In other words, the sweeper 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the body 10, which can be moved, the collecting device 20, which can collect the garbage 200 such as dust, the first brush 30, which cleans the garbage 200, the dust box 40 having the dust collecting space 41, the duct 50 having a flow guide function, the return duct 60 having a return function, and the fan 70, which can circulate the air in the return duct 60.
The collecting device 20 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle body 10, that is, the collecting device 20 is provided at the side of the vehicle body 10 close to the wheels. The refuse 200 can be collected by the collecting device 20 in the vicinity of the collecting device 20. Specifically, the garbage 200 may be swept into the collection device 20 by the first brush body 30 provided to the vehicle body 10.
After the garbage 200 is swept into the collecting device 20 by the first brush 30, the garbage 200 can be guided to the dust collecting space 41 through the guide pipe 50. The first brush body 30 may also assist in blowing the debris 200 on the floor away from the floor so that the high velocity airflow of the circulation system carries the debris 200 into the dust bin 40, thereby reducing the load on the air circulation system.
Further, since the return duct 60 is provided between the collecting device 20 and the dust box 40, the air in the dust collecting space 41 can be returned to the collecting device 20 through the return duct 60. A fan 70 is provided in the return duct 60, and the fan 70 may be connected to the dust box 40 through the return duct 60. The fan 70 allows the air in the return duct 60 to flow therethrough, thereby circulating the air in the sweeper 100.
For convenience of description, the height direction of the vehicle body 10 is defined as the up-down direction, and the length direction of the vehicle body 10 is defined as the horizontal direction.
As shown in fig. 1, a collection device 20 and a first brush 30 are disposed below a vehicle body 10, and when the first brush 30 is operated, for example, when the first brush 30 rotates around its own axis, garbage 200 in a certain area near the first brush 30 can be swept into the collection device 20. Subsequently, the garbage 200 in the collecting device 20 can enter the draft tube 50 by the air flow and pass through the draft tube 50 to enter the dust collecting space 41 of the dust box 40. The dust 200 can be accommodated in the dust collecting space 41, and the dust 200 can be separated from the air. The separated gas may be returned to the collection device 200 through the return duct 60. To achieve gas circulation, a fan 70 may be provided within the return duct 60.
It should be noted that the second end of the draft tube 50 is located at the upper part of the dust collecting space 41, and the air current mixed with the garbage 200 enters the dust collecting box 40 along the draft tube 50 and then horizontally sends out the mixed air current; the garbage with large specific gravity is physically precipitated, and the residual air flow is subjected to air circulation in the upper space in the dust box 40.
Accordingly, the sweeper 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention combines the vehicle body 10, the collection device 20, the first brush body 30, the dust box 40, the duct 50, the return duct 60 and the fan 70, thereby not only cleaning the garbage 200, but also realizing an air circulation system of a closed loop design without discharging the air with dust to the external environment.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the collecting device 20 may be located at a bottom middle position of the vehicle body 10 without interfering with front and rear wheels of the vehicle body 10.
In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the first brush bodies 20 are respectively disposed on both sides of the advancing direction of the vehicle body 20, that is, on both sides of the width direction, and may also be located on both sides of the front lower portion of the chassis of the vehicle body 10. The first brush bodies 20 on both sides can clean the garbage 200 on both sides to the bottom middle portion of the vehicle body 10. The garbage 200 can then be collected into the dust collection space 41 through the air circulation system by the collection device 20 located at the middle of the bottom of the vehicle body 10. Wherein the first brush body 20 may be one of a pair or two pairs.

By providing the return air duct 60 with an upper return air duct 61 and a lower return air duct 62, the position of the upper return air duct 61 is advantageously set, thereby facilitating the diversion of the gas in the dust collecting space 41 to the upper return air duct 61. In addition, the connection between the lower return air duct 62 and the collecting device 20 is facilitated, which facilitates the installation of the blower 70.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the second end of the draft tube 50 extends in a horizontal direction, and the first end of the return air duct 60 is disposed spaced apart from the second end of the draft tube 50.

A first end of the return duct 60 communicates with the upper portion of the dust collecting space 41, and a second end of the return duct 60 communicates with the collecting device 20. By arranging the second end of the draft tube 50 to extend in the horizontal direction and the first end of the return duct 60 to be spaced apart from the second end of the draft tube 50, the air flow mixed with the garbage 200 can be guided by the draft tube 50 arranged in the dust box 40 to be horizontally transferred, and the garbage 200 having a large specific gravity can be separated in the dust box 40 by using the physical precipitation principle. The rest gas can enter the return air pipe 60 after passing through the filter 80, and then sequentially enter the fan 70 and are sent into the collection device 20 along with the air outlet pipe 60 to circulate continuously, and the garbage 200 is carried into the dust collection box 40 to complete the cleaning of the garbage 200. Wherein the filter 80 can block finer debris, particles and collect the trash 200.
