  • the fluid distribution device 32 comprises a distribution body 33 provided with an upper face in which the liquid outlet 31 is provided, and with a lower face in which is(are ) provided with one or more liquid flow orifice(s) 34 configured to supply cleaning liquid to the mop 16.
  • the or each liquid flow orifice 34 is configured to be located next to mop 16.
  • the wet cleaning device 15 comprises a shutter member 35 (see the Figure 13 ) which is movable between a closing position in which the closing member 35 closes the liquid outlet 31 so as to fluidically isolate the liquid storage chamber 27 and the liquid flow orifice(s) 34, and a release position in which the shutter member 35 releases the liquid outlet 31 so as to fluidly connect the liquid storage chamber 27 to the liquid flow orifice(s) 34, and therefore to ensure a supply of cleaning liquid to the mop 16.
  • the wet cleaning device 15 also comprises an actuator member 36, such as an actuation pedal, which is configured to be actuated by a user, for example with a user's foot, and which is mounted movable, and for example pivotally mounted, on an upper part of the cleaning liquid reservoir 17 between a first actuation position and a second actuation position.
  • the actuating member 36 and the shutter member 35 are configured such that a movement of the actuator member 36 from the first actuation position to the second actuation position causes a movement of the shutter member 35 of the release position to the shutter position and such that a movement of the actuating member 36 from the second actuation position to the first actuation position causes a movement of the shutter member 35 from the shutter position to the release position.
  • the main body 3 also comprises a covering cover 37 fixed to the sole 4 and configured to cover the central suction duct 7 and partly the cleaning liquid reservoir 17.
  • a covering cover 37 fixed to the sole 4 and configured to cover the central suction duct 7 and partly the cleaning liquid reservoir 17.
  • Such covering cover makes it possible in particular to protect the central suction duct 7 against external shocks during movements of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 2 on a surface to be cleaned.
  • the support force transmitted by the articulation device 9 to the main body 3 is applied to a rear part of the main body 3 and therefore above the sole 4.
  • the main body 3 is not likely to lift during use of the vacuum cleaner nozzle, which therefore ensures effective cleaning of the surface to be cleaned.
  • the presence of the rear clearance 14 allows pivoting to the left and to the right of the connection sleeve 8 with a large amplitude of pivoting, which gives increased maneuverability to the vacuum cleaner nozzle 2.
  • the location of the first and second pivot connections P1, P2 above a rear part of the main body 3 makes it possible to reduce the horizontal bulk of the vacuum cleaner nozzle 2.
  • the mop 16 could be mounted on a mop support vibrating relative to the main body 3.
  • the wet cleaning device 15 could comprise a mop support which extends at least partly under the sole 4 and which is removably fixed to the sole 4, the mop 16 being fixed, for example in a removable manner, to the mop support, and the mop support being mounted movable in rotation relative to the main body 3 and around an axis of rotation substantially vertical when the main body 3 rests on a horizontal surface.
  • the vacuum cleaner nozzle 2 would comprise a rotational drive mechanism configured to rotate the mop support.
  • the cleaning liquid reservoir 17 could comprise a single connecting portion, and for example only the front connecting portion 22 or the rear connecting portion 23.
