to the front-back direction is in a general I shape; outer ring plate 211, inner ring plate 212, and connecting plate 213 may also be separate pieces.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the transmission assembly further comprises: a second transfer gear 22 and a third transfer gear 23. The second transmission gear 22 is fixedly connected with the rolling brush body 11. The third transmission gear 23 is meshed with the second transmission gear 22, and the third transmission gear 23 is fixed relative to the inner ring plate 212.

Thus, the outer ring plate 211 drives the inner ring plate 212 to rotate synchronously, the inner ring plate 212 drives the third transmission gear 23 to rotate synchronously, the third transmission gear 23 drives the second transmission gear 22 to rotate, and the second transmission gear 22 drives the rolling brush body 11 to rotate synchronously, so that the first transmission gear 19 can drive the scraping sleeve 13 and the rolling brush body 11 to rotate simultaneously.

The third transmission gear 23 and the inner ring plate 212 are relatively fixed, which means that: the third transmission gear 23 and the inner ring plate 212 may be fixedly connected by welding, screwing, or the like, or the third transmission gear 23 and the inner ring plate 212 may be in transmission connection by gear meshing, or the third transmission gear 23 and the inner ring plate 212 may form an integral piece, as long as the inner ring plate 212 can drive the third transmission gear 23 to synchronously rotate, and the invention is not limited herein.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 13, the second transmission gear 22 is in the shape of a cylinder extending in the axial direction of the roller brush body 11, one end of the second transmission gear 22 is formed with an engaging portion formed as external teeth, and the roller brush body 11 is fitted over the outer peripheral wall of the other end of the second transmission gear 22. In this way, the assembly of the roll brush body 11 with the second transmission gear 22 is facilitated.

Further, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the third transmission gear 23 is formed with a first meshing portion 231, the first meshing portion 231 is formed as internal teeth, and the first meshing portion 231 meshes with the second transmission gear 22 inside and outside. In this way, a stable transmission connection between the third transmission gear 23 and the second transmission gear 22 is ensured.

Further, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the third transmission gear 23 is further formed with a second meshing portion 232, the second meshing portion 232 is spaced apart from the first meshing portion 231 in the axial direction (for example, in the left-right direction), the second meshing portion 232 is formed as internal teeth, the outer wall surface of the inner ring plate 212 is provided with a third meshing portion 2121, the third meshing portion 2121 is formed as external teeth, and the second meshing portion 232 meshes with the third meshing portion 2121 inside and outside. Therefore, the inner ring plate 212 and the third transmission gear 23 are relatively fixed in a gear transmission mode, and compared with other fixing modes, the parts are more convenient to manufacture and assemble, and the structure is more stable.

Further, the first transmission gear 19, the second transmission gear 22, the first meshing portion 231, the second meshing portion 232, and the third meshing portion 2121 have the same number of teeth.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the driving belt drives the first transmission gear 19 to rotate, the scraping sleeve 13 is driven by the first transmission gear 19 to synchronously rotate, and the process of rotating the rolling brush body 11 is as follows: the outer ring plate 211 drives the inner ring plate 212 to rotate synchronously, the third engaging portion 2121 of the inner ring plate 212 is engaged with the second engaging portion 232 for transmission to drive the third transmission gear 23 to rotate, the first engaging portion 231 of the third transmission gear 23 is engaged with the second transmission gear 22 for transmission, and the second transmission gear 22 drives the rolling brush body 11 to rotate synchronously.

Since the numbers of teeth of the second transmission gear 22, the first meshing portion 231, the second meshing portion 232, and the third meshing portion 2121 are the same, that is, the ratio of the numbers of teeth of the second meshing portion 232 to the third meshing portion 2121 is the same as the ratio of the numbers of teeth of the second transmission gear 22 to the first meshing portion 231, the angular velocities of the inner ring plate 212, the third transmission gear 23, and the second transmission gear 22 are the same, so that the angular velocities of the first transmission gear 19 and the rolling brush body 11 are the same. And, the angular velocities of the scraper sleeve 13 and the first transmission gear 19 are the same, whereby the angular velocities of the roller brush body 11 and the scraper sleeve 13 can be made the same, i.e., the roller brush body 11 and the scraper sleeve 13 rotate synchronously at the same angular velocity, thereby ensuring the mutual correspondence of the positions of the bristles 12 and the scraper sleeve holes 1311 in the circumferential direction, and further ensuring that the bristles 12 are adapted to extend and retract into the corresponding scraper sleeve holes 1311 in the radial direction of the scraper sleeve 13.

The inventor has found through research that the involute profiles of standard gears allow them to roll over each other without relative slippage, minimizing wear, and increasing efficiency. However, since the present application requires the use of the inner and outer gears having the same number of teeth, if the inner ring plate 212, the third transmission gear 23 and the second transmission gear 22 all use the standard gears, interference may occur at the tips of the teeth of the standard gears, and the normal operation of the gears cannot be ensured. Also, if interference is avoided by modifying the shape of the teeth of the standard gear, a high wear rate and a great noise may be generated.

To this end, in some embodiments of the present invention, non-standard gears are used for the inner ring plate 212, the third transfer gear 23, and the second transfer gear 22. Thus, more gear teeth contact between the second engagement portion 232 and the third engagement portion 2121 and between the second transmission gear 22 and the first engagement portion 231 can be ensured, so that stress at each contact point is reduced, the wear rate of the gear is reduced, the service life of the gear is prolonged, and noise is low.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the free ends of the brush staples 12 and the first rotation central axis is not less than the maximum distance between the first rotation central axis and the inner circumferential wall of the scraper sleeve 13 in the radial direction of the drum brush body 11, and thus, in the rotating process of the rolling brush body 11 and the scraping sleeve 13, the brush hairs 12 on the rolling brush body 11 in a fully retracted state, the free end of the scraper sleeve can be positioned in the scraper sleeve hole 1311 and between the inner circumferential wall and the outer circumferential wall of the scraper sleeve 13, or can slightly extend out of the scraper sleeve hole 1311 in the radial direction and exceed the outer circumferential wall of the scraper sleeve 13, thus, on one hand, the scraping sleeve 13 is convenient for scraping the hair attached to the brush to the maximum extent, on the other hand, at least one part of the brush hair can be always positioned in the scraping sleeve hole, the free end of the brush hair is prevented from being completely separated from the scraping sleeve hole when retracting, thereby ensuring that the bristles 12 smoothly extend and retract in the direction of the through-holes of the grommet hole 1311.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 14 to 18, the brush bristles 12 are included in a plurality spaced apart in both circumferential and axial directions of the roller brush body 11, and the scraping sleeve holes 1311 are included in a plurality, and the plurality of scraping sleeve holes 1311 correspond to the plurality of brush bristles 12 one to one, whereby the cleaning efficiency of the cleaner 100 can be improved. For example, a first bristle group and a second bristle group may be disposed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rolling brush body 11, each bristle 12 group includes a plurality of bristles 12, and the plurality of bristles 12 may be arranged in a spiral line on the rolling brush body 11 along the direction of the first rotation center line; correspondingly, the circumferential direction of the scraping sleeve 13 can be provided with a first scraping sleeve hole group and a second scraping sleeve hole group at intervals, each scraping sleeve hole 1311 group comprises a plurality of scraping sleeve holes 1311, the scraping sleeve holes 1311 can be arranged on the scraping sleeve 13 along a spiral line along the direction of the second rotation center line, and the scraping sleeve holes 1311 correspond to the bristles 12 one to one.

In some embodiments of the invention, the diameter of the bristles 12 may be less than the minimum width dimension of the scraper sleeve hole 1311. Thus, the bristles 12 are easily extended or retracted from the casing scraping hole 1311, and the bristles 12 are prevented from being caught in the casing scraping hole 1311.

Because the scraping sleeve 13 and the rolling brush body 11 have an eccentric distance between the central rotation axes thereof, when the scraping sleeve 13 and the rolling brush body 11 rotate synchronously, the rolling brush body 11 has a rotation motion relative to the scraping sleeve 13 by taking the eccentric distance between the two central rotation axes as a radius, the bristles 12 arranged on the rolling brush body 11 also follow the rotation motion of the rolling brush body 11 relative to the scraping sleeve 13 by taking the eccentric distance between the two central rotation axes as a radius, and in order to ensure that the bristles 12 have a sufficient movement space in the circumferential direction of the scraping sleeve 13, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the length dimension of the scraping sleeve hole 1311 in the circumferential direction of the scraping sleeve 13 is not less than 2 times of the eccentric distance between the first central rotation axis and the second central rotation axis, so that the bristles 12 can have a sufficient stroke in the scraping sleeve hole 1311, and the scraping sleeve 13 is ensured not to interfere with the relative rotation motion of the rolling brush body 11.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 14 to 18, the wiper hole 1311 is formed as an elongated groove extending in the circumferential direction of the wiper 13. Thus, the bristles 12 can make a telescopic motion relative to the scraper sleeve hole 1311 along the radial direction of the rolling brush body 11 and make a circular motion in the scraper sleeve hole 1311, and the bristles 12 are prevented from interfering with the peripheral wall of the scraper sleeve hole 1311.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 14 to 18, the grommet hole 1311 includes a first hole portion 13111 and a second hole portion 13112, the first hole portion 13111 and the second hole portion 13112 are connected in a circumferential direction of the grommet 13, the first hole portion 13111 is formed in a circular shape, and the second hole portion 13112 extends away from the first hole portion 13111 in the circumferential direction of the grommet 13, wherein a width dimension of the second hole portion 13112 in an axial direction of the grommet 13 is smaller than a diameter of the first hole portion 13111, so that the first hole portion 13111 and the second hole portion 13112 can cooperate with each other to define a movement path for the bristles 12, while movement of the bristles 12 is made smoother. In addition, since the width dimension of the second hole 13112 is smaller, it is further advantageous to scrape off the hairs on the bristles by the side walls of the grommet hole 1311.
