Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and particularly relates to a surface cleaning head for a vacuum cleaner. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, vacuum cleaners are usually used to suck dust and other particulate matters on the ground to be cleaned, and are particularly suitable for cleaning rough floors, such as cleaning carpets and wooden floors indoors. For the cleaning of smooth floors, such as floor tiles and ceramic tiles, generally, a cleaning mop is used, and the smooth floor is scrubbed with a wet mop cloth to remove the stains on its surface. However, such a cleaning method inevitably requires the user to replace the cleaning tool multiple times to complete the cleaning operation of the surface to be cleaned, and the operation is relatively cumbersome.

[0003] Chinese invention patent with publication number CN106455880B discloses a floor cleaning device, and specifically discloses a nozzle of a floor cleaning device suitable for wet cleaning and dry cleaning. The nozzle includes an air flow inlet at the front end of the nozzle, a rear wheel at the rear end of the nozzle, and a detachable wet cleaning device. The detachable wet cleaning device lifts the rear end of the nozzle when it is installed below the rear wheel of the nozzle, and wherein the detachable wet cleaning device has a liquid container for containing liquid for wetting the removable mopping substrate. The nozzle installs the wet cleaning device by raising the rear end of the nozzle, so as to scrub the surface to be cleaned. In this way, a spacing is formed between the air flow inlet of the nozzle and the surface to be cleaned, which easily causes the suction force to be dispersed, and some larger particulate matters are not easily sucked in, thereby reducing the dust suction effect. In addition, when the rear end is lifted, the scraper is also lifted, and a spacing is formed between the scraper and the ground to be cleaned, which easily causes the particulate matters in the dust to pass through the spacing between the scraper and the ground and flow to one side of the mopping substrate, resulting in the mop cloth at the bottom of the mopping substrate sticking to the particulate matters, becoming dirtier and more difficult to clean, thereby reducing the mopping effect of the mop cloth. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a surface cleaning head for a vacuum cleaner with good dust suction and scrubbing effects.
