Description
- The present invention relates to washing devices for sweeping and washing a floor concurrently or for washing window glass in an electrically driven manner, and more particularly, to an electric sweeping washing device for sweeping the floor or a rug, scrubbing the floor and the rug, and washing windows concurrently.
- Due to technological advancement, there is wide use of the existing art pertaining to cleaning, an indoor environment, such as the floor, with an automated cleaning machine, wherein control logic of a mobile robot enables the cleaning machine capable of vacuum cleaning or floor washing to roam within a space to be swept and cleaned and clean the floor in an automated manner.
- The aforesaid conventional automated cleaning machines fall into two categories, namely floor sweeping machines and floor washing machines. The floor sweeping machines remove dirt and dust from the floor by sweeping and vacuum cleaning the floor, but fail to remove dirt, dust, and smear from the floor or rug. Hence, it is necessary to remove dirt, dust, and smear with the floor washing machines.
- However, according to the existing art, before its operation begins, automated floor washing machines require spraying a cleaning solution or clean water on the floor in an automated manner, scrubbing the floor with a roller brush, and collecting dirty water from the floor with a scraper installed behind the roller brush to thereby finalize floor washing. However, during the aforesaid cleaning process, as long as dirty water which results from scrubbing the floor remains on the floor, the floor will still look dirty after the dirty water has dried up, whereas a portion of the floor is likely to absorb water or has a crack, and in consequence dirty water will be kept inside the crack. Moreover, all the existing robotic floor washing machines assertedly have the capability of recycling 50% of the dirty water on the floor but leaving behind the other 50% of the dirty water on the floor. Hence, it is impossible to wash and clean the floor thoroughly. Since the rug absorbs water, water must not be sprayed on the rug; hence, it is impossible for the robotic floor washing machine to remove a smear from the rug.
- Accordingly, it is imperative to provide a sweeping washing device whereby a user sweeps and washes the floor or rug simultaneously easily and quickly. The sweeping washing device is time-saving, labor-saving, cost-saving, and space-saving. Furthermore, with its brush being changed, the sweeping washing device functions as an electric window washer. The sweeping washing device not only precludes dirty water from landing on the floor but also leaves no dirty water on the floor and the rug.
- The closest prior art is seen in

- From a user's perspective, conventional tools for use in washing windows, floors, and rugs are difficult to operate, time-consuming, and laborious, not to mention that they have to work in conjunction with various single-function machines.
- It is an objective of the present invention to provide an electric sweeping washing device whereby a user sweeps and washes the floor and the rug easily and quickly, and in a cost-saving, labor-saving, and space-saving manner. Furthermore, the electric sweeping washing device removes smears, dirt, and dust from the floor and the rug while sweeping the floor and the rug, and may has its brush changed to thereby function as an electric window washer. The electric sweeping washing device precludes dirty water from landing on the floor.
- In order to achieve the above and other objectives, the present invention provides an electric sweeping washing device for use in sweeping and washing a floor or rug. The electric sweeping washing device comprises a sweeping washing brush and a water collection treatment structure.
- The sweeping washing brush comprises: a body having a separating board for demarcating and separating a sweeping washing brush front from a sweeping washing brush rear, wherein an opening of the sweeping washing brush front faces the floor or rug or is aimed at the dust collecting box, wherein an opening of the sweeping washing brush rear faces the floor or rug; a sweeping roller brush disposed inside the sweeping washing brush front, wherein both the sweeping roller brush and a water absorbing scrubbing roller brush are driven by a sweeping washing brush motor to rotate; an auxiliary wheel disposed at the body and between the sweeping washing brush front and the sweeping washing brush rear; the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush disposed inside the sweeping washing brush rear and driven by the sweeping washing brush motor to rotate; a sprinkler head disposed on a side of the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush inside the sweeping washing brush rear and facing the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush; and an water absorbing scraper abutting against another side of the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush inside the sweeping washing brush rear and abutting against the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush to absorb water therefrom. The water absorbing scraper presses against the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush to rake dirty water, dirt, and dust which results from the rinsing of the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush to thereby keep the water absorbing scrubbing roller brush clean and wet enough to remove dirt, dust, and smear from the floor or remove dust and smears from the rug. At two ends of the water absorbing scraper are buffer devices (not shown) which come in the form of springs or any other equivalent structures.
