After the cleaning work is completed, the cleaning brush roller is driven by the driving component to enter the brush roller receiving groove, and the baffle is closed, thereby preventing the cleaning brush roller from staying in the air duct and affecting the air flow. The baffle is also provided to further prevent the brush roller receiving groove from affecting the air flow in the air duct. When cleaning is required, the baffle is driven to open by the driving component, and the cleaning brush roller is driven to leave the brush roller receiving groove. After leaving the brush roller receiving groove, the cleaning brush roller moves along the seat body driven by the driving component to clean the air duct on the seat body. Compared with the prior art, the brush roller cleaning mechanism provided by the present invention is provided with a brush roller receiving groove and a baffle, so that the cleaning brush roller can be accommodated in the brush roller receiving groove when not cleaning, and the baffle is blocked on the brush roller receiving groove, thereby preventing the cleaning brush roller and the brush roller receiving groove from affecting the gas flow direction of the air duct on the seat body, and ensuring the air outlet effect.

[0007] Furthermore, the seat body includes an air duct shell and air duct plates arranged on both sides of the air duct shell, the brush roller accommodating groove is opened on the air duct shell, and the two ends of the brush roller accommodating groove extend to the two air duct plates respectively, and the baffle is hinged to one side edge of the brush roller accommodating groove, and is used to rotate to open or close the brush roller accommodating groove under the drive of the driving assembly, so that the cleaning brush roller leaves or enters the brush roller accommodating groove from the other side edge of the brush roller accommodating groove.

[0008] The brush roller cleaning mechanism provided by the present invention has a brush roller accommodating groove extending to two air duct plates on the air duct shell, and the baffle is hinged on one side edge of the brush roller accommodating groove, so that the baffle can be rotated to open or close the brush roller accommodating groove under the drive of the driving component, and the driving method is more stable and easy to control.

[0012] The brush roller cleaning mechanism provided by the present invention provides a flipping and giving way groove on the air duct plate so that the first rotating shaft on the air duct plate can move along the flipping and giving way groove when rotating around the first rotating shaft, thereby avoiding interference of the air duct plate with the movement of the baffle and ensuring the stability of the drive.

[0013] Furthermore, a first limiting groove is provided on the transmission member, and the first rotating shaft passes through the end of the flipping groove and is slidably accommodated in the first limiting groove. The transmission member is used to drive the first rotating shaft to slide along the first limiting groove so that the first rotating shaft moves along the flipping groove.

[0014] The brush roller cleaning mechanism provided by the present invention opens a first limiting groove on the transmission member and drives through the first limiting groove so that the transmission member can drive the baffle to rotate, that is, drives the first rotating shaft to move along the flipping groove and rotate relative to the second rotating shaft, thereby ensuring the stability of the baffle rotation.

[0020] The brush roller cleaning mechanism provided by the present invention defines the movement trajectory of the transmission member by arranging a driving guide groove in the driving box and allowing the transmission member to move along the driving guide groove, so that the transmission member can drive the cleaning brush roller to move along the air duct housing.

[0021] Further, the first driving member includes a driving gear, the transmission member includes a transmission rack, the driving gear and the transmission rack are meshed, and the extension direction of the transmission rack is the same as the extension direction of the driving guide groove, and the driving gear is used to drive the transmission rack to move along the driving guide groove.

[0022] The brush roller cleaning mechanism provided by the present invention realizes driving of the transmission member through the structure of gears and racks, and the driving process is stable, thereby ensuring the stable movement of the transmission member.

[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of guide posts are arranged on the transmission member, and the plurality of guide posts are all slidably arranged in the driving guide groove so that the transmission member moves along the driving guide groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] First embodiment

[0044] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a brush roller cleaning mechanism 100, which can avoid affecting the gas flow direction in the air duct 115 and ensure the air outlet effect.

[0045] The brush roller cleaning mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment includes a base body 110, a cleaning brush roller 130, a driving assembly 150 and a baffle 170. The driving assembly 150 is arranged on the air duct plate 113. A brush roller accommodating groove 190 is opened on the base body 110. The cleaning brush roller 130 is transmission-connected to the driving assembly 150. The driving assembly 150 is used to drive the cleaning brush roller 130 to enter or leave the brush roller accommodating groove 190 and move along the base body 110. The baffle 170 movable cover is arranged on the brush roller accommodating groove 190 and is transmission-connected to the driving assembly 150. The driving assembly 150 is also used to drive the baffle 170 to close the brush roller accommodating groove 190 after driving the cleaning brush roller 130 to enter the brush roller accommodating groove 190, and drive the baffle 170 to open the brush roller accommodating groove 190 before driving the cleaning brush roller 130 to leave the brush roller accommodating groove 190.

[0046] In this embodiment, an air duct 115 is provided on the base 110, and the driving assembly 150 drives the cleaning brush roller 130 to move along the base 110, that is, along the width direction of the air duct 115, so as to clean the air duct 115 in the width direction.

[0047] The brush roller cleaning mechanism 100 provided in the present embodiment has a brush roller accommodating groove 190 formed on the base 110 and a baffle 170 added to the brush roller accommodating groove 190. After the cleaning work is completed, the driving component 150 drives the cleaning brush roller 130 to enter the brush roller accommodating groove 190 and closes the baffle 170, thereby preventing the cleaning brush roller 130 from staying in the air duct 115 and affecting the air flow. The provision of the baffle 170 also further prevents the brush roller accommodating groove 190 from affecting the air flow in the air duct 115. When cleaning is required, the driving component 150 drives the baffle 170 to open and drives the cleaning brush roller 130 to leave the brush roller accommodating groove 190. After leaving the brush roller accommodating groove 190, the cleaning brush roller 130 moves along the base 110 driven by the driving component 150 to clean the air duct 115 on the base 110.

[0048] The base body 110 includes an air duct shell 111 and air duct plates 113 arranged on both sides of the air duct shell 111. The brush roller accommodating groove 190 is provided on the air duct shell 111, and the two ends of the brush roller accommodating groove 190 extend to the two air duct plates 113 respectively. The baffle plate 170 is hinged to one side edge of the brush roller accommodating groove 190, and is used to rotate to open or close the brush roller accommodating groove 190 under the drive of the driving assembly 150, so that the cleaning brush roller 130 leaves or enters the brush roller accommodating groove 190 from the other side edge of the brush roller accommodating groove 190. By providing the brush roller accommodating groove 190 extending to the two air duct plates 113 on the air duct shell 111, and hinged to one side edge of the brush roller accommodating groove 190, the baffle plate 170 can rotate to open or close the brush roller accommodating groove 190 under the drive of the driving assembly 150, and the driving mode is more stable and easy to control.

[0049] In this embodiment, the two ends of the cleaning brush roller 130 pass through the two air duct plates 113 respectively and are connected to the driving assembly 150 arranged on the outside of the air duct plate 113. The cleaning brush roller 130 is arranged along the length direction of the air duct 115, and the brush roller accommodating groove 190 is also arranged along the length direction of the air duct 115. The cleaning brush roller 130 can move along the width direction of the air duct 115 under the drive of the driving assembly 150, so as to clean the air duct 115. It should be noted that a wind wheel is arranged in the air duct 115, and there is a gap between the wind wheel and the air duct shell 111. The cleaning brush roller 130 moves in the gap. As the cleaning brush roller 130 moves upward, the gap between the wind wheel and the air duct shell 111 narrows, and when the cleaning brush roller 130 moves to the top limit position, the wind wheel contacts the cleaning brush roller 130. At this time, the wind wheel is slowly started to clean the wind wheel.

[0050] In this embodiment, the shape of the baffle 170 matches the shape of the brush roller accommodating groove 190, so that the baffle 170 can be assembled on the brush roller accommodating groove 190 when closing the brush roller accommodating groove 190, and the outer side surface of the baffle 170 is flush with the surface of the air duct shell 111, so as to avoid the baffle 170 protruding from the air duct shell 111 and affecting the gas flow direction. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the influence of the baffle 170 on the gas flow direction in the air duct 115 can also be reduced by reducing the thickness of the baffle 170.

[0051] In this embodiment, the inner side surface of the air duct shell 111 and the inner side surface of the air duct plate 113 are jointly arranged to form the air duct 115, and the cross-section of the air duct shell 111 in the width direction of the air duct 115 is arc-shaped, and the cleaning brush roller 130 also moves along the arc when moving along the air duct shell 111.

[0052] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving assembly 150 includes a first driving member 151, a transmission member 153 and a driving box 155. The first driving member 151 is arranged outside the air duct plate 113. The transmission member 153 is connected to the first driving member 151 in a driving manner. The end of the cleaning brush roller 130 is connected to the transmission member 153. The baffle 170 is connected to the transmission member 153. The transmission member 153 is used to move along the air duct plate 113 under the drive of the first driving member 151, and drive the baffle 170 and the cleaning brush roller 130 to move. The driving box 155 is detachably arranged outside the air duct plate 113. The first driving member 151 and the transmission member 153 are both accommodated in the driving box 155. During driving, the first driving member 151 drives the transmission member 153 to move, and the transmission member 153 drives the cleaning brush roller 130 and the baffle 170 to move. The cleaning brush roller 130 and the baffle 170 are driven to move by the transmission member 153 at the same time, which simplifies the transmission structure, and the opening or closing action of the baffle 170 and the leaving or entering the brush roller accommodating groove 190 can be performed synchronously, with high synchronization and no lag.

[0053] The first rotating shaft 171 and the second rotating shaft 173 are respectively provided at the two side edges of the baffle plate 170, and the second rotating shaft 173 is hinged to one side edge of the brush roller accommodating groove 190. The air duct plate 113 is provided with a flipping and giving way groove 113a, which is arranged along the rotation path of the first rotating shaft 171 relative to the second rotating shaft 173. The first rotating shaft 171 passes through the flipping and giving way groove 113a and is transmission-connected to the driving assembly 150, and is used to move along the flipping and giving way groove 113a under the drive of the first driving assembly 150. By providing the flipping and giving way groove 113a on the air duct plate 113, the first rotating shaft 171 on the air duct plate 113 can move along the flipping and giving way groove 113a when rotating around the first rotating shaft 171, thereby preventing the air duct plate 113 from interfering with the movement of the baffle plate 170, and ensuring the stability of the drive.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 171 and the second rotating shaft 173 are respectively arranged on the two side edges of the baffle 170, and the second rotating shaft 173 is rotatably connected to the lower edge of the brush roller accommodating groove 190 by means of a sleeve or a hinge, while the first rotating shaft 171 is overlapped on the upper edge of the brush roller accommodating groove 190. The cleaning brush roller 130 enters and exits from the upper edge of the brush roller accommodating groove driven by the transmission member 153.

[0055] See also Figure 5 The transmission member 153 is provided with a first limiting groove 153a, and the first rotating shaft 171 passes through the end of the flipping and giving way groove 113a and is slidably accommodated in the first limiting groove 153a. The transmission member 153 is used to drive the first rotating shaft 171 to slide along the first limiting groove 153a, so that the first rotating shaft 171 moves along the flipping and giving way groove 113a. By providing the first limiting groove 153a on the transmission member 153, the transmission member 153 is driven by the first limiting groove 153a, so that the transmission member 153 can drive the baffle 170 to rotate, that is, drive the first rotating shaft 171 to move along the flipping and giving way groove 113a, and rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 173, thereby opening and ensuring the stability of the rotation of the baffle 170.

[0056] In this embodiment, the transmission member 153 moves along an arc driven by the first driving member 151, and the movement direction of the transmission member 153 matches the arc direction of the inner side surface of the air duct shell 111. The first limiting groove 153a is arc-shaped, and the arc shape of the first limiting groove 153a matches the movement direction of the transmission member 153, so that when the transmission member 153 moves, the first rotating shaft 171 slides in the first limiting groove 153a and moves along the flipping clearance groove 113a.

[0057] In this embodiment, the transmission member 153 is further provided with a second limiting groove 153b connected with the first limiting groove 153a. The extension direction of the second limiting groove 153b is the same as the movement direction of the transmission member 153. The transmission member 153 is also used to drive the first rotating shaft 171 to slide along the second limiting groove 153b, so that the first rotating shaft 171 is fixed in the flipping and giving way groove 113a. By providing the second limiting groove 153b with the same movement direction as the transmission member 153, after the transmission member 153 drives the baffle 170 to open, the force transmission between the transmission member 153 and the first rotating shaft 171 is released. When the transmission member 153 moves subsequently, the first rotating shaft 171 remains fixed in the flipping and giving way groove 113a, thereby preventing the baffle 170 from continuing to rotate. The second limiting groove 153b prevents the first rotating shaft 171 from interfering with the subsequent movement of the transmission member 153.

[0058] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is a smooth transition between the first limiting groove 153a and the second limiting groove 153b, and the widths of the first limiting groove 153a and the second limiting groove 153b are the same, both slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first rotating shaft 171, so as to facilitate the first rotating shaft 171 to slide in the first limiting groove 153a and the second limiting groove 153b.

[0059] See also Figure 6 The air duct plate 113 is provided with a first guide groove 113b and a second guide groove 113c which are connected to each other. The first guide groove 113b is arranged along the extension direction of the connection line between the air duct plate 113 and the air duct shell 111. The second guide groove 113c is arranged opposite to the brush roller accommodating groove 190. The transmission member 153 is used to drive the cleaning brush roller 130 to move along the first guide groove 113b so that the cleaning brush roller 130 moves along the air duct shell 111. The transmission member 153 is also used to drive the cleaning brush roller 130 to move along the second guide groove 113c so that the cleaning brush roller 130 enters or leaves the brush roller accommodating groove 190. By opening a first guide groove 113b on the air duct plate 113, the movement direction of the cleaning brush roller 130 is limited, so that the cleaning brush roller 130 moves along the air duct shell 111, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning brush roller 130. At the same time, by opening a second guide groove 113c, the cleaning brush roller 130 makes way when entering or leaving the brush roller accommodating groove 190, thereby avoiding interference of the air duct plate 113 with the movement of the cleaning brush roller 130.

[0060] It should be noted that the connecting line between the air duct plate 113 and the air duct shell 111 in the present embodiment refers to the edge trajectory lines at both ends of the air duct shell 111. Specifically, the connecting line is arc-shaped and has the same curvature as the cross-sectional arc of the air duct shell 111 along the width direction of the air duct 115. The cleaning brush roller 130 is limited by the first guide groove 113b, thereby ensuring that the cleaning brush roller 130 is always in contact with the surface of the air duct shell 111 to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0061] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first driving member 151 is arranged in the driving box 155, and a driving guide groove 157 having the same curvature as the first guide groove 113b is arranged in the driving box 155. The transmission member 153 is slidably arranged in the driving guide groove 157, and is used to move along the driving guide groove 157 under the drive of the first driving member 151. The driving box 155 is provided with an avoidance hole 156 corresponding to the first guide groove 113b and the second guide groove 113c. The end of the cleaning brush roller 130 passes through the avoidance hole 156 and is connected to the transmission member 153. At the same time, a cover plate matching hole corresponding to the flipping and giving way groove 113a is arranged on the driving box 155. The shape of the cover plate matching hole is the same as that of the flipping and giving way groove 113a. The end of the second rotating shaft 173 passes through the cover plate matching hole and is assembled in the first limiting groove 153a on the transmission member 153. By setting a driving guide groove 157 in the driving box 155 and allowing the transmission member 153 to move along the driving guide groove 157, the movement trajectory of the transmission member 153 is limited, so that the transmission member 153 can drive the cleaning brush roller 130 to move along the air duct shell 111.

[0062] In this embodiment, the driving guide groove 157 is also arc-shaped, and the curvature is the same as that of the first guide groove 113b. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, when the surface of the air duct shell 111 is planar, the first guide groove 113b and the driving guide groove 157 both extend in a straight direction and are parallel to each other.

[0063] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, when the cleaning brush roller 130 moves along the air duct housing 111, the cleaning brush roller 130 and the transmission member 153 remain relatively fixed. At this time, the first guide groove 113b and the driving guide groove 157 respectively play a role in limiting and guiding the cleaning brush roller 130 and the transmission member 153.
