The cleaning head 10 in any of the above embodiments includes a heating device for heating the fluid, and the fluid distributor 66 (refer to fig. 16) may be provided to the heating device, and the heating device is used to heat the fluid before the fluid flows out of the fluid distributor 66, and then the heated fluid flows out of the fluid distributor 66. Since the heating device is stationary relative to the housing when the brush roller rotates, the heating device needs to be stationarily disposed in the accommodating space. The heating means is in fluid communication with the lines of the cleaning liquid supply system for heating the fluid and delivering the heated fluid to the at least one set of fluid outlets 15. The heating device is arranged in the roller brush, so that the distance between the heated fluid flowing out of the heating device and the fluid outlet 151 of the roller brush cylinder 1 can be shortened, the heat loss of the fluid in the process is reduced, the temperature of the fluid sprayed out of the fluid outlet 151 is ensured to be kept at a certain temperature, and the cleaning effect is improved. The heating means may also be a steam generator for generating steam which is sprayed through the fluid outlet 151 onto the wipe 17 and/or the surface to be cleaned. The structure of the heating device is described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 5-13, a heating device is used to heat the fluid, the heating device comprising an elongated body 65, a heating element 63, and a flow directing element 64. The elongate body 65 includes along its length the elongate body 65 with oppositely disposed first and second ends 652, 653; the elongated body 65 may have any shape, and may be an elongated solid cylinder or an elongated hollow cylinder, which is not limited in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 13, the heating element 63 is disposed within a heating zone 651 defined by the elongated body 65. As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the heating region 651 can be disposed only partially within the elongated body 65. In other embodiments, the heating region 651 can also be distributed throughout the elongated body 65. The heating element 63 may be an electrical heating blade secured to the heating region 651 of the elongate body 65 by adhesive or the like. The heating element 63 may also be etched directly onto the elongated body 65, and will not be described in detail herein with respect to the etching process. When the elongated body 65 comprises an outer wall and an inner wall 16, the heating element 63 may be arranged on the outer wall or the inner wall 16 of the elongated body 65, depending on the shape of the elongated body 65 and the actual requirements.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, and also to fig. 7, a flow directing element 64 is used to direct fluid through a heating zone 651 before it is delivered to at least one set of exit ports 62. The flow guide element 64 may be made of rubber material, or may be made of plastic material or other heat insulating material, which is not limited herein. The flow directing elements 64 define flow passages therein through which fluid is heated. When the heating element 63 is in direct contact with the deflector element 64, the elongate body 65 may be of a thermally insulating material, such that the heat generated by the heating element 63 heats the fluid to a substantial extent. When the heating element 63 is disposed outside the elongated body 65 and transfers heat to the flow guiding element 64 through the elongated body 65, the elongated body 65 may be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, solid thermal conductive silicone, and the like, which is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 5-9, 12-13, in the embodiment shown, the elongated body 65 is a cylindrical structure defining a receiving space in which at least a portion of the deflector element 64 is disposed. As shown in the figure, the flow guiding element 64 is a cylindrical structure, and a flow guiding channel 641 is disposed on a position of the surface of the flow guiding element 64 corresponding to the heating area 651, and in order to improve the heating efficiency, the flow guiding channel 641 is a groove-shaped structure, and the groove-shaped structure cooperates with the inner wall 16 of the elongated body 65 to form a closed channel. In this way, the fluid can be in direct contact with the heating element 63 or the elongated body 65, with greater heating efficiency. The flow guide passage 641 includes a first passage 642 and a second passage 643 communicating with the first passage 642 and disposed downstream of the first passage 642. At least a portion of the first channel 642 is bent and extends along the length direction. The bending extension may be a circuitous extension or a spiral extension. By adopting the arrangement mode, the heating efficiency can be effectively improved. At least a portion of the second channel 643 extends along a length of the elongate body 65. At least a portion of second passage 643 corresponds to outlet 621, and fluid in second passage 643 is discharged through outlet 621. Referring to fig. 12 and 13, elongated body 65 is provided with at least one set of exit ports 62, where the set of exit ports 62 includes a plurality of exit ports 621, and the plurality of exit ports 621 are spaced apart between first end 652 and second end 653. The liquid outlet 621 is arranged in such a way, so that uniform liquid outlet along the length direction of the elongated body 65 can be effectively ensured. In order to make the liquid output from each liquid outlet 621 relatively uniform, the inlet of the second passage 643 is generally disposed at an intermediate position corresponding to the group of liquid outlets 62.

With continued reference to fig. 12 and 13, when the elongated body 65 is cylindrical, in order to ensure uniform liquid discharge in the circumferential direction thereof, the elongated body 65 includes a plurality of groups of liquid outlet ports 621, the plurality of groups of liquid outlet ports 621 being arranged at intervals in the width direction (circumferential direction) of the elongated body 65. Of course, in other embodiments, when the elongated body 65 has other shapes, in order to ensure uniform liquid discharge, a plurality of groups of liquid discharge holes 621 may be disposed along the width direction. When there are multiple sets of liquid outlets 621, multiple second passages 643 connected in parallel are correspondingly disposed, and each second passage 643 corresponds to one set of liquid outlets 62. Referring to the figures, when cylindrical elongated body 65 is provided with two sets of exit orifices 621. The second passage 643 includes a left flow passage and a right flow passage connected in parallel with each other, and the left flow passage and the right flow passage are respectively provided on both sides of the first passage 642 in the width direction of the elongated body 65. Referring to fig. 9, the heating device further includes a liquid inlet 61, and the liquid inlet 61 is disposed on the flow guiding element 64.

Referring to fig. 7 and 12, the heating area 651 is disposed at the lower end of the elongated body 65 along the gravity direction, and the flow guiding element 64 is disposed above the heating area 651, so that during the operation of the heating device, the fluid in the flow guiding channel 641 can cling to the heating area 651 due to the gravity, and even if the flow in the flow guiding channel 641 is insufficient, the liquid can fully contact with the heating area 651, thereby ensuring the heating effect of the liquid.

Since the heating device (or fluid distributor) does not rotate with the brush roll, fluid discharged from the heating device enters the annular cavity and is discharged. Therefore, special structures are designed in the annular cavity to ensure smooth discharge of the liquid from the fluid outlet 151. For this reason, the present application provides the following solutions to the above-described problems. Referring to fig. 16-19, fig. 16 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a brushroll built-in fluid dispenser. FIG. 17 is a schematic view of an embodiment of a heating element built into the brush roll. FIG. 18 is a schematic structural view showing a liquid collecting chamber formed on the inner wall of the roller brush body in one embodiment. FIG. 19 is a schematic view of a liquid collecting chamber formed on the inner wall of the roller brush body in one embodiment. Referring to fig. 10, 11, 13 and 14, in some embodiments, a fluid distributor 66 is disposed in the receiving space, the fluid distributor 66 is in fluid communication with the supply line, and the fluid distributor 66 includes a plurality of liquid outlets 621 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the brush roller; wherein, be provided with a plurality of collecting chambers 13 corresponding with liquid outlet 621 in the accommodation space of round brush barrel 1, a plurality of collecting chambers 13 are arranged along the axial direction interval of brush roll, and round brush barrel 1 is provided with at least a set of fluid export 15, and the liquid that flows out from liquid outlet 621 is discharged through fluid export 151 after being collected by collecting chamber 13. Arrange liquid outlet 621 along the axial interval of brush roll, discharge through fluid outlet 151 after every liquid outlet 621 spun liquid is collected by corresponding liquid collecting chamber 13, can guarantee that the cleaning solution is evenly discharged along the axial direction of brush roll, simultaneously, with liquid collecting chamber 13 interval distribution, can effectively ensure to be got rid of after liquid outlet 621 spun fluid very first time is collected liquid collecting chamber 13, avoid a large amount of cleaning solutions to pile up in the inside accommodation space of brush roll. The liquid collection chamber 13 may be defined by a flow resisting structure 131 protruding outward from the inner wall 16 of the roller brush barrel 1, the flow resisting structure 131 may define an independent space with a closed periphery, and the flow resisting structure 131 may also be a baffle structure having a fluid inlet, where the baffle structure prevents the fluid therein from rotating relative to the roller brush barrel 1.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, when fluid distributor 66 is stationary with respect to the housing, i.e. when roller brush cylinder 1 is moving, fluid distributor 66 is stationary, and fluid outlet 621 is moving with respect to roller brush cylinder 1, it is difficult to discharge fluid out of fluid outlet 151 by centrifugal force if the fluid is sprayed directly into the receiving space. In one embodiment, the frequency of the liquid output from the liquid outlet 621 can be controlled by the control program to correspond to the rotation speed of the roller brush body 1, i.e. when the liquid collecting chamber 13 rotates to the area corresponding to the liquid outlet 621, the fluid distributor 66 is controlled to spray the fluid, so as to ensure that at least part of the fluid is collected by the liquid collecting chamber 13. When the plenum 13 rotates to another position, the control fluid distributor 66 stops spraying fluid. By adopting the above control mode, most of the fluid can be effectively prevented from accumulating in the accommodating space and cannot be discharged through the fluid outlet 151.

Referring to fig. 6, 7, 10 and 11, in another embodiment, since the liquid collecting chamber 13 rotates together with the roller brush body 1, it is highly likely that the liquid discharged from the liquid outlet 621 is not collected in the liquid collecting chamber 13. Therefore, the liquid collecting chamber 13 is an annular groove extending along the circumferential direction of the brush roller, and the annular groove corresponds to the liquid outlet 621 in the rotation process of the brush roller, that is, most of or even all of the fluid ejected from the liquid outlet 621 is collected by the annular groove. Referring to fig. 18 to 19, the direction of the arrows in the figures is the rotation direction of the brush roller, and at least one flow blocking structure 131 is disposed in the annular groove, and the flow blocking structure 131 is used for blocking at least a part of the fluid from moving relative to the roller brush body 1 so as to gather at least a part of the fluid near the fluid outlet 151. The fluid blocking structure 131 is generally disposed downstream of the fluid outlet 151 in a rotational direction of the brush roller such that the fluid blocking structure 131 blocks at least a portion of the fluid to rotate with the brush roller, the portion of the fluid flowing out of the fluid outlet 151 due to centrifugal force. The structure 131 may be a baffle extending in the axial direction of the brush roller, the baffle directly closing the annular groove so that the fluid cannot freely circulate along the annular groove. The flow blocking structure 131 may also be a stop disposed around the fluid outlet 151, where the stop does not completely enclose the annular recess, but only blocks a portion of the fluid from remaining near the fluid outlet 151, and the remaining fluid may flow around the stop. With the advantages of this arrangement, it is avoided that most of the fluid is collected at the fluid outlet 151, and the fluid outlet 151 cannot completely discharge the fluid, so that the excess fluid overflows into the accommodating space, and energy loss is caused.

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, in one embodiment, to realize the axial annular groove, the roller brush barrel 1 is manufactured separately in two parts, namely a first barrel 11 and a second barrel 12, each of which includes at least one semicircular groove, and the two parts are fixed together by bolts or other fixing means after being manufactured to form a complete annular groove. In the present embodiment, the annular groove is defined by two annular plates which project relative to the inner wall 16 of the roller brush cylinder 1. In other embodiments, the annular groove may also be formed by inward depression of the inner wall 16 of the roller brush cylinder 1. Of course, other well-established processes may be used to form the spaced grooves in a hollow roller brush body 1.

Further, in order to ensure that most of the liquid discharged from the liquid outlet 621 is collected in the liquid collecting chamber 13, the liquid outlet 621 of the fluid distributor 66 may extend into the annular groove.

Referring to fig. 20-22, and 16 and 17, fig. 20 is a schematic structural view illustrating that the inner wall of the roller brush barrel is provided with a diversion trench in one embodiment. FIG. 21 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the roll brush cartridge in an axial direction according to an embodiment. Fig. 22 is a schematic sectional view of a drum of a roll brush in an axial direction according to another embodiment. In order to solve the problem of discharging fluid from the annular cavity, the application also provides another cleaning head 10, the cleaning head 10 is provided with a brush roll, the brush roll is arranged in the installation space and can rotate around the axis of the brush roll, and the periphery of the roller brush barrel 1 is provided with a wiping test piece 17; the wiping piece 17 rotates substantially in synchronism with the brush roller to clean the surface to be cleaned. An accommodating space is defined inside the roller brush cylinder body 1. A fluid distributor 66 is arranged in the accommodating space, the fluid distributor 66 is in fluid communication with the supply pipeline, and the fluid distributor 66 comprises a plurality of liquid outlets 621 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the brush roller; fluid distributor 66 may be an elongated tube having a plurality of fluid outlets 621 uniformly distributed therein. The inner wall 16 of the roller brush barrel 1 is provided with at least one flow guide groove 14, each flow guide groove 14 is provided with at least one fluid outlet 151, and the liquid flowing out from the liquid outlet 621 enters the flow guide groove 14 and then is discharged through the fluid outlet 151. The channel 14 is formed by recessing the inner wall 16, and fluid can flow into the channel 14 when flowing through the inner wall 16.

Referring to fig. 20 and 22, in one embodiment, the guide groove 14 extends in the circumferential direction of the drum 1, and the fluid outlet 151 is provided at an end of the guide groove 14. The fluid in the guiding groove 14 rotates along with the roller brush barrel 1 at the end of the guiding groove 14, and at this time, the fluid flows out from the fluid outlet 151 at the end due to the centrifugal force. The guide channels 14 comprise opposite front and rear ends in the direction of rotation of the brush roll, i.e. the direction extending from the rear end to the front end is the direction of rotation of the brush roll. The fluid outlet 151 is preferably located at the rear end, where the fluid is first collected and then discharged from the fluid outlet 151 by centrifugal force. When the fluid outlet 151 is disposed at the front end, the fluid will generally flow out of the fluid outlet 151 due to the centrifugal force until the fluid in the guide groove 14 is collected at the front end.

Referring to fig. 20 and 22, in another embodiment, the channels 14 extend in both the circumferential and axial directions of the roller brush body 1. At this time, the fluid outlet 151 in the guiding groove 14 may be disposed at any position in the guiding groove 14, because the guiding groove 14 extends axially while extending axially, and the rotation direction of the brush roller rotates circumferentially, the fluid in the guiding groove 14 may be forced by the sidewall of the guiding groove 14 when flowing along the guiding groove 14, so that the flow of the fluid is slowed down and cannot be synchronized with the rotation of the brush roller, and at this time, a part of the fluid may be discharged at the fluid outlet 151 under the action of centrifugal force. The number of channels 14 may be plural, and each channel 14 may be provided with at least one fluid outlet 151, and of course, the fluid outlet 151 may be provided at the rear end and/or rear end of the channel 14.
