Self-cleaning mechanism of drive wheel 10, included first brush subassembly 11 and installation department 12, wherein, first brush subassembly 11 comprises a plurality of tufts, first brush subassembly 11 is fixed in cleaning machines people's main part through installation department 12, and surround at drive wheel 10 periphery, drive wheel 10 contacts with first brush subassembly 11, its contact point is the position of tuft non-stiff end on first brush subassembly 11 when the clearance operation, for the convenience of description, call the position of this non-stiff end for first brush subassembly 11 and drive wheel 10's first contact point 13, specifically, can set up installation department 12 into detachable construction, be convenient for replace first brush subassembly 11 of damage. In order to ensure the cleaning force of the first brush assembly 11, the direction P of the tufts on the first brush assembly 11 is substantially opposite to (away from) the moving direction Q of the driving wheel 10 at the first contact point 13 (i.e. the moving direction at the first contact point 13 when the cleaning robot moves forward), and the angle between the direction of the tufts on the first brush assembly 11 and the moving direction at the first contact point is an obtuse angle or a straight angle. Wherein the orientation of the tufts on the brush assembly is indicative of the orientation of the unsecured ends of the tufts on the brush assembly.
Further, the tufts on the first brush assembly 11 are made of a flexible material, such as nylon, bristles, or the like, having a tuft strength G in the range of 45-60CN/mm2In this way, the cleaning force of the first brush assembly 11 to the dirt on the driving wheel 10 can be enhanced, and the risk that the hair bundle is broken off easily in the cleaning process can be reduced.
It should be noted that the driving wheel of the cleaning robot has various types, and the driving wheel 10 may also be a crawler-type driving wheel, which uses several inner driving wheels to drive the crawler for walking function, and the whole can also be regarded as one driving wheel, and the type of the driving wheel is not limited in this embodiment.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the window cleaning robot 20 has a vacuum machine (not shown) disposed inside a main body thereof, the window cleaning robot 20 moves on a vertical glass surface by a driving track 21 driven by an upper driving wheel 211 and a lower driving wheel 212 at the same time, an air inlet 22 is disposed at a middle portion of a side of the window cleaning robot 20 near the glass surface, a cleaning cloth edge 23 is disposed around the air inlet 22 and is substantially disposed at a periphery of the side of the window cleaning robot 20 near the glass surface so as to maximize a cleaning area, and an air outlet 24 is used for discharging a vacuum region enclosed by the cleaning cloth edge 23 drawn by the vacuum machine, so that the window cleaning robot 20 is pressed against the glass surface due to an air pressure difference between an inner side and an outer side of the cleaning cloth edge 23. The driving track 21 has two rotation directions a and B, and when it rotates in the direction a, the window cleaning robot 20 will move on the glass surface toward its head, i.e. move forward, and when it rotates in the direction B, the window cleaning robot 20 will move on the glass surface toward its tail (downward), i.e. move backward, where the tail direction is the direction of the air outlet 24 and the reverse direction is the head direction of the window cleaning robot 20. The window cleaning robot 20 is provided with a self-cleaning mechanism (only a brush assembly is shown in the figure) around the driving track, when the driving track 21 rotates along the direction A, the window cleaning robot 20 moves forwards, the first brush assembly 25 and the driving track 21 are in contact with the first contact point 26, the direction of a bristle bundle on the first brush assembly 25 is opposite to the moving direction of the driving track 21 at the first contact point 26, when the window cleaning robot 20 moves upwards and cleans the glass surface, the first brush assembly 25 can clean dirt such as dust on the driving track 21, and therefore dirt accumulated on the driving track 21 is avoided, and the risk that the driving track suddenly slips is avoided.
It should be noted that, since the air outlet 24 of the window cleaning robot 20 may discharge the water sucked from the air inlet 22, in the present embodiment, the window cleaning robot 20 is restricted, and the air outlet 24 is never moved to the upper direction of the glass surface when the cleaning work is performed, so as to prevent the discharged water from falling back into the window cleaning robot 20.
Preferably, the first contact point 26 is selectively disposed on the area of the driving track 21, which is in close contact with the lower driving wheel 212, i.e. the arc-shaped track area C shown in fig. 2, so that the dirt such as dust cleaned by the driving track 21 falls out of the window cleaning robot 20, and the cleaning effect is not good due to the first contact point 26 being disposed at other positions.
Further, the window-cleaning robot 20 may further include a second brush assembly 27, which includes a plurality of bristles, disposed around the driving track 21, and is in contact with the driving track 21 at a second contact point 28, when the driving track 21 rotates in the direction B, the window cleaning robot 20 moves backward, the direction of the bristles of the second brush assembly 27 is opposite to the moving direction of the driving track 21 at the second contact point 28, and the direction of the bristles of the first brush assembly 25 is the same as the moving direction of the driving track 21 at the first contact point 26, so that the cleaning force is greatly reduced and the cleaning effect is hardly exerted, while the window-cleaning robot 20 moves downward and cleans the glass surface, the second brush assembly 27 cleans the driving track 21 of dirt such as dust, thereby avoiding the risk of dirt accumulating on the drive track 21 and causing the drive track to suddenly slip.
Preferably, the second contact point 28 is also disposed on the driving track 21 in a region where the second contact point is in contact with and close to the lower driving wheel 212, so that dirt such as dust cleaned by the driving track 21 can fall out of the window cleaning robot 20, and the cleaning effect can be prevented from being affected when the second contact point 28 is disposed at another position.
It should be noted that, when the window cleaning robot 20 does not drive the crawler 21 by engaging the upper driving wheel 211 and the lower driving wheel 212, the optimal positions of the first contact point 26 and the second contact point 28 are on the lower half of the lower driving wheel 212.
Further, the tangential direction of the mounting portion of the first brush assembly 25 at the first contact point 26 and/or the tangential direction of the mounting portion of the second brush assembly 27 at the second contact point 28, i.e. the included angle between the direction of the brush assembly and the rotation direction of the contact point is set to 180 degrees, so that the cleaning force of the brush assembly is improved.
In one embodiment, a plurality of first brush assemblies 25 and a plurality of second brush assemblies 27 may be provided to increase the cleaning power to the drive track 21.

While the driving wheel 41 advances, the first brush assembly 44 can clean up dirt such as dust at the first contact point 45, so that the dirt can be recovered by the sweeping mechanism 43 in the process of the gradual cleaning planning of the sweeping robot 40.
Further, as shown in fig. 5, the first contact point 45 is disposed at the rear lower portion of the driving wheel 41 in the partial structure of the sweeping robot 40 placed in the working state, so that when the first brush assembly 44 cleans the driving wheel 41, the dirt such as the dust cleaned by the first brush assembly cannot fall into the main body of the sweeping robot 40, so as to prevent the user from being difficult to clean the dirt such as the dust in the gap between the parts inside the main body.
Further, a third brush assembly 46 is further disposed around the driving wheel 41, and includes a plurality of bristles, one end of the third brush assembly 46 contacts the driving wheel 41 at a third contact point 47, and the other end of the third brush assembly is detachably fixed to the main body of the cleaning robot 40, and an included angle between the direction of the bristles on the third brush assembly 46 and the moving direction of the driving wheel 41 at the third contact point 47 is an obtuse angle or a flat angle, and when the cleaning robot 40 moves backward, the direction of the bristles on the third brush assembly 46 and the moving direction of the driving wheel 41 at the third contact point 47 are away from each other. While the driving wheel 41 is retreating, the third brush assembly 46 can clean up dirt such as dust at the third contact point 47, so as to be recovered by the sweeping mechanism 43 in the gradual cleaning planning process of the sweeping robot 40.
Furthermore, the third contact point 47 is disposed in the first quadrant of the wheel arc of the driving wheel 41, i.e. in front of and below the driving wheel 41, so that when the third brush assembly 46 cleans the third contact point 47 of the driving wheel 41, the cleaned dirt such as dust will not fall into the main body of the cleaning robot 40, so as to prevent the user from being difficult to clean the gap between the parts in the main body.
