Description

Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ground cleaning machines and mopping machines, and in particular, to a cleaning device that is used for cleaning a ground and has a self-cleaning function.

Background technology

[0002] Currently, common ground cleaning devices on the market include a vacuum cleaner, a sweeping robot and a mop, a mopping machine, and a ground cleaning machine. These devices can only perform dry cleaning or wet mopping, and many water stains remain on a mopped ground. As a result, a user is prone to tumble, and dirt is prone to be tracked on the mopped ground again, bringing great inconvenience to life. Certainly, various popular ground cleaning machines in recent several years have desirable mopping and vacuum cleaning effects. The ground cleaning machines usually have a function of dry sweeping and wet mopping. However, a working principle thereof is that a scraper is used to scrape off water stains on a rolling brush. Actually, an effect of "mopping to be dry" without water stains cannot be achieved. Such a manner not only easily damages the scraper and the rolling brush, but also causes a large resistance to the rolling brush. In addition, to improve a cleaning effect, usually, in addition to the rolling brush for mopping and cleaning, a ground cleaning machine also carries a vacuum cleaner module. As a result, noise is loud, the product has a complex structure, high costs, and a high selling price.

[0003] A mainstream technology of an existing ground cleaning machine or mopping machine is a vacuum cleaner mechanism plus a rolling brush structure. However, to pursue a large suction, a high-speed motor usually needs to be used for a product of this technology road, because a negative pressure of air needs to be used to suck wastewater and dirt. The high-speed motor causes a large noise in the product. However, if a quiet motor is used, costs are high. Costs are further increased due to the complex structure, and the product itself is relatively heavy, is not easy for a user to move, and is easy to break down. Because power consumption of the high-speed motor is relatively large, an endurance capability of a battery is a big problem. To improve the endurance capability, a quantity of battery packs is increased. As a result, costs are increased, and product weight is increased.

[0004] Among existing products, there is a product of a technical road. A product structure of the product is a rolling brush plus a scraper assembly. However, because no negative pressure is formed, the dirt removing effect is relatively poor. Because a scraping action is performed on the entire rolling brush surface by using the scraper, the dirt and the wastewater gradually flow into a wastewater tank by taking advantage of the gravity principle. In this case, the opening of the wastewater tank is very large; otherwise, the wastewater tank cannot be connected to the scraper. In addition, the capacity of the wastewater tank is limited, and the wastewater and dirt can gradually flow into the wastewater tank by taking advantage of the gravity principle only when a dirt discharging opening is arranged at a relatively low position.

[0005] For the foregoing technical problems, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution in this patent.

[0072] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solutions of this patent have at least the following beneficial technical effects.

[0073] Although there are many products for existing ground cleaning machines or mopping machines, a main technical solution thereof is a vacuum cleaner mechanism plus a rolling brush structure, typical of which are various products of TINECO and DREAME. However, to pursue a large suction, a high-speed motor usually needs to be used for a product of this technology road, because a negative pressure of air needs to be used to suck wastewater and dirt. The high-speed motor causes a large noise in the product. However, if a quiet motor is used, costs are high.

[0074] Meanwhile, wastewater and dirt also need to be separated, and a related structure is arranged to prevent wastewater from entering a motor to cause damage. Consequently, the structure of the product is complex, and high costs are further caused. Design space of the product is limited, a water tank usually needs to be arranged on a rod body, and even a wastewater tank and a clear water tank both need to be arranged on a rod body. Consequently, the product has an unstable center of gravity, and is prone to fall. Due to the complex structure, the product itself is relatively heavy, and is not easy for a user to move.

[0075] More importantly, because power consumption of the high-speed motor is relatively large, an endurance capability of a battery is a big problem. Generally, in a high-power working state, it is very uncommon for a product on the market to be coverable of enduring for 60 minutes. To improve the endurance capability, a quantity of battery packs is increased. As a result, costs are increased, and product weight is further increased.

[0076] Among existing products, there is a product of a technical road. For example, a ground cleaning machine product of DIISEA has no vacuum cleaner structure, and the product structure thereof is a rolling brush plus a scraper assembly. Wastewater and dirt on the rolling brush is scraped into a wastewater tank by using a scraper. This technical road saves such an air negative pressure structure as a vacuum cleaner. However, because no negative pressure is formed, the dirt removing effect is relatively poor. In addition, scraping efficiency of the scraper for dirt is poor, and the scraper cannot effectively remove the water on the rolling brush, so that many water stains remain on the ground. If the scraper applies increased pressure to the rolling brush, an effect of squeezing and removing water from the rolling brush may be improved. However, resistance between parts is relatively large, the parts are easily damaged, and the components are easily stuck during rotation. In addition, the fiber-type rolling brush surface is pressed to be excessively "flat", which is not beneficial for the rolling brush to attract garbage on the ground. In addition, because a scraping action is performed on the entire rolling brush surface by using the scraper, the dirt and the wastewater gradually flow into a wastewater tank by taking advantage of the gravity principle. In this case, the opening of the wastewater tank is very large; otherwise, the wastewater tank cannot be connected to the scraper. In addition, the capacity of the wastewater tank is limited, and the wastewater and dirt can gradually flow into the wastewater tank only when a dirt discharging opening is arranged at a relatively low position.

[0077] The ground cleaning apparatus such as a ground cleaning machine or a mopping machine involved in the technical solutions of this patent is applicable to a hard ground such as a tiled ground, a wooden floor, or a concrete ground. The principle of an Archimedes screw pump is skillfully used. Innovation is made based on the principle. A unique cleaning module combining a threaded rod, a dirt holding tank, and a rolling brush is developed. A rolling brush assembly, a threaded rod assembly, and a dirt holding tank assembly that are sequentially arranged in a horizontal direction collaborate closely with each other, and interact with each other. Wastewater and dirt on the rolling brush can be removed, and the wastewater and the dirt can be quickly transmitted to a dirt discharging opening through the interaction between the threaded rod assembly, the rolling brush assembly, and the dirt holding tank assembly.

[0078] When the threaded rod is driven by the rolling brush to rotate or the threaded rod is driven by the motor to rotate, on one hand, the threaded rod rotates about an axis of the threaded rod, and the thread of the threaded rod also rolls along an inner surface of the dirt holding tank. In this way, a sealed cavity similar to a pump is formed. Each time the threaded rod rotates through one circle, liquid or dirt in the sealed cavity is pushed forward by a pitch. With continuous rotation of the threaded rod, water or dirt removed from the rolling brush by the thread is pressed from a sealed cavity to another sealed cavity in a spiral transmission manner, and is finally pressed out of the dirt holding tank and enters the dirt discharging opening. During operation, some attraction pressure is formed, facilitating transmission. The sealed cavity herein does not particularly refer to a completely sealed state, but is merely a visual expression.

[0079] The cleaning module of this patent has advantages such as a simple structure, safe and reliable operation, and convenient use and maintenance. Because the vacuum cleaner module is removed, a large-capacity battery is not required to support work, working endurance is long, and working noise is low, the product has a simple structure, and the product can be sufficiently lightweight, which is beneficial for a user to move the product.

[0080] The threaded rod assembly may passively rotate or movably rotate, and during passive rotation, the rolling brush assembly rotates to drive the threaded rod assembly to passively rotate. In this case, the thread edge of the threaded rod assembly is arranged close to but does not touch the inner wall of the dirt holding tank, so as to avoid excessively large resistance and being prone to get stuck. If the threaded rod assembly adopts the active rotation manner, the threaded rod assembly is connected to a motor to perform active rotation. A thread edge of the threaded rod assembly may be arranged close to, attached tightly to, or arranged in contact with the inner wall of the dirt holding tank. Although there is some resistance, a drive motor of the threaded rod can overcome the related resistance.

The clear water tank may be mounted on a lever of the control module, or may be mounted on the ground brush module. Main innovation points of this patent lie in components such as the ground brush module, the rolling brush assembly, the threaded rod assembly, and the wastewater tank, and a combination thereof. The following further describes component structures, component relationships, working principles, and technical effects thereof in detail.

[0093] The control module of the ground cleaning apparatus in this patent is the control handle 101 shown in FIG. 1. The clear water tank 103 is mounted on the body of the lever 100. The body 102 of the lever 100 is connected to the ground brush module 200 by using the rotary joint 104. The wastewater tank 500 is connected to the ground brush module 200.

Ground brush module 300

[0095] According to FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, in the ground brush module 200, the ground brush holder right cover 201 and the ground brush holder left cover 202 are arranged on two sides of the ground brush holder body 203. An inner side of the ground brush holder body 203 is provided with a dirt holding tank 204 in a shape matching a shape of the threaded rod, the dirt holding tank 204 has a semi-surrounding structure, the semi-surrounding structure should be greater than 180 degrees, and a dirt discharging opening 212 is provided on an upper side at an end of the dirt holding tank 204 along a direction in which the threaded rod body 401 transmits wastewater and garbage. Preferably, a width of the dirt discharging opening 212 is less than or equal to a width of the second thread set 403. Preferably, an upper edge of the dirt discharging opening is higher than a height of the thread set, and a lower edge of the dirt discharging opening 212 is higher than a height of a central axis of the threaded rod body 401.

[0096] A semi-surrounding sealing angle of the dirt holding tank 204 on an inner side of the ground brush holder body 203 preferably ranges from 270 degrees to 300 degrees, and several reinforcing ribs are arranged on an outer side of the ground brush holder body 203, so as to increase strength and stability of the ground brush holder body. The ground brush holder body 203 is preferably made of an aluminum alloy material. In this way, such a core component as the ground brush holder body may be produced through extrusion forming, so that the product is reliable and durable, and has relatively low costs.

[0097] The power module 700 is arranged in an accommodating cavity at an upper portion of the ground brush holder body 203.

[0098] An upper portion of the ground brush module 200 is provided with a ground brush flip-over cover locking component, for example, a snap, a stud, or a lock. Preferably, one flip-over cover lock strip 215 is arranged. The flip-over cover lock strip 215 is stuck in the ground brush holder body, and may be moved left and right in the axis direction of the rolling brush by pushing an elastic button on the ground brush holder right cover or the ground brush holder left cover. The rear lock male end 211 on the flip-over cover lock strip 215 may tighten or loosen the flip-over cover rear locking female end 603, to lock or unlock the ground brush flip-over cover 600, and the flip-over cover front lock male end of the ground brush flip-over cover 600 is buckled to the front lock female ends on the ground brush holder left and right covers. A ground brush bottom cover scraper is arranged at the bottom of the ground brush module 200, as shown at the bottom of FIG. 3.

[0099] The ground brush holder right cover 201 is provided with a threaded rod rotation head mounting slot 206, a rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot 205, and a flip-over cover front lock female end 208. At least one side in a position on the ground brush holder left and right covers close to the flip-over cover lock strip 215 is provided with a flip-over cover propping elastic component, for example, a flip-over cover propping button 210. A spring is arranged in the propping button.

[0100] The ground brush holder left cover 202 is provided with a threaded rod mounting opening 207, and the threaded rod end cover 404 is locked and fixed to the threaded rod mounting opening 207. The ground brush holder left cover 202 is provided with a rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot 205. An inner side wall of the rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot 205 is provided with a pair of elastic electrically-conductive components 209, for example, electrically-conductive pogo pins. The elastic electrically-conductive component is arranged corresponding to a side electrically-conductive component 315 of the rolling brush lifting handle 301, so as to implement an electrical connection. The elastic electrically-conductive component 209, for example, an electrically-conductive pogo pin, may be exactly stuck in a surface groove of the electrically-conductive component 315, which may be beneficial to mounting the rolling brush lifting handle in place, and may enhance conduction stability. The ground brush holder left cover is also provided with a flip-over cover front lock female end.

[0101] An inner side of the ground brush flip-over cover 600 has an arc shape, so as to better adapt to the rolling brush. The ground brush flip-over cover 600 is provided with a fixing apparatus, and is fixed to the ground brush holder. For example, the fixing apparatus includes a flip-over cover front lock male end and a flip-over cover rear locking female end, that are separately locked to the ground brush holder.

[0102] An anti-collision strip 601 such as a silicone strip is arranged at a front end of the ground brush flip-over cover 600, and an inner barrier strip is arranged on an inner side at the front end of the ground brush flip-over cover. Preferably, the anti-collision strip and the inner barrier strip are integral. The anti-collision strip 601 is a u-shaped snapping-and-mounting structure. An inner side of the anti-collision strip 601 is provided with the inner barrier strip. The inner barrier strip is preferably inclined toward the rolling brush surface, and is in contact with the rolling brush surface. During operation of the cleaning device, if the cleaning device butts against a wall body or furniture by accident, the anti-collision strip can avoid damaging the wall body or furniture. In addition, the inner barrier strip arranged on the inner side of the ground brush flip-over cover front end can prevent some dirt or wastewater that is not transmitted away in time from being thrown to the advancing direction of the ground brush module during rotation of the rolling brush, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0103] In an embodiment, the inner side of the ground brush flip-over cover 600 is provided with a pressing roller 605, and the pressing roller 605 is in contact with the rolling brush surface. Preferably, mounting portions at two ends of the pressing roller are provided with springs, so that the squeezing manner between the pressing roller and the rolling brush is elastic.

[0104] The wastewater tank 500 is arranged on a rear side of the ground brush module. The dirt discharging opening 212 of the dirt holding tank 204 of the ground brush holder is arranged at an end of a thread set for rotatably transmitting dirt. The dirt discharging opening 212 matches the second thread set 403.

[0105] The wastewater tank 500 is provided with a wastewater tank water inlet cover 502. The dirt discharging opening 212 of the ground brush holder body and the water inlet 505 of the wastewater tank correspond to each other. In addition, a dirt discharging opening propping block 213 is arranged in a direction in which an upper side edge of the dirt discharging opening 212 of the ground brush holder body faces the wastewater tank. The dirt discharging opening propping block 213 can prop open the water inlet cover 502 of the wastewater tank. When the wastewater tank 500 is separated from the ground brush module, the water inlet cover 502 of the wastewater tank 500 is automatically closed due to the distortion spring 503. The top of the water inlet cover of the wastewater tank is provided with the distortion spring 503. In an embodiment, a magnet 504 is arranged on a lower side of the water inlet 505 of the wastewater tank 500, and the corresponding water inlet cover of the wastewater tank may be in magnetic attraction with the magnet 504. A clear water tank and a wastewater tank with a larger capacity may be used for replacement as actually required.

[0106] The power module 700 may be arranged in the ground brush module, or may be arranged in the lever module. The power module is preferably arranged in the ground brush module, because the product is more stable and has a more stable center of gravity when the weight is placed at the bottom.

Threaded rod assembly 400

[0107] The threaded rod body 401 of the threaded rod assembly 400 is provided with a thread set, and the thread set is in squeezing contact with the rolling brush surface. Preferably, the thread set is a flexible thread set. For example, a threaded rod is encapsulated into the flexible thread set. One of advantages of flexibility lies in that, the threaded rod cooperates with the dirt holding tank, and when helically transmitting dirt, the threaded rod does not easily get stuck. Preferably, the threaded rod body is provided with a first thread set 402 and a second thread set 403, and a diameter of the second thread set 403 is greater than that of the first thread set 402. Preferably, a thread pitch of the second thread set 403 is smaller than that of the first thread set 402, and the second thread set 403 corresponds to the dirt discharging opening 212 of the dirt holding tank 204.

[0108] The technical solution of using different thread pitches of the first thread set and the second thread set is a result of a plurality of physical experiments and tests. Thread sets of different pitches are used to quickly rotate, and an area close to the dirt discharging opening switches from the first thread set to the second thread set. Because the thread pitch of the first thread set is greater than the thread pitch of the second thread set, a pushing amount of the first thread set in each circle of rotation is greater than a pushing amount of the second thread set in each circle of rotation. When the area close to the dirt discharging opening switches to the second thread set, a pressure generated by rotational pushing becomes larger in the area of the second thread set. The pressure becomes larger, to form a larger delivery force and a larger centrifugal force, so that wastewater and garbage can be better transmitted to the water inlet 505 of the wastewater tank through the dirt discharging opening 212 of the dirt holding tank 204.

[0109] The technical solution of using different thread diameters of the first thread set and the second thread set is also a result of a plurality of physical experiments and tests. An area close to the dirt discharging opening switches from the first thread set to the second thread set. Because the thread diameter of the second thread set is greater than the thread diameter of the first thread set, to form a better delivery force and a better centrifugal force, wastewater and garbage can be better transmitted to the water inlet 505 of the wastewater tank through the dirt discharging opening 212 of the dirt holding tank 204.

[0110] The threaded rod end cover 404 is provided with a threaded rod lifting handle 406, the threaded rod end cover 404 is provided with a sealing ring 405, and the threaded rod end cover 404 is further provided with a fastening apparatus that cooperates with the threaded rod mounting opening 207, such as a snapping slot with a peripheral surface or a thread structure. The threaded rod end cover 404 is provided with a threaded rod bearing 408. The other end of the threaded rod body 401 is provided with a threaded rod rotation head 409. The threaded rod rotation head 409 is provided with a sealing ring 405, and has an end provided with a shockproof plug 410. The threaded rod rotation head 409 is provided with a bearing 408. The threaded rod rotation head 409 is mounted in the threaded rod rotation head mounting slot 206 of the ground brush holder right cover. The thread set of the threaded rod body 401 is in squeezing contact with the rolling brush surface. The threaded rod body may be driven by the rolling brush surface to passively rotate. Alternatively, the threaded rod body may be connected to a transmission mechanism to movably rotate. The thread set of the threaded rod body 401 is in squeezing contact with the rolling brush surface, and the thread set is in squeezing contact with the rolling brush surface and rotates. Therefore, wastewater and dirt on the rolling brush surface may be scraped or extruded, and the scraped or extruded wastewater and dirt are transmitted in the semi-closed dirt holding tank to one end through rotation of the threaded rod. In addition, a real-time rubbing action is maintained when the threaded rod and the rolling brush surface are in a working state, so as to implement a real-time rubbing and self-cleaning function while working. In addition, because a vacuum cleaner is not required, energy consumption is low, and noise is low.

[0111] Costs of the threaded rod assembly 400 adopting the passive working manner are lower, and the structural design is more minimalist.

[0112] In this patent, a gap between a thread edge of the threaded rod assembly 400 and an inner wall of the dirt holding tank 204 is less than 5 mm, preferably less than 1 mm, and more preferably ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 mm. If the gap between the thread edge and the inner wall of the dirt holding tank 204 is excessively large, a poor effect of transmitting dirt by rotation of the threaded rod is caused. If the gap between the thread edge and the inner wall of the dirt holding tank 204 is excessively small, for example, the thread edge is tangent to or in contact with the inner wall of the dirt holding tank 204, a friction force is increased, and transmission is also affected.

[0113] At least one side of the threaded rod assembly is provided with a threaded rod bearing, and preferably, both ends of the threaded rod assembly are each provided with a threaded rod bearing, which is more beneficial to stable rotation of the threaded rod assembly.

[0114] A rotation action in a squeezing state between the thread set of the threaded rod and the rolling brush surface is a rotational squeezing motion between the thread set of the threaded rod and the rolling brush, to take dirty things, dirt, and wastewater on the rolling brush away and spirally transmit them to the dirt discharging opening. In addition, the thread set of the threaded rod further rubs and squeezes the rolling brush constantly, which is similar to a working principle of a washboard, and achieves a self-cleaning function.

Rolling brush assembly 300

[0115] The rolling brush assembly 300 includes a rolling brush body 302 and rolling brush lifting handles 301 on two sides. The rolling brush body 302 is driven by using a transmission motor. Preferably, a transmission gear-box motor 303 is arranged in the rolling brush body 302. One end of the transmission gear-box motor 303 is mounted in the transmission motor holder 312, and the other end of the transmission gear-box motor 303 is mounted in the rolling brush bearing pedestal 306. One end of the rolling brush bearing pedestal 306 is sleeved over the transmission gear-box motor 303, and an outer surface of the other end of the rolling brush bearing pedestal is fixedly equipped with a rolling brush bearing 304 through engagement. A first rolling brush shaft connection pipe 317 is arranged inside the rolling brush lifting handle 301. A front end portion of the first rolling brush shaft connection pipe 317 extends into an inner side of the rolling brush bearing pedestal 306. Then, the first rolling brush shaft 305 extends through the first rolling brush shaft connection pipe 317 into the inner side of the rolling brush bearing pedestal 306, and the rolling brush lifting handle is fastened to the rolling brush bearing pedestal through bolting. A through-hole is provided in the first rolling brush shaft 305, so that the motor circuit may pass through and be electrically connected to the electrically-conductive member of the rolling brush lifting handle. A diameter of the first rolling brush shaft 305 is greater than that of the rolling brush sleeve bearing 309.

[0116] Usually, a normal use state may be satisfied by controlling a rotational speed of a motor of the rolling brush to 200 to 400 RPM, passive transmission or active transmission may be performed between the threaded rod and the rolling brush, a ratio of the diameter of the threaded rod to that of the rolling brush preferably ranges from 20:100 to 20:20, and a rotational speed of the threaded rod ranges from 367 to 735. The top of the transmission gear-box motor 303 is provided with a rolling brush joint 310. The rolling brush joint 310 matches a mounting groove 316 of the rolling brush joint in the rolling core. The top of the rolling brush joint 310 is also provided with a shockproof plug 410, to prevent vibration and prevent axial motion, thereby improving stability of the product.

[0117] A mounting manner of the rolling brush assembly 300 is: placing it into the rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot 205 from top to bottom, and preferably, placing it directly in a vertical direction. The inventor has once put forward a one-side mounting technical solution in earlier patent application. Compared with a technical solution in which a rolling brush assembly is first mounted on one side and then a rolling brush assembly is mounted on the other side, an advantage of this patent lies in that the force is more uniform and the product is more reliable. Because the threaded rod and the rolling brush surface are in squeezing contact, when the product works, the threaded rod may apply some pressure to the rolling brush surface. However, the original technical solution easily causes damage to the rolling brush assembly on one side.

[0118] A side surface of at least one rolling brush lifting handle of the rolling brush assembly 300 is provided with an electrically-conductive component 315, and preferably, a surface of the electrically-conductive component is provided with a groove matching the elastic electrically-conductive component 209 in the rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot.

[0119] A side wall of at least one rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot is provided with an electrically-conductive component 209. Preferably, the electrically-conductive component is a retractable elastic electrically-conductive component, for example, an electrically-conductive pogo pin. A side surface of the rolling brush lifting handle is correspondingly provided with an electrically-conductive component 315. Preferably, the electrically-conductive component 315 is provided with a groove to match the retractable elastic electrically-conductive component. Such an arrangement may prompt a user that the rolling brush lifting handle has been snapped and mounted in place, thereby improving user experience.

[0120] An end surface of the rolling brush lifting handle is provided with a flexible shockproof plug 410, for example, a silicone pad. In this way, during mounting, the rolling brush lifting handle has a specific damping effect, thereby avoiding direct collisional mounting. In addition, the arrangement of shockproof plugs at two ends helps to reduce noise during operation of the cleaning device, reduce vibration and axial motion, and improve stability and service life of the product.

[0121] Preferably, the ground cleaning apparatus includes a rolling brush assembly, a shell covering the rolling brush assembly, a transmission motor, a power module, and a control module, where the control module can control the power module to connect with the transmission motor, and the transmission motor drives the rolling brush assembly to rotate. The ground cleaning apparatus further includes a clear water tank, a wastewater tank, a ground brush module, and a threaded rod assembly. The ground brush module 200 includes a ground brush holder body 203 and a wastewater tank 500, a ground brush holder right cover 201 and a ground brush holder left cover 202 are arranged on two sides of the ground brush holder body 203, and the rolling brush assembly is mounted in the ground brush module through the ground brush holder right cover 201 and the ground brush holder left cover 202. An inner side of the ground brush holder body 203 is provided with a dirt holding tank 204 in a shape matching a shape of the threaded rod assembly 400, the dirt holding tank 204 has a semi-surrounding structure, the semi-surrounding structure of the dirt holding tank 204 is greater than 180 degrees, and a dirt discharging opening 212 is provided at an end of the dirt holding tank 204 along a direction in which the threaded rod assembly 400 transmits wastewater and garbage. The threaded rod assembly 400 is mounted in the dirt holding tank 204 of the ground brush module through the ground brush holder right cover 201 and the ground brush holder left cover 202. The threaded rod assembly 400 is provided with a thread set, a gap between a thread edge of the thread set and an inner wall of the dirt holding tank 204 is less than 5 mm, and the clear water tank 103 delivers clear water to an end of the threaded rod assembly 400 away from the dirt discharging opening by using a clear water delivery pipe 105. A part of the threaded rod assembly 400 is in squeezing contact with a rolling brush surface of the rolling brush assembly 300 by using the semi-surrounding structure of the dirt holding tank 204, and relative rotation between the threaded rod assembly 400 and the rolling brush assembly 300 enables wastewater and garbage attracted by the rolling brush to be transmitted to the dirt discharging opening 212 by using the dirt holding tank 204. The dirt discharging opening 212 of the dirt holding tank 204 is arranged corresponding to a wastewater tank water inlet 505 of the wastewater tank 500.

[0122] A wastewater and dirt transmission mechanism formed by cooperation between the dirt holding tank 204 in the semi-surrounding structure and the threaded rod assembly 400 significantly differs from the existing technology in terms of a transmission principle and a transmission effect, has relatively low costs, and saves a vacuum cleaner module. The threaded rod assembly and the rolling brush surface achieve real-time rubbing and self-cleaning, low energy consumption, and low noise. Such a core component as the ground brush holder body 203 is preferably formed integrally by extruding an aluminum alloy, so that the product is reliable and durable.

[0123] Preferably, a threaded rod body of the threaded rod assembly 400 is provided with a first thread set 402 and a second thread set 403, a thread diameter of the second thread set 403 is greater than a thread diameter of the first thread set 402, a thread pitch of the second thread set 403 is less than a thread pitch of the first thread set 402, and the second thread set is arranged corresponding to the dirt discharging opening 212. The switching between thread sets of different thread pitches and different diameters can increase a transmission force and a centrifugal force generated by spiraling in an area close to the dirt discharging opening 212, increase a transmission pressure, and is more beneficial for transmission of wastewater and dirt to the wastewater tank.

[0124] Preferably, a gap between the thread edge of the threaded rod assembly and the inner wall of the dirt holding tank 204 is less than 1 mm, or ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 mm. If the gap is excessively large, the transmission effect is poor. If the gap is excessively small, the friction force is relatively large, which is not beneficial to rotation of the threaded rod. Especially in a passive rotation mode, the threaded rod often gets stuck and no longer rotates.

[0125] Preferably, a lower edge of the dirt discharging opening 212 is higher than a horizontal position of a central axis of the threaded rod, and an upper edge of the dirt discharging opening is higher than an upper thread edge of the threaded rod assembly; and a width of the dirt discharging opening is less than or equal to a width of the second thread set. The lower edge of the dirt discharging opening affects the actual capacity of the wastewater tank. If the lower edge of the dirt discharging opening is set to be relatively high, the effective capacity of the wastewater tank is expanded.

[0126] Preferably, the dirt discharging opening 212 of the dirt holding tank 204 is provided with a propping block 213, and the propping block 213 props a wastewater tank water inlet cover 502 open. In this way, the water inlet cover 502 of the wastewater tank can be kept in a normally open state. Otherwise, blocking of dirt easily occurs at the water inlet cover 502 of the wastewater tank, affecting normal use of the product.

[0127] Preferably, a ratio of a diameter of the rolling brush assembly to a diameter of the threaded rod assembly ranges from 4:1 to 1:1. Such a diameter ratio is more beneficial to the transmission by using the threaded rod.

[0128] Preferably, the ground brush holder right cover 201 and the ground brush holder left cover 202 are each provided with a rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot 205, an inner wall of at least one rolling brush lifting handle mounting slot 205 is provided with an elastic electrically-conductive component 209, the rolling brush assembly 300 is mounted from top to bottom, an electrically-conductive component 315 is mounted on a side surface of at least one rolling brush lifting handle, the electrically-conductive component 315 matches the elastic electrically-conductive component 209, and two sides of the rolling brush assembly are provided with bearings. This design facilitates disassembly, extraction, and mounting of the rolling brush, and stable electrical conduction.

[0129] Preferably, the ground brush holder right cover 201 and the ground brush holder left cover 202 are respectively provided with a threaded rod rotation head mounting slot 206 and a threaded rod mounting opening 207, a threaded rod rotation head at an end of the threaded rod assembly matches the threaded rod rotation head mounting slot 206, a threaded rod end cover 404 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod mounting opening 207, and a bearing 408 is arranged on at least one side of the threaded rod end cover of the threaded rod assembly. Such a mounting structure facilitates disassembly and stable rotation of the threaded rod assembly.

[0130] Preferably, the clear water delivery pipe 105 directly sprays clear water onto the rolling brush surface.

[0131] Preferably, a shell of the ground brush module is provided with a ground brush flip-over cover 600, the ground brush flip-over cover 600 is provided with a flip-over cover front lock male end 602 and a flip-over cover rear lock female end 603, the flip-over cover front lock male end 602 is adapted to a flip-over cover front lock female end 208, and the flip-over cover rear lock female end 603 is adapted to a flip-over cover lock strip 215. This design facilitates disassembly and replacement of the rolling brush assembly.

[0132] A threaded rod assembly for a ground cleaning apparatus includes a threaded rod body 401 and a threaded rod end cover. The threaded rod body 401 is provided with a first thread set 402 and a second thread set 403, a thread diameter of the second thread set 403 is greater than a thread diameter of the first thread set 402, and a thread pitch of the second thread set 403 is less than a thread pitch of the first thread set 402. A length of the first thread set 402 is greater than a length of the second thread set 403. One end of the threaded rod body 401 is provided with a threaded rod end cover 404. The threaded rod end cover is provided with a sealing ring 405 and a locking mechanism 407. The locking mechanism 407 can lock with the ground brush module.

A mounting groove 316 matching the rolling brush joint 310 is arranged inside the rolling core 313, and the rolling core 313 can be driven to rotate by the rolling brush joint 310 arranged at the end of the motor output shaft 311. A rolling brush lifting handle 301 on one side of the rolling brush assembly is connected to the rolling brush end cover 307 of the rolling core 313 by using a rolling brush sleeve bearing 309 and a second rolling brush shaft 308. One end of the transmission gear-box motor 303 is mounted in the transmission motor holder 312, and the other end of the transmission gear-box motor 303 is partially sheathed in the rolling brush bearing pedestal 306. An outer surface of the other end of the rolling brush bearing pedestal 306 is equipped with a rolling brush bearing 304. The other end of the rolling brush bearing pedestal 306 is provided with a through-hole. A first rolling brush shaft connection pipe is arranged inside the rolling brush lifting handle.

[0134] A rolling brush assembly for a ground cleaning apparatus includes a rolling brush body 302. The rolling brush body 302 includes a rolling core and a rolling brush layer, the rolling brush layer is sleeved over the rolling core, and a rolling brush lifting handle 301 is arranged on one side of the rolling brush assembly.

[0138] In the existing technology, a threaded rod assembly is not arranged. In addition, in the existing technology, a motor of a vacuum cleaner that usually uses an air negative pressure is usually designed on a handle bar, and a wastewater tank is also usually designed on the handle bar.

[0139] Preferably, the rolling brush assembly 300, the threaded rod assembly 400, the clear water tank, and the wastewater tank are sequentially arranged one after another in a horizontal direction, and the horizontal direction may be set as an up-down direction or a left-right direction. Further preferably, the clear water tank and the wastewater tank may be a two-in-one water tank.

Embodiment B

[0140] A ground cleaning apparatus provided in this embodiment includes a rolling brush assembly 300, a ground brush module 200, a clear water tank 103, a wastewater tank, a control module, and a power module. The rolling brush assembly is mounted on the ground brush module, the control module can control running of the cleaning apparatus, and the power module can provide electric energy for the cleaning apparatus.

[0141] The rolling brush assembly 300 includes a rolling core 313 and a collodion cotton rolling brush 314. The collodion cotton rolling brush 314 is sleeved over the rolling core 313. The rolling brush assembly is detachably mounted on the ground brush module 200. A rolling brush detection structure is arranged on the ground brush module 200. The rolling brush detection structure is arranged in contact with the collodion cotton rolling brush 314 on the rolling brush assembly 300. The rolling brush detection structure can detect whether the collodion cotton rolling brush 314 on the rolling brush assembly 300 has water. It is well-known that after being placed in a dry condition for a long time, the collodion cotton becomes hard, and only after water is added to the collodion cotton, the collodion cotton becomes soft. Therefore, the rolling brush detection structure is arranged, to first detect whether there is water on the collodion cotton rolling brush before the cleaning apparatus starts to clean. If there is no water on the collodion cotton rolling brush, the collodion cotton rolling brush is replenished with water in advance and then starts to clean a ground or an object surface, so as to avoid a case that the hard collodion cotton rolling brush cannot clean.

[0142] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 26, the rolling brush detection structure is an electrically-conductive contact 320. At least one group of electrically-conductive contacts 320 is arranged on the ground brush module 200. Each group of electrically-conductive contacts includes two electrically-conductive contact heads, one end of each of the two electrically-conductive contact heads is connected to a power supply, and the two electrically-conductive contact heads of each group of electrically-conductive contacts are both in contact with a collodion cotton rolling brush. When the circuit is switched on, if there is no water on the collodion cotton rolling brush, the two electrically-conductive contact heads cannot form a closed circuit, and detected resistance is very large; or if there is water on the collodion cotton rolling brush, the two electrically-conductive contact heads form a closed circuit, and detected resistance becomes smaller.

[0143] Working principle: The control module sets an upper limit value. When the cleaning apparatus is used, the control module controls the rolling brush detection structure to detect a resistance value. If the resistance value is greater than the upper limit value, it indicates that there is no water on the collodion cotton rolling brush. In this case, the collodion cotton rolling brush cannot clean the ground; and the control module controls the clear water tank to deliver water to the collodion cotton rolling brush and/or deliver water to a dirt holding tank in which a threaded rod assembly is mounted. If the resistance value detected by the rolling brush detection structure is less than the lower limit value, it indicates that water replenishment of the collodion cotton rolling brush is completed or there is water on the collodion cotton rolling brush, that is, the collodion cotton rolling brush is a soft rolling brush and may be used for cleaning the ground. In this case, the control module controls the clear water tank to stop delivering water to the collodion cotton rolling brush or the cleaning apparatus starts a cleaning mode.

[0144] Certainly, the rolling brush detection structure may alternatively be a sensor. The sensor is arranged in contact with the collodion cotton rolling brush of the rolling brush assembly, and the sensor can detect whether there is water or no water on the collodion cotton rolling brush. The sensor includes a water immersion sensor, another detection sensor, or the like.

[0145] Preferably, the rolling brush assembly 300 and the ground brush module 200 are the same as those in Embodiment A.

[0146] Preferably, the electrically-conductive contact 320 is fixedly mounted on the ground brush holder left cover 202 of the ground brush module.

The first water pump 181 can suck clear water in the clear water tank 103 and replenish the collodion cotton rolling brush of the rolling brush assembly with water through the first water replenishment holes 180.

[0151] In an example, similar to Embodiment A, the ground brush module includes a ground brush holder body, a ground brush holder left cover, and a ground brush holder right cover, and additionally includes an upper cover 221.

The water replenishment holes face the collodion cotton rolling brush, so that water is evenly delivered to the surface of the collodion cotton rolling brush. Preferably, the water delivery strip is detachably mounted in the groove.

[0152] Preferably, the first water replenishment holes 180 are located on a side of the rolling brush assembly close to the threaded rod assembly.

Further preferably, as shown in FIG. 32, the fastening component is a mounting slot 828. Preferably, the mounting slot 828 is a U-shaped mounting slot arranged around an outer side of the wastewater opening. A socket 829 is arranged on a surface of the regulation cover 82. An opening of the mounting slot 828 faces the socket 829. The mounting slot 828 communicates with the socket 829. The first mounting structure is a convex edge 134 arranged around an end of the dirt discharging opening 212. When the water tank is to be mounted on the cleaning device, the convex edge 134 is configured to extend into the socket 829, and the convex edge 134 is moved and snapped into the mounting slot 828 by rotating the regulation cover, so that the water tank is mounted on the cleaning device. In this case, the through-hole on the regulation cover is rotated to correspond to the wastewater opening, and the snapping protrusion 811 is snapped into the first snapping slot 825. When the water tank is to be taken out, the regulation cover is rotated in a reverse direction until the convex edge 134 is removed from the mounting slot, so that the water tank can be taken out from the cleaning device. Meanwhile, the blocking portion on the regulation cover is rotated until the blocking portion corresponds to the wastewater opening and the snapping protrusion 811 is snapped into the second snapping slot 826. Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly arranged at one end of the dirt discharging opening close to the wastewater opening, so that the dirt discharging opening is in hermetical communication with the wastewater opening. The fastening component and the mounting slot form a mounting structure of the water tank. The mounting structure is arranged at the wastewater opening and can securely and tightly fasten the dirt discharging opening and the wastewater opening together without leakage of wastewater and dirt. In the existing technology, the mounting structure is not arranged at the wastewater opening. If the water tank shakes on the device, a gap occurs between the dirt discharging opening and the wastewater opening, easily causing wastewater and dirt to seep. Preferably, a positioning member 916 is arranged on the clear water cover assembly. When the water tank is mounted on the ground brush module 200, the positioning member 916 is accommodated in a slot of the ground brush module 200. The positioning member plays a role in positioning the water tank, to prevent the water tank from rotating with the regulation cover when the water tank is mounted, thereby avoiding a case that the mounting is difficult to cause extremely poor user experience.

[0200] Preferably, the wastewater cover assembly is mounted hermetically on the housing. Further, the wastewater cover assembly is in a threaded connection to one end of the housing close to the first accommodating cavity 702. Certainly, this patent is not limited thereto, and the wastewater cover assembly may alternatively be in a snap connection to one end of the housing close to the first accommodating cavity 702. In an example, a wastewater cover sealing ring 814 is fixedly arranged in a position on the inner cover 81 close to the thread, so as to hermetically connect the inner cover 81 of the wastewater cover assembly to the housing.

Clear water cover assembly

[0201] A clear water cover assembly 9 hermetically covers a second opening 705, as shown in FIG. 47. In an example, the clear water cover assembly 9 is in a threaded connection to the second opening 705. Certainly, this patent is not limited thereto, and other hermetical connection manners such as buckling and gluing fall within the protection scope of this patent. In an example, a clear water cover sealing ring 901 is fixedly arranged in a position on the delivery cover body 90 close to the thread, and the clear water cover assembly 9 is hermetically connected to the housing 7 by the clear water cover sealing ring.

[0202] As shown in FIG. 41 to FIG. 44, the clear water cover assembly 9 includes a clear water cover body 90; and the clear water cover body 90 is provided with a delivery passage, a blocking member is arranged at an end of the delivery passage close to the clear water cover body 90, a delivery hole 921 is provided on the blocking member, an inner diameter of the delivery hole 921 is less than an inner diameter of the delivery passage, an elastic member 9121 and a sealing block 9122 are arranged in the delivery passage, and the sealing block 9122 can seal the delivery hole 921 under an elastic force of the elastic member 9121. The clear water cover assembly may automatically block the delivery hole when the water tank is not in use by arranging the elastic member and the sealing block, to avoid liquid leakage; and when the water tank is in use, a gap is formed between the sealing block and the delivery hole by butting against the sealing block, and the liquid can be delivered through the delivery hole. It is convenient to use and easy to operate.

[0203] In a preferred example, as shown in FIG. 42 to FIG. 43, a stop surface is arranged in the delivery passage, one end of the elastic member 9121 is connected to the stop surface, and the other end of the elastic member 9121 is connected to the sealing block 9122. Preferably, the stop surface is an annular spring base 9126, and one end of the elastic member 9121 is placed on the annular spring base 9126. Certainly, the elastic member 9121 may be movably placed on the annular spring base 9126, or may be fixedly arranged on the annular spring base 9126. The other end of the elastic member 9121 is connected to the sealing block 9122. Similarly, the other end of the elastic member 9121 may be fixedly connected to the sealing block 9122, or may be movably connected to the sealing block 9122, for example, butts against the sealing block 9122 or is sleeved over the sealing block 9122. In conclusion, any elastic member that can elastically regulate the sealing block 9122 falls within the protection scope of this patent. Preferably, the elastic member 9121 is a spring. In an example, an outer diameter of an end of the spring close to the annular spring base 9126 is greater than an outer diameter of an end of the spring close to the sealing block 9122, and the outer diameter of the spring gradually decreases from the end of the spring close to the annular spring base 9126 to the end of the spring close to the sealing block 9122. In an example, the annular spring base 9126 is integrally connected to the delivery passage. In another example, the delivery passage includes a first delivery passage and a second delivery passage, an inner diameter of the second delivery passage is greater than an inner diameter of the first delivery passage, and one end of the elastic member 9121 butts against an end portion of the first delivery passage.

[0204] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 42 and FIG. 44, a water passing hole 9124 is provided on the sealing block 9122, and the water passing hole 9124 does not correspond to the delivery hole 921. Preferably, a stop portion 9123 is arranged around the sealing block 9122. An outer diameter of the stop portion 9123 is greater than an inner diameter of the delivery hole 921. The water passing hole 9124 is provided on the stop portion 9123. Preferably, a sealing end 9125 is arranged at an end of the sealing block 9122 close to the delivery hole 921, and the sealing end 9125 is hermetically accommodated in the delivery hole 921. Further preferably, the sealing end 9125 is an elastic sealing end or the blocking member is an elastic blocking member, so that the sealing end is sealed in the delivery hole 921. In an example, the blocking member is a sealing silicone pipe, and the sealing block is a sealing plug. In an example, the stop portion 9123 is integrally connected to the sealing block 9122.

[0205] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 41 to FIG. 43, a pressure regulation valve 922 is arranged on the clear water cover body 90. The pressure regulation valve 922 can regulate a pressure difference between two sides of the clear water cover assembly, to avoid a case that liquid cannot be delivered due to a negative pressure. Preferably, the pressure regulation valve is a duckbill valve, to ensure that no negative pressure occurs in the water tank and water in the water tank can be delivered to the outside of the water tank or water outside the water tank can be delivered into the water tank.

[0206] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 41 to FIG. 43, a filter member 9111 is arranged at an end of the delivery passage away from the blocking member, and the filter member 9111 can filter liquid entering the delivery passage. In an example, the filter member 9111 is a water discharging cotton. The water discharging cotton can filter water in the water tank and then deliver the water to the outside of the water tank through the delivery passage. The water discharging cotton functions to filter impurities in the water, to prevent the impurities from entering the cleaning device and causing damage to components, thereby prolonging the service life of the device.

[0207] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 42 and FIG. 43, the delivery cover includes a first delivery cover 91 and a second delivery cover 92 connected to the first delivery cover 91; and the delivery hole 921 is provided on the second delivery cover 92, and the second delivery passage 912 is in hermetical connection to the delivery hole 921. In an example, the second delivery cover 92 is detachably snapped on the first delivery cover 91. Certainly, this patent is not limited thereto. The second delivery cover 92 may be detachably connected or fixedly connected to the first delivery cover 91. The second delivery cover is snapped on the first delivery cover, so that the blocking member can be stably sealed at one end of the delivery passage, the structure is more stable, and the appearance is more aesthetically pleasant. Further preferably, the first delivery cover 91 is of a split design, the first delivery cover 91 includes a delivery cover 913 and a connection cover 914, the connection cover 914 is connected to the delivery cover 913, and the second delivery cover 92 is mounted on a side of the connection cover away from the delivery cover 913. Preferably, the connection cover 914 is in a threaded connection or snap connection to the delivery cover 913. In an example, the connection cover 914 is in a threaded connection to the delivery cover 913. Preferably, the connection cover 914 is in a threaded connection to the delivery cover 913 by using a sealing ring. In an example, the second delivery cover 92 is in a snap connection to the connection cover 914. In an example, a side surface of the connection cover 914 is provided with an anti-skid structure, to facilitate mounting and detachment of the connection cover.

[0208] The delivery passage includes a first delivery passage 911 and a second delivery passage 912. The first delivery passage 911 is arranged on the delivery cover 913. The second delivery passage 912 is arranged on the connection cover 914. The first delivery passage 911 is hermetically connected to the second delivery passage 912. Preferably, the second delivery passage 912 is hermetically mounted on the first delivery passage 911 by using a sealing ring. In an example, the elastic member 9122, the sealing block 9122, and the annular spring base 9126 are all arranged in the second delivery passage 912, and the water discharging cotton is arranged at an end of the first delivery passage 911 away from the second delivery passage 912. Preferably, the first delivery passage 911 is an L-shaped first delivery passage. During use, an end of the first delivery passage 911 away from the second delivery passage 912 is close to the bottom of the liquid in the first accommodating cavity, so that the first delivery passage can fully deliver the liquid in the second accommodating cavity 703. Certainly, the first delivery passage 911 may alternatively be a hose, so that during use, the end of the first delivery passage 911 away from the second delivery passage 912 naturally droops to or is close to the bottom of the liquid in the first accommodating cavity.

[0209] Further, the delivery cover 913 is of a split design, and the delivery cover 913 further includes an engagement cover 915. The delivery cover 913 is detachably mounted on the engagement cover 915. In an example, the delivery cover 913 is snapped on the engagement cover 915, and the connection cover 914 is connected to the engagement cover 915. The engagement cover 915 is connected to the second opening of the housing through threads. In an example, the engagement cover 915 is hermetically connected to the second opening of the housing by a sealing ring. In an example, a surface of the delivery cover is provided with a water discharging hole, which helps water in the liquid to flow back and forth when the clear water cover assembly covers the water tank, and does not occupy a space of the second accommodating cavity for accommodating the liquid.

[0210] It should be noted that all technical features of the clear water cover assembly may be freely combined in a case without conflict, and the free combination or simple variations, changes, and modifications thereof fall within the protection scope of this patent.

[0211] All technical features of all the foregoing components may be freely combined in a case without conflict, and the free combination or simple variations, changes, and modifications thereof fall within the protection scope of this patent.

[0212] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution in this patent has at least one or more of the following beneficial effects.

[0213] The ground brush holder body 203 is preferably a support frame made of an integrally stretched and formed aluminum material to stably support the entire device. If a plastic support frame is used for supporting, the plastic support frame needs to be thickened, making the device bulky. If special plastic is used, costs may increase, and a structure is complex. In addition, an assembled and formed structure is unstable and prone to damage.

[0214] A combination of the threaded rod assembly and the dirt holding tank is provided. The threaded rod assembly squeezes a rolling brush surface and rotates in a direction opposite to that of the rolling brush. Compared with the technical solution in the prior art in which the rolling brush is scraped with a scraper to remove water and dirt, when the rolling brush is squeezed with the thread, wastewater and dirt on the rolling brush can be squeezed out, which is conducive to self-cleaning and automatic squeezing and drying of the rolling brush.

[0215] A threaded rod body of the threaded rod assembly 400 is provided with a first thread set 402 and a second thread set 403, a thread diameter of the second thread set 403 is greater than a thread diameter of the first thread set 402, a thread pitch of the second thread set 403 is less than a thread pitch of the first thread set 402, and the second thread set is arranged corresponding to the dirt discharging opening 212. The switching between thread sets of different thread pitches can increase a transmission force and a centrifugal force generated by spiraling in an area close to the dirt discharging opening 212, increase a transmission pressure, and is more beneficial for transmission of wastewater and dirt to the wastewater tank. The switching between thread sets of different diameters can also increase a transmission force and a centrifugal force generated by spiraling in an area close to the dirt discharging opening 212, increase a transmission pressure.

[0216] A pressing roller 605 is arranged on the ground brush flip-over cover 600, to further squeeze the rolling brush to remove water, block large-particle dirt, and avoid water marks and dirt remaining on the ground after the rolling brush cleans the ground.

[0217] The ground brush holder is provided with a dirt holding tank 204, and wastewater, clear water, and dirt form a wastewater and dirt flow guide passage through cooperation between the threaded rod assembly and the dirt holding tank, and are guided out through a wastewater and dirt flow guide opening, thereby resolving a problem that water and dirt cannot be effectively removed in the prior art. The angle of the semi-surrounding closed structure of the dirt holding tank 204 preferably ranges from 180 degrees to 270 degrees. This arrangement enables the dirt holding tank 204 to form a relatively closed cavity by using a rolling brush surface, which is more conducive to rotary delivering of the threaded rod assembly. The wastewater and/or the particulate dirt on the rolling brush all falls into the dirt holding tank, to avoid overflow of the wastewater and/or the particulate dirt.

[0218] After completing cleaning of the ground, the ground cleaning apparatus may further mop the ground longer in a clear water state. In this case, the ground is clean. The rolling brush substantially completes self-cleaning work under the rubbing action of the clear water and the threaded rod assembly, and the rolling brush is not prone to generate off-odors.

[0219] Although the ground cleaning machine in the prior art is stated to have the function of dry sweeping and wet mopping, the ground cleaning machine generally has a working principle of using a scraper to scrape off water stains on a rolling brush, but actually cannot achieve an effect of "mopping to be dry" without water stains, and cannot effectively remove dirt and wastewater. In addition, a product with such a function has a high selling price and a complex structural design, and is prone to damage. Alternatively, water stains are sucked completely by using a vacuum cleaner with a large suction force, but the noise is high, and the product price is high. If the scraper of these products exerts a relatively large pressure on the rolling brush, to perform excessive water scraping, great resistance is caused and the rolling brush body is damaged. In addition, regardless of how much pressure the scraper exerts on the rolling brush, water and dirt cannot be fully removed. Because the scraper is in surface contact with the rolling brush body with one being moving and the other being static, the friction resistance is high, and the squeezing efficiency is low, the scraper and the rolling brush are likely to be damaged, and relatively large resistance is generated for the rolling brush. On the contrary, if the applied pressure is small, the wastewater of the rolling brush body cannot be effectively removed, so that water stains are easily formed on the ground from the rolling brush body.

[0220] In this patent, in an aspect, the flexible thread set of the threaded rod assembly and the rolling brush surface are used for rotary squeezing, the threaded rod assembly and the rolling brush assembly are relative rotary squeezing of two cylindrical bodies, resistance is low, and a squeezing effect is good, which is more conducive to squeezing water and removing or scraping off dirt, thereby forming a rubbing and self-cleaning effect. In addition, the thread set of the threaded rod assembly is subtly used to rotate to form the wastewater and dirt delivery passage, which is more conducive to guiding out wastewater and/or particulate dirt. The cleaning device is further provided with a clear water tank and a water pump, to deliver clear water to one end of the threaded rod assembly or a surface of the rolling brush body, so that the rolling brush body further forms a self-cleaning function, which is more conducive to the overall product of this patent not requiring an auxiliary device to implement the cleaning function like other products on the market, thereby implementing a true self-cleaning function.

[0221] The rolling brush has a drive motor mechanism arranged in the rolling brush body, and has a compact structure to save space, which can reduce the volume of the assembly and the device, so that the device is lightweight, portable, and simplified, and production costs can be reduced.

[0222] When the rolling brush assembly is detached from the cleaning device, the drive motor mechanism of the rolling brush is detached integrally with the rolling brush, which is simple to operate and convenient to use, and also avoids a case that wastewater and/or particulate dirt on the rolling brush falls and is immersed on the driving structure, to cause a short circuit of the driving structure and therefore damage the driving structure. The driving structure in the rolling brush is electrically connected to the rolling brush lifting handle mounting slots of the ground brush holder left and right covers, so that the structure is simple, the mounting is convenient, and the design is ingenious. In this way, it is very convenient to disassemble and mount the rolling brush assembly.

[0223] A heat dissipation structure is arranged in the rolling core of the rolling brush assembly 300, and the heat generated by the transmission gear-box motor 303 can be discharged through a heat dissipation passage, to cool down the motor. In this way, the motor can be prevented from being excessively high in temperature and burnt out. A motor assembly formed by the transmission gear-box motor 303 is entirely wrapped by an aluminum housing, which is waterproof, and is conducive to heat dissipation.

[0224] In actual use, the rolling brush often needs to be replaced, and the integral mounting and integral detachment of the rolling brush assembly bring good user experience for the user to replace the rolling brush.

[0225] The wastewater tank is snapped on or fixed to a fixing member of the ground brush module, to facilitate mounting; and a disassembly button is arranged, and the wastewater tank can be easily disassembled by pushing the disassembly button, which helps to pour out the wastewater and dirt or clean the wastewater tank. It is easy particularly for a female group with more frequent use and less strength to disassemble the wastewater tank, making the operation of the wastewater tank simpler and more convenient.

[0226] The clear water tank is arranged, so that the rolling brush can be cleaned with clear water while the rolling brush cleans the wastewater and dirt, to implement a self-cleaning function of the rolling brush, thereby helping to clean the ground better and more cleanly. In addition, a sliding snap fastener structure is arranged on the lever body, so that water purification tanks of different volumes and models can be mounted as required, thereby improving the free flexibility of the device.

[0227] In the present invention, a rolling brush detection structure is arranged, which can detect whether there is water on the rolling brush, to prevent the hard collodion cotton rolling brush from cleaning the ground, so that the cleaning apparatus is more intelligent. After the cleaning apparatus is started, the rolling brush detection structure first detects whether there is water on the rolling brush. If there is water, it indicates that the collodion cotton rolling brush is in a soft state and can directly clean the ground. If there is no water on the rolling brush, it indicates that the collodion cotton rolling brush is in a dry state, and the control module controls the first water pump to deliver water to the collodion cotton rolling brush. If the rolling brush detection structure detects that there is water on the collodion cotton rolling brush, the first water pump stops delivering water to the collodion cotton rolling brush, and the cleaning apparatus starts cleaning operation. In a cleaning process of the cleaning apparatus, the control module controls the second water pump to deliver water to the dirt holding tank in which the threaded rod assembly is mounted. The threaded rod assembly mounted in the dirt holding tank rotates to deliver water and dirt while squeezing the collodion cotton rolling brush, which can not only squeeze and clean the rolling brush, but also deliver and clean wastewater and dirt.

[0228] The threaded rod assembly is arranged in squeezing contact with the rolling brush assembly. During rotation of the rolling brush assembly and the threaded rod assembly, a negative pressure area is formed in the dirt holding tank, and the threaded rod assembly squeezes water and dirt on the collodion cotton rolling brush of the rolling brush assembly into the dirt holding tank. Because the thread set on the threaded rod assembly has a rotation direction and the threaded rod assembly cooperates with the dirt holding tank, water, dirt, and gas in the dirt holding tank are driven by the threaded rod assembly to be delivered to the wastewater opening of the dirt holding tank, and then are thrown into the wastewater tank through high-speed rotation of the second thread set. After the water, the dirt, and the gas in the dirt holding tank are delivered to the wastewater opening, a negative pressure is formed in the dirt holding tank, and the water, the dirt, and the air that are cleaned rotatably by the rolling brush assembly replenish and enter the negative pressure area, which is circulated in this way. After entering the wastewater tank, the wastewater, the dirt, and the gas occupy the volume in the wastewater tank, and air in the wastewater tank needs to be discharged, making it convenient for the wastewater, the dirt, and the gas to continuously enter the wastewater tank. Therefore, an air hole is provided on the shell of the wastewater tank. If the gas pressure in the wastewater tank is not released, water, dirt, and gas in the dirt holding tank cannot continuously enter the wastewater tank, causing water to leak from the cleaning device.

[0229] An air hole is provided on the wastewater tank. After water, dirt, and gas in the dirt holding tank enter the wastewater tank, the gas in the wastewater tank is discharged through the air hole, to balance air pressures inside and outside the wastewater tank.

[0230] An inner wall of the wastewater tank is provided with a blocking slot, which functions to block the air hole and the wastewater and dirt, so as to avoid a case that the air hole is sealed by the wastewater and dirt surging in the wastewater tank or the wastewater and dirt thrown into the wastewater tank from the wastewater tank water inlet, and consequently gas in the wastewater tank cannot be evacuated, air pressure in the wastewater tank cannot be released, or the wastewater and dirt overflow from the air hole. Disposing the water-blocking cotton in the blocking slot has a better surging preventing effect, can prevent dirt from overflowing from the air hole together, and can also prevent external foreign bodies from falling into the wastewater tank from the air hole.

[0231] The rolling brush assembly is sleeved over the motor assembly. The motor assembly drives the rolling brush assembly to rotate through a rotary joint and a mounting groove. The motor assembly is fixedly mounted on the device body. When the rolling brush assembly is detached, the motor assembly is not detached together with the rolling brush assembly, so that the structural design is simple, disassembly is convenient, and operation is easy. A convex strip meshed with the mounting groove is arranged on the rotary joint, an angle between a length direction of the convex strip and a length direction of the rolling brush assembly is less than 90 degrees, and along a direction from an end of the convex strip close to the drive motor to an end of the convex strip away from the drive motor, the convex strip is inclined toward a rotation direction of the rolling brush assembly during advancing. Therefore, when the cleaning device is used, the rolling brush assembly rotates forward. A force toward the motor assembly is applied to the rolling brush body during rotation, so that the rolling brush body is more tightly sleeved over the motor assembly during rotation, to ensure that the rolling brush assembly is not loosened from the device body when the device is in use. In addition, the end of the rolling brush assembly away from the motor assembly is magnetically attracted to the device body, which is convenient for disassembly and mounting, and labor-saving, and is particularly suitable for use by female users with little strength.

[0232] There are few existing two-in-one water tanks. The water tanks are increasingly large. An excessively large water tank is inconvenient to use. In this patent, a unique partition board is designed to reduce the volume of the water tank as much as possible and save space. When the water tank and the cleaning module are placed horizontally, the dirt discharging opening of the wastewater cavity is connected to the dirt discharging opening of the cleaning module, and the dirt discharging opening of the wastewater cavity is arranged on a side wall of the wastewater cavity. In this way, when wastewater and dirt are collected, the wastewater cavity can only use the volume space below the wastewater opening, and the volume space above the wastewater opening is wasted. Alternatively, the wastewater opening is specially designed to be arranged at an upper portion of the wastewater cavity to fully use the volume of the wastewater cavity. Otherwise, because the wastewater and dirt are thrown out by using the threaded rod assembly with a natural throwing force, only half of the lift can be reached through throwing, and the space above the wastewater opening is wasted. In view of the foregoing situation, the space at the upper portion of the wastewater cavity is set as a clear water cavity by using a unique partition board. Advantages of such arrangement make it unnecessary to design a complex dirt discharging structure, and wastewater and dirt can be thrown into the wastewater cavity only by using a lift of natural throwing of the threaded rod assembly. In addition, the upper half of the wastewater cavity divides the water tank into a clear water cavity (that is, the second accommodating cavity) and a wastewater cavity (that is, the first accommodating cavity) through a unique curved or inclined partition board. The clear water cavity may be directly connected to the device body. A clear water pipe of the clear water cavity is very short, so that the structure of the entire cleaning device is more minimalist. Certainly, water in the clear water cavity is sucked through a suction apparatus to supply water to the rolling brush surface. Through the foregoing design, the present device is ingenious in that the cleaning module throws the wastewater and dirt into the wastewater cavity through the lift driven by the threaded rod assembly without providing additional drive. However, because the natural lift is limited and heights of the dirt discharging opening and the wastewater opening are relatively small, an upper portion of the wastewater cavity is cut into a clear water cavity by using a unique partition board, to fully use the volume of the water tank. The function of the unique cleaning module is isolated from the unique partition board of the water tank, so that the water tank can be fully utilized.

[0233] If the two-in-one water tank of this patent matches another similar vacuum cleaner or ground cleaning machine, a degree of matching between them is not higher than that between the water tank of this patent and the cleaning module with the threaded rod assembly. The cleaning module of this patent only needs to drive a driving component of the rolling brush. The threaded rod assembly that is in close contact with the rolling brush can rotate with the rolling brush. The rotation of the threaded rod assembly can drive wastewater and dirt to be delivered to the dirt discharging opening. In addition, the rotation of the threaded rod assembly generates a centrifugal force. A lift is generated under the action of the centrifugal force. The wastewater and dirt are thrown into the wastewater cavity through the lift. Such a manner of dirt discharging is extremely simple, cost-effective, minimalist, and efficient. In addition, internal space of the water tank is fully utilized through a unique partition board design. The foregoing features are combined, and the manner of dirt discharging of the threaded rod assembly and the manner of designing the water tank constitute an obvious innovation compared with the prior art, which produces unexpected effects, further reduces structural complexity of the cleaning device, and can maintain cleaning efficiency, reduce product costs, and improve user experience.

[0234] The water tank is further preferably designed to be cup-shaped, and the ports of the wastewater cover assembly and the clear water cover assembly are therefore designed to be circular. A circular sealing ring may be used to seal the wastewater cover assembly and the clear water cover assembly. The circular sealing ring has a better sealing effect than sealing rings in other shapes, and has a longer service life. In addition, the circular sealing ring is less expensive than sealing rings in other shapes. The water tank is designed to be cup-shaped, which facilitates opening of the wastewater cover assembly and the clear water cover assembly, cleaning of the wastewater cavity, and replenishment of clear water to the clear water cavity. In addition, a filter member is arranged in the wastewater cavity to accommodate dirt, to separate wastewater from the dirt in the wastewater cavity.
