Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 The electric floor brush shown has a floor brush body 1, which includes a shell 10, a roller brush 2 arranged inside the shell 10 and partially exposed from the shell 10, and a power source 3 arranged inside the shell 1 for driving the roller brush 2 to rotate.

[0029] One end of the housing 10 has a detachable end cover 11 , one end of the roller brush 2 is connected to the end cover 11 through a bearing assembly, and the other end of the roller brush 2 cooperates with the transmission head 30 of the power source 3 , thereby realizing the power source 3 driving the roller brush 2 to rotate.

[0030] The floor brush body 1 also includes a locking assembly for locking the end cover 11 on the shell 10 and an unlocking piece for unlocking the locking assembly. When the unlocking piece is operated, the locking assembly is unlocked, and the end cover 11 slides forward relative to the shell 10 and disengages from the shell 10. In this way, the roller brush 2 can be taken out of the shell 10 together with the end cover 11.

[0031] In this embodiment: the unlocking member specifically includes an unlocking button 40 that is pressably connected to the shell 10, and an unlocking elastic member 41 connected between the shell 10 and the unlocking button 40 for driving the unlocking button 40 to reset. When the unlocking button 40 is pressed, the unlocking button 40 compresses the unlocking elastic member 41, and when the unlocking button 40 is released, the unlocking elastic member 41 rebounds to reset the unlocking button 40.

[0032] The locking assembly specifically includes a first hook 110 provided on the end cap 11 and a second hook 400 provided on the unlocking button 40. When the locking assembly is locked, the second hook 400 hooks onto the first hook 110, at which point the end cap 11 is connected to the housing 10. When the unlocking button 40 is pressed, the second hook 400 moves with the unlocking button 40 and disengages from the first hook 110, unlocking the locking assembly. At this point, the end cap 11 can be removed from the housing 10. The first hook 110 and the second hook 400 are provided with guide slopes 1101 and 4001 to facilitate their engagement. When the end cap 11 is installed, the guide slopes 1101 and 4001 ensure smooth engagement of the first hook 110 and the second hook 400. In addition, the locking assembly also includes a third hook 111 arranged on the end cover 11, and a buckle 100 arranged on the shell 10 that can cooperate with the third hook 111. The third hook 111 and the buckle 100 are respectively provided in multiple groups, and 5 groups are shown in the figure as an example. The stability of the connection of the end cover 11 can be ensured by the cooperation of the third hook 111 and the buckle 100.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bearing assembly includes a bearing seat 50 and a bearing 51 connected to the bearing seat 50. The shaft of the roller brush 2 is connected to the bearing 51, and the bearing seat 50 is connected to the end cover 11. The specific connection method between the bearing seat 50 and the end cover 11 is as follows: a first connecting portion 112 is provided on the end cover 11, and a second connecting portion 500 is provided on the bearing seat 50. The first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 500 are cooperatively connected. Specifically, hooks 1120 and 5000 are formed on both sides of the first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 500, respectively. The first connecting portion 112 and the second connecting portion 500 are cooperatively connected via the hooks 1120 and 5000, and the first connecting portion 112 can slide relative to the second connecting portion 500 in the sliding unlocking direction (front side) of the end cover 11. In addition, a bearing elastic member 52 is provided between the first connecting part 112 and the second connecting part 500 for driving the first connecting part 112 and the second connecting part 500 to slide relative to each other. When the locking assembly is unlocked, the elastic force of the bearing elastic member 52 will help the end cover 11 to disengage from the shell 10.

[0034] like Figure 5-7 As shown: When removing the end cover 11 and the roller brush 2, press the unlocking button 40, the second hook 400 moves with the unlocking button 40 and disengages from the first hook 110 and slides forward, the third hook 111 disengages from the buckle 100, and the roller brush 2 can be taken out of the housing 10 together with the end cover 11.

[0035] like Figure 8-11 As shown: when installing the end cover 11 and the roller brush 2, the end cover 11 and the roller brush 2 are inserted into the housing 10, and the end cover 11 is slid backward. The first hook 110 and the second hook 400 can be smoothly hooked through the guide slopes 1101 and 4001, and the first hook 110 and the second hook 400 can be kept in the hooked state by unlocking the elastic member 41.

[0036] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention are intended to be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
