Cleaning member and device

The present invention relates to a cleaning member and apparatus, and more particularly to a cleaning member, apparatus and method for performing a cleaning operation on a surface to be cleaned.

According to the cleaning mechanism on the self-propelled cleaning device, the structure of the cleaning mechanism is quite diverse. For the side brush used in the self-propelled cleaning device, the patent of the "self-propelled cleaning device" of the patent number No. M435906 is disclosed. A side brush structure is attached to the periphery of the hub of the side brush, and a plurality of recesses are arranged at intervals. The openings of the recesses are inclined downward to the surface to be cleaned, and one end of the bundle is implanted into the recess, and the other end is When the surface to be cleaned is in contact, the automatic brushing of the surface to be cleaned by the self-propelled cleaning device cooperates with the driving member to drive the main brush to rotate the side brush, so that the side brush sweeps the dust outside the periphery of the self-propelled cleaning device. Under the walking cleaning device, the dust is swept by the main sweeping brush to lift it up and then sucked into the dust collecting mechanism by the dust suction port to collect.

The side brush of the conventional self-propelled cleaning device sweeps the dust of the surface to be cleaned with a tuft, but only one end of the tuft is in contact with the surface to be cleaned, and the area of the cleaning is limited to the end of the tuft contacting the surface to be cleaned. The circumference generated by the movement around the hub, the area that can be cleaned is insufficient, and the hair bundle itself has the physical characteristics of the plurality of ciliary bundles and the inclination of the surface from the hub to the surface to be cleaned, so that the hair and the line of the human and the animal Filaments, carpet fibers, etc. are easily entangled on the side brush, forming additional friction to hinder the side brush rotation, and such easily entangled dust will accumulate upward along the inclined tuft to the bearing area above the hub, damaging the bearing Or other unforeseen circumstances.

The object of the present invention is to provide an area that can be cleaned and A cleaning member that prevents dirt from getting entangled.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning apparatus which can improve the area of cleaning and prevent the entanglement of dirt.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a cleaning method which can improve the area that can be cleaned and prevent the entanglement of dirt.

The cleaning member according to the object of the present invention is for performing a cleaning operation on a surface to be cleaned, comprising: a fixing portion through which the rotation can be driven, and an extension portion extending outward from the periphery of the fixing portion; the extension portion is connected The radioactive outwardly extending cleaning portion, the bottom of the cleaning portion is in line contact with the surface to be cleaned.

A cleaning device according to another object of the present invention is for performing a cleaning operation on a surface to be cleaned, comprising: a body having a dust suction port; and a cleaning member disposed at a peripheral edge of the body, comprising: being rotatable by a rotation a fixing portion that rotates at the center, and a plurality of cleaning portions that are interlocked by the fixing portion and are radially extended, the cleaning portion extends out of the periphery of the body, has a cantilever that is radioactively extended and suspended from the surface to be cleaned, and extends from the cantilever toward the surface to be cleaned and is to be Clean the sweeping part of the surface line contact.

A cleaning method according to still another object of the present invention is for performing a cleaning operation on a surface to be cleaned, comprising: a rotating step of causing a cleaning member to be displaced by a cleaning device having a dust suction function and driven by the device a rotating center rotates, and the plurality of cantilever arms that are suspended from the surface to be cleaned are rotated in a manner parallel to the surface to be cleaned; a sweeping step is performed to allow the cleaning member to extend downwardly with the plurality of cantilevers The cleaning surface line contacts the sweeping portion of the bottom portion for sweeping; and a vacuuming step provides a dust suction port for the dust-absorbing device outside the cleaning member, and the dust scraped by the scraping portion is sucked and collected.

The cleaning member consumable formed by integrally molding the flexible material provided by the embodiment of the invention is not only easy to manufacture, but also can be disposed on the body after the top cover and the base are added. The periphery and the portion of the cleaning portion can extend out of the outer edge of the machine, and the cleaning member is driven to rotate, so that the sweeping portion in contact with the surface to be cleaned sweeps the dust on the surface to be cleaned to form an outer diameter to an inner diameter distance. The cleaning area equal to the length of the cleaning part not only improves the area in which the cleaning member can be cleaned, but also prevents the dirt from being entangled on the cleaning member, and the form of the flexible material is more clean for powdery dust.
