Background
Surface cleaning devices such as floor washers are becoming more popular as household cleaning appliances for a wide range of users, and users are paying more attention to the cleaning efficiency of floor washer products with the development of floor washer products. Because the double-roller brush can more quickly, efficiently and laborsavingly clean the ground, the double-roller brush is more and more favored by users.
In order to recover the sewage discharged by the rolling brush as soon as possible, a floor washing machine product with the double rolling brushes usually has 2 suction openings in the front and the back, so that the floor cleaning is completed quickly, efficiently and laborsavingly. Although this type of product is very efficient and time-saving in cleaning, under the condition of constant power of the main power source, the suction opening is divided into a front suction opening and a rear suction opening from the original single suction opening, so that the air flow and the vacuum degree of the ground surface are inevitably reduced compared with the single suction opening.
In order to solve the above problems, some prior arts have achieved the object of not seriously decreasing the degree of vacuum by providing a rear suction port with a relatively small sectional area. Although some problems can be solved by the above-mentioned method, the front and rear suction ports are both arranged in the rolling brush chamber, the size of the suction port is generally determined by the gap between the side wall (generally a scraping strip) of the fluid passage and the rolling brush, and in order to ensure the smooth rotation (not easy to be blocked by dirt) of the rolling brush in the rolling brush chamber, the gap between the rolling brush and the rolling brush chamber is generally arranged to be larger, so that the vacuum degree near the front and rear suction ports cannot be set to be too small, and the cleaning effect of the floor washing machine with the double suction ports is reduced on the contrary compared with that of the floor washing machine with the single suction port under the condition that the power of the power source is basically the same.

If the material of the first scraping strip 92 is selected to be a soft material, the free end of the first scraping strip 92 has three states, and when the floor brush assembly 200 is at rest, the free end of the first scraping strip 92 is substantially perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned; when the floor brush assembly 200 moves forward, the free end of the first scraping bar 92 is forced to bend backward, and the cross-sectional area of the first suction port 171 increases; when the floor brush assembly 200 moves backward, the free end of the first scraping bar 92 is forced to bend to the front side, and the sectional area of the first suction opening 171 is reduced; and the first suction opening 171 has a reduced cross-sectional area in such a manner that the first scraping bar 92 forms a transitional slope with the surface to be cleaned, so that the airflow generated by the first suction opening 171 can directly suck impurities such as dust, sewage and the like into the first fluid recovery passageway 17.
As shown in fig. 15, the first scraping bar 92 is disposed to extend in the same direction as the axial direction of the first rolling brush 31, and the length thereof is set to be greater than the length of the first rolling brush 31, that is, at least a part of the end of the first scraping bar 92 is exposed outside the first side portion 13 of the housing 1, preferably, the length of the part of the end of the first scraping bar 92 exposed outside the first side portion 13 may be set to be substantially equal to or slightly greater than the maximum distance between the first side brush 4 and the first side wall, so as to ensure that the garbage and the like cleaned by the first side brush 4 can be scraped by the part of the end of the first scraping bar 92 and sucked into the first fluid recovery channel 17 through the first suction port 171. More preferably, the maximum distance between the first side brush 4 and the first side wall is less than or equal to the length of the part of the first scraping bar 92 exposed outside the first side portion 13, and the length of the part of the first scraping bar 92 exposed outside the first side portion 13 is less than or equal to the maximum set thickness of the elastic bumper bar 131 on the first side portion 13 in the axial direction of the first rolling brush 31.

The first rolling brush chamber 6 is further provided with a second scraping strip 93 which has an interference effect with the first rolling brush 31, the second scraping strip 93 is used for scraping off the excessive fluid on the first rolling brush 31, and can be arranged at the front end of the first rolling brush chamber 6 relative to the first rolling brush 31 or at the upper end of the first rolling brush 31 and close to the first fluid recovery channel 17, in this embodiment, the second scraping strip 93 is selectively arranged at the upper end of the first rolling brush chamber 31 and close to the first fluid recovery channel 17, and the arrangement can be more beneficial to recovering the scraped excessive fluid. Advantageously, as shown in fig. 17, the second scraping bar 93 may be provided with a comb structure to facilitate the cleaning of the hairs and the like on the first rolling brush 31.
As shown in fig. 12 and fig. 18A to 18C, the housing 1 further includes a main fluid recovery passage 16 and a second fluid recovery passage 18, the second fluid recovery passage 18 being provided in the housing 1 adjacent to the second roll brush 32; except that the second suction opening 181 of the second fluid recovery passage 18 is disposed adjacent to the second rolling brush chamber 7 but not in the second rolling brush chamber 7.
The first outlet 172 of the first fluid recovery passage 17 and the second outlet 182 of the second fluid recovery passage 18 are in fluid communication with the inlet 161 of the primary fluid recovery passage 16. Since most of the solid and liquid waste will be cleaned during the forward movement of the surface cleaning apparatus, if the first fluid recovery passage 17 and the second fluid recovery passage 18 are configured to be substantially the same, the suction force of the following second fluid recovery passage 18 will be wasted, and therefore, in this embodiment, the maximum cross-sectional area of the first fluid recovery passage 17 is preferably larger than the maximum cross-sectional area of the second fluid recovery passage 18, so that the floor brush assembly 200 can suck relatively more solid and/or liquid waste through the first roller brush 31 and the first fluid recovery passage 17 for the main cleaning function, and the second roller brush 32 and the second fluid recovery passage 18 can suck relatively less solid and/or liquid waste.
In some embodiments, the maximum cross-sectional area of the first fluid recovery channel 17 is S1, and the maximum cross-sectional area of the second fluid recovery channel 18 is S2, wherein 2 < S1/S2 ≦ 10, preferably 5 < S1/S2 ≦ 10, such that the overall cleaning effect of the floor brush assembly 200 may be maximized without affecting the cleaning efficiency.
The first fluid recovery passageway 17 is disposed at the front side of the main fluid recovery passageway 16 and may be disposed substantially horizontally from the first suction port 171 to the first outlet 172, and in order to ensure smooth flow of fluid flowing in from the first outlet 172 of the first fluid recovery passageway 17, the inlet 161 of the main fluid recovery passageway 16 and the first outlet 172 of the first fluid recovery passageway 17 are disposed in smooth abutment and extend obliquely upward and rearward from the inlet 161 to the outlet 162.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the second fluid recovery channel 18 is disposed at the rear side of the main fluid recovery channel 16, in order not to affect the smoothness of fluid recovery of the first fluid recovery channel 17, a guide pipeline 163 is disposed on the rear sidewall of the main fluid recovery channel 16, an outlet of the guide pipeline 163 is disposed on the rear sidewall of the main fluid recovery channel 16, an inlet of the guide pipeline 163 is fluidly connected to the second outlet 182 of the second fluid recovery channel 18, and the guide pipeline 163 extends obliquely downward and rearward from the outlet to the inlet. With this arrangement, although the small amount of fluid flowing into the main fluid recovery passage 16 from the second fluid recovery passage 18 is not smoothly butted against each other, the large amount of fluid flowing into the main fluid recovery passage 16 from the first fluid recovery passage 17 having a larger suction force can be smoothly recovered into the recovery bucket.
As shown in fig. 18A to 18C, the second fluid recovery channel 18 includes a second upper wall 183 and a second lower wall 184, and a rear half of the second lower wall 184, which is abutted to the guide pipeline 163, is set to be substantially horizontal, so that fluid can flow through the second fluid recovery channel 18, and the cleaning efficiency is improved.
The section of the second lower wall 184 connecting with the second suction opening 181 is provided with at least one protrusion 185, the protrusion 185 is preferably provided in a wedge shape, the inclined side of the wedge-shaped protrusion 185 is provided close to the second suction opening 181 side, the angle and height are set so as not to affect the suction of fluid, and the blocking side of the protrusion 185 cooperates with the substantially horizontal section of the second lower wall 184 to form a second buffer portion preventing undesired backflow.
The second suction opening 181 at least comprises a second suction opening front wall 1811 and a second suction opening rear wall 1812, and is preferably formed by enclosing the second suction opening front wall 1811 and the second suction opening rear wall 1812, a third scraping strip 94 facing to the surface to be cleaned is fixedly arranged in the second suction opening 181, the third scraping strip 94 is provided with a free end capable of contacting with the surface to be cleaned, and a fixed end opposite to the free end of the third scraping strip 94 and used for installing the third scraping strip 94; and the free end of the third wiper strip 94 is positioned and dimensioned to have an amount of interference or clearance with the surface to be cleaned that enables the wiping action.
The third scraping bar 94 is arranged to divide the second suction opening 181 into two suction openings which are independent of each other, namely a second front suction opening which is formed by enclosing the second suction opening front wall 1811 and the third scraping bar 94, and a second rear suction opening which is formed by enclosing the second suction opening rear wall 1812 and the third scraping bar 94; when the floor brush assembly 200 is pushed forward, the waste is sucked into the second fluid recovery passage 18 mainly through the second front suction opening formed by the second suction opening front wall 1811 and the third wiper strip 94; when the floor brush assembly 200 is pulled backward, the garbage is sucked into the second fluid recovery passage 18 mainly through the second rear suction opening formed by the second suction opening rear wall 1812 and the third wiper strip 94. The arrangement can prevent the scraping strip from being an obstacle which is not beneficial to garbage entering the suction port channel when the scrubbing brush assembly 200 moves to the side where the scraping strip is arranged under the condition that the scraping strip is arranged on one side of the suction port.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the material of the third scraping bar 94 is a soft material (silica gel, rubber, etc.); an interference range capable of realizing dust scraping action is formed between the free end of the third scraping strip 94 and the surface to be cleaned, namely the free end of the third scraping strip 94 is designed to be slightly longer, so that the free end can be always attached to the ground during working; correspondingly, if the material of the third scraping strip 94 is a non-soft material, there is a gap between the free end of the third scraping strip 94 and the surface to be cleaned, that is, the free end of the third scraping strip 94 is designed to be slightly shorter, it should be noted that the gap is very small, which enables the airflow velocity formed in the second suction port 181 to be as large as possible, thereby not only improving the cleaning efficiency, but also preventing the free end of the third scraping strip 94 from being damaged.
If the material of the third scraping bar 94 is selected to be a soft material, the free end of the third scraping bar 94 has three states, and when the floor brush assembly 200 is at rest, the free end of the third scraping bar 94 is substantially perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned; when the floor brush assembly 200 moves forward, the free end of the third scraping bar 94 is forced to bend backward, the sectional area of the second front suction opening is increased, the sectional area of the second rear suction opening is decreased, and the second front suction opening forms a main suction opening; when the floor brush assembly 200 is moved backward, the free end of the third scraping bar 94 is forced to bend to the front side, the second front suction opening cross-sectional area decreases, the second rear suction opening cross-sectional area increases, and the second rear suction opening constitutes the main suction opening.
A fourth scraping strip 95 which has an interference effect with the second rolling brush 32 is further arranged in the second rolling brush chamber 7, the fourth scraping strip 95 is used for scraping redundant fluid on the second rolling brush 32, and can be arranged in the second rolling brush chamber 7 and close to the second fluid recovery channel 18, and the arrangement can be more beneficial to the recovery of the scraped redundant fluid.
The second front suction opening is disposed in a direction away from the second rolling brush 32, and the second rear suction opening is disposed in a direction close to the second rolling brush 32; preferably, the second rear suction opening has a larger cross-sectional area than the second front suction opening to ensure that the excessive fluid scraped off the second roll brush 32 can be easily sucked into the second fluid recovery passage 18.
In order to ensure that both fluid and debris on both sides of the third wiper strip 94 are smoothly sucked into the second fluid recovery passage 18, the free end of the second suction opening front wall 1811 forming part of the second front suction opening is spaced further from the surface to be cleaned than the free end of the third wiper strip 94, thereby ensuring that a gap is always formed between the second front suction opening and the surface to be cleaned, through which fluid and large-particle debris can be sucked.
Likewise, the free end of the second suction port rear wall 1812 which forms part of the second rear suction port is located at a greater distance from the surface to be cleaned than the free end of the third wiper strip 94, thereby ensuring that a gap is always formed between the second rear suction port and the surface to be cleaned, into which fluid and large garbage can be sucked.
