wherein each of the rolling brush blades 121 includes a plurality of bristles extending radially outward; the combing member 123 is located on a rotation path of the drum brush blade 121 such that the bristles of the drum brush blade 121 are combed by the combing member 123 during periodic rotation with the front drum 125. So that when the bristles pass through the combing member 123, dirt such as hair, lint, filaments, etc. wound on the bristles can be intercepted by the combing member, and can be cut into finer dirt pieces by the bristles and carried forward again by the following bristles as the rolling brush blades continuously rotate, and then the dirt is thrown into the dry garbage collection chamber 112 through the dust throwing channel 1224 under the action of its own centrifugal force and inertia force, so as to be collected. Hereinafter and throughout the specification, the terms "front/front side" and "rear/rear side" should be understood as referring to the forward direction of the cleaner 1, specifically, the forward direction of the cleaner 1 is shown by the arrow H in fig. 1 and 5, wherein the direction indicated by the arrow H is "front/front side" and the direction opposite to the arrow H is "rear/rear side".
