In this way, the second clamping surface 1212 can better fit the first clamping surface 1211 to avoid a gap between the two clamping surfaces. In this way, the clamping force on the wiper is improved and the clamping effect is ensured.
- the clamping force is applied by a magnetic field. It should be noted that the above two embodiments for realizing the clamping force can be configured in the cleaning module 120 at the same time, or any one of them can be configured.
