Description

Cleaning base and surface cleaning apparatus

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a cleaning base and a surface cleaning apparatus.

Background

Surface cleaning apparatuses may include dry surface cleaning apparatuses, which may be exemplified by cleaning tools such as vacuum cleaners, and wet surface cleaning apparatuses, which may be exemplified by cleaning tools such as floor washers.

When the surface cleaning device is used, a rotating rolling brush or brush roller and other structures are generally arranged, dust on the surface to be cleaned is stirred by the rolling brush or the brush roller, then the dust is sucked to the processing device through the suction port to be separated from air, solid garbage such as the dust is kept inside the surface cleaning device, and clean air is exhausted to the outside of the surface cleaning device.

In order to provide a better cleaning effect of the surface cleaning device, two stirring bodies can be used in the cleaning device, one example of a stirring element being a cleaning roller, such as a fluff brush roller. The lint cleaning roller may be located on the front side of the cleaning head and may also be referred to as a leading roller. One challenge with lint cleaning rollers is that users remove maintenance more frequently than other types of roller brushes (e.g., anti-wind tapered rollers).
