Floor brush module for cleaning machine and cleaning machine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of household mobile cleaning equipment, in particular to a floor brush module for a cleaning machine and the cleaning machine.
Background
The conventional movable cleaning equipment mostly adopts a rolling brush as a sweeping brush executing piece, and brush pieces or brush hair on the periphery of the rolling brush are contacted with a surface to be cleaned through rolling of the rolling brush, so that dirt attached to the surface to be cleaned is cleaned. The rolling brush structure covers a relatively large cleaning area in cleaning, but the arrangement mode of the rolling brush also brings the defect of blocking the air path because the collection of dirt by the movable cleaning equipment depends on the negative pressure suction force, and the negative pressure suction force is weakened to a certain extent.
For this reason, the inventor discloses in the chinese patent application CN202122959279.4 (issued to publication No. CN 216776859U) a floor brush module for a cleaning machine and a cleaning machine, in which a structure of a disc brush is used instead of a conventional rolling brush, and since a rotation axis of the disc brush extends vertically, a rotation gap is left between two adjacent disc brushes, which is just beneficial for airflow to pass through, so that the problem that the existing cleaning machine weakens the suction force of negative pressure is solved to a great extent, but the size of a gap between the disc brushes is generally fixed, and when some particles with larger size need to be cleaned, the condition that the suction force is insufficient or the gap between the two disc brushes is blocked may occur.
For this reason, there is a need for further improvements to existing cleaning machines.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the first technical problem of the prior art, and provides a floor brush module for a cleaning machine, wherein the floor brush module can actively avoid large-particle dust from an inlet to a dust collection cavity.
The second technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a cleaning machine with the floor brush module aiming at the current state of the art.
The invention solves the first technical problem by adopting the technical scheme that the floor brush module for the cleaning machine comprises:
A housing having a dust collection chamber therein for collecting dirt and a flow guide passage for conveying the collected dirt to a downstream dust separation module, the dust collection chamber having an inlet located at a front side of the housing, the inlet, dust collection chamber and flow guide passage being sequentially arranged along a flow direction of a fluid;
a moving seat extending in a left-right direction of the housing and arranged to be deflectable with respect to the housing so that both end portions thereof are swingable back and forth with respect to the housing;
A brush head assembly arranged on the movable seat and having brush members respectively connected to two ends of the movable seat, each brush member being positioned in the dust collection cavity and arranged to rotate relative to the surface to be cleaned to sweep the surface to be cleaned, the rotation axis of each brush member extending vertically, and one of the brush members being capable of driving the corresponding end of the movable seat to deflect rearward under pressure so as to be away from the inlet, and
And the elastic piece acts on the movable seat so as to enable the movable seat to always have a reset swinging trend.
There are various ways to suck the dust on the surface to be cleaned, and preferably, the front side of the housing has a base, and a space is left between the bottom of the base and the surface to be cleaned to form a dust collection cavity.
In order to ensure the rotation of the brush, the brush head assembly preferably further comprises a drive mechanism which is arranged on the movable seat and the power output end of which is in driving connection with the brush.
In order to avoid that the power of a single brush is blocked to stop the whole brush head assembly, the driving mechanism is provided with two drivers, wherein each driver is respectively arranged at two ends of the movable seat, and the output shaft extends downwards, and each brush is assembled on the output shaft of the corresponding driver.
In order to facilitate the swing of the movable seat, preferably, the base is provided with two guide slots vertically penetrating the movable seat along the thickness direction at positions corresponding to the movable seat, each guide slot extends along the front-rear direction, and two end parts of the movable seat are respectively restrained in the corresponding guide slots in a front-rear movable manner.
The swing mode of the movable seat is various, preferably in a rotating mode, namely the middle position of the movable seat can be rotatably connected to the upper side of the base, and the rotation center is positioned between the two guide notches.
Specifically, the bottoms of the two ends of the movable seat are respectively provided with a guide part, and the guide parts of the two ends of the movable seat are in sliding match with the corresponding guide notches under the deflection state of the movable seat.
The guide parts can be realized in different manners, preferably, both ends of the movable seat are provided with through holes for the output shaft of the driver to pass downwards, and the guide parts are annular walls extending downwards from the outer edges of the corresponding through holes. The design mode of the guide part can prevent the output shaft of the driver from contacting with fluid to a certain extent, prevent dust particles from being blocked in gaps between the brushes and protect the connection part of the driver and the brushes, and on the other hand, the annular wall is used as a core member for guiding, has high strength and slides in the guide notch more smoothly.
Specifically, an upward extending shaft rod is arranged between the two guide notches, and a rotating sleeve sleeved outside the shaft rod is correspondingly arranged in the middle of the movable seat.
Preferably, the elastic piece is a torsion spring sleeved outside the rotating sleeve.
In order to ensure the cleaning effect, preferably, the two movable seats are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the base, and each movable seat is provided with a brush head assembly.
In order to ensure that a negative pressure is provided in the suction chamber, the flow guide channel preferably has a suction opening communicating with the suction chamber of the housing, which suction opening is open at the rear side of the suction chamber and is located between the two movable seats. Therefore, the arrangement position of the suction port can ensure that the swing of the movable seat can not only play a role of avoiding the inlet, but also form a guide gesture in the dust collection cavity under the self swing effect, so that dust particles at the inlet are guided to the suction port, thereby avoiding dead angles from being left for cleaning and having better cleaning effect.
Specifically, each movable seat is obliquely arranged from the outer end far away from the suction port to the inner end adjacent to the suction port from front to back, so that the brush pieces in the dust collection cavity are integrally arranged in a V-shaped mode with the front opening.
In order to further solve the second technical problem, the invention adopts the technical scheme that the cleaning machine is provided with the floor brush module, and further comprises a dust separation module and a fan module, wherein the floor brush module, the dust separation module and the fan module are sequentially arranged along the flowing direction of fluid, and the outlet end of the floor brush module is an air outlet of a shell.
Preferably, the cleaning machine is a floor washer or a vacuum cleaner.
Compared with the prior art, the floor brush module for the cleaning machine has the advantages that as the movable seat in the shell can deflect relative to the shell, the two ends of the movable seat can swing back and forth relative to the shell, when larger particles are encountered at the inlet to prevent dust collection, the brushes at the two ends of the movable seat can trigger the movable seat under the action of external pressure and synchronously deflect along with the movable seat to be far away from the inlet, so that sufficient entering space can be provided for large particles, and the situation that dust particles are blocked in a gap between the two brushes is avoided.
