An angle of inclination.

Then the user of the wheelchair (A) pushes the wheel (A1) of the wheelchair (A) onto the crawler (22) of the cleaning platform (1) by his own strength or the assistance of others. Then the power source (21) is activated via the controller (23) to start operation. When the power source (21) is running, the crawler belt (22) is driven to rotate on the cleaning platform (1) through the chain (212). At the same time, the wheel (A1) of the wheelchair (A) on the crawler belt (22) is driven to rotate and advance toward the fixed frame (12). When the wheel (A1) rotates, the system will contact the limit wheel (13) on the fixed frame (12), and be blocked by the limit wheel (13), so that the wheel (A1) is on the The track (22) is idling on the spot. At the same time, the two wheels (A1) can respectively contact the four cleaning brushes (33) of the two housings (31) (as shown in the sixth figure). Then, the suction element (32) and the motor (331) of the four cleaning brushes (33) are respectively started to rotate. When the four cleaning brushes (33) start to rotate, they will contact the idling two wheels (A1). , The system can quickly clean up foreign objects such as dust (B) on the two wheels (A1). The fallen dust (B) can utilize the suction force generated by the suction element (32) during operation to attract the dust (B) into the dust collection box (34) to be collected. Since the dust box (34) is detachably connected to the housing (31), and the suction element (32) is detachably connected to the dust box (34), the suction element can be (32) and the dust box (34) were removed in order (as shown in the second figure) to remove the dust (B) in the dust box (34), and for the casing (31) ) Carry out internal cleaning work. In this way, the cleaning unit (3) can quickly, save time and effort to clean the two wheels (A1) of the wheelchair (A). When the wheelchair (A) enters the room, the two wheels (A1) It will not stain the ground and keep the ground clean.

Referring to the first and second figures, the embodiment of the present invention is a wheel cleaning unit. When it is necessary to bring a wheelchair (A) out for use, you can loosen any of the compression screws (16) on the cleaning platform (1), and then remove the cleaning unit (3) separately, and only carry the cleaning unit (3). ) Go out. When the wheel (A1) of the wheelchair (A) needs to be cleaned outdoors (as shown in Figure 6), the suction element (32) and the motor (331) of the two cleaning brushes (33) are also activated to rotate, The power supply element (35) is used to supply the power required for the rotation of the suction element (32) and the two motors (331). Then hold the outer edge of the suction element (32) with your hand, and manually clean each part of the two wheels (A1) one by one, so that when you go out, you can still easily clean the two wheels (A1). It has the functions of convenience, time-saving and labor-saving.
